Elyas not feeling well since last week (or more to several weeks). he has cold continuously since last month (baik kejap pastu kena balik), got gastroenteritis (vomit and diarrhea or stomach bug), less appetite, and Sunday his left eye swollen.
the cold probably from cold weather. because we already start send him to nursery, i give him oil fish and multivitamin liquid to develop his immunisation, though i am not kind a mum that panic if her baby got sick. is it strange if i say; beside disturb nightsleep, i don’t mind at all if Elyas get cold or never think to “sterile” our house with dettol/ bacteria killer spray or main tanah guling2 because i think baby need to get those things to avoid he growing up as oversensitive to surround environment toddler/person (this is my personal opinion and i know that every mum has her own opinion on how to bring up a child)
the gastroenteritis is vomiting and diarrhea symptom that cause by virus. this one quite worrying me because we don’t have any clue how he got this..this could be from raw meat or from other person or his own poop if touch then insert his fingers into his mouth… everytime Elyas got gastroenteritis, he threw up like crazy (mcm exorcist pun ade, yang muntah terpancut2 keluar tu) and diarrhea… because he knew that his stomach not okay he lost his appetite.. minum susu pun tak moh… sian anak Mama, kurus terus.
about the appetite. we went for weighed him on his 13 months. after like 2 months from the last weighed he only added 0.08kg!!! the health visitor (HV) consulted me what i give him…. and i found out that i done it the other way around. i should give him less rice or pasta but more sauce that rich with fat because he need instant energy and rice/pasta take longer to digest. so HV suggest that i put all fat as possible; milk,cheese,butter, chicken, yogurt, cheese to eat in his daily diet.. hehehe.. patutlah anak aku kurus tak macam anak omputih!! now I changed his diet.. put more fat (but when he got gatroenteritis, i stoped give dairy things, just plain rice porridge with some vege and chicken) in his food and give more yogurt and cheese for snack.
then on Sunday, his left eye swollen and have many discharge (sakit mata tapi tak merah cam sakit mata yang biasa tu).. we became very panic when at 2 am he was crying like crazy.. he refused to cuddle or milk. Adi called NHS emergency to ask for some help.. when Adi told the nurse, she asked “is he having cold?” and yes he is having cold now. and then the nurse said it happen because the cold virus enter the eyes when he rub his nose then rub his eyes.. we never heard about this before but from the nurse said this is common here. she told us not to worried, just wash Elyas’ hands and face regularly.. alhamdulillah, his eyes seem better today..
sorry Elyas, Mama & Abah don’t have any experience with baby sickness before and you’re our “guinea pig”… hehehe.. but we have learnt a lot from you.. so maybe adik-adik nanti Mama & Abah lagi tau nak buat ape..
). We can “see” our future in Malaysia, how to organise (but of course we need to struggle for first several months). Plus I already sick to death living in oversea and my heart and mind already in malaysia.
). pendek kater kalau kat msia boleh lah nak usaha camna-camna. I will try to secure a job in UK first sbb visa pun mati bulan 1, but if I can’t find any job I think the best way is to me & Elyas back to Msia for good even though need to stay apart from Adi. i think maybe lots of people not agree with me or say that i am materialistic, mementingkan duit dari suami sendiri tapi kalau pun ade economy problem kat msia hati masih boleh lagi senang dan boleh diusaha, tapi kalau kat sini hari2 susah hati dan tak de tempat nak mengadu atau mintak tolong and I think 2 years (or more likely 1 year and half) is not too long and we could make it. pening woo pikir psl duit ni.. kalau postgrad tajaan kerajaan, scholar dapat byk plus gaji msia jalan, spouse n kids dapat elaun. Adi dpt scholar undergrad so xde allowance for spouse n kid. walaupun kerja part time tapi tak cukup gak. this year lagilah terasa sbb saya kerja 8jam je seminggu banding 26 jam sebelom ni.. pening-pening.. kalau lah boleh byr guna bulu, dah lama ku cabut bulu-bulu suami ku buat bayar bills, kan senang?
) i admit i’m also not a long distance friendship and internet kinda person and you’ll find me pretty boring (like what u read now. bosan kan tulisan saya nih? heheheh) but if u close with me, i’m not too bad boleh lah buat lawak bodo.. acheh, boleh pulak puji diri sendiri…
