A Sick Baby Updates

My Little Lady last had fever on Thursday morning. We fed her a dosage of paracertamol at 6.30 a.m. and her fever never came back since then. Her swelling reduced tremendously and there were no rashes on her body. The doctor has informed us that it will take a few days with 2 days of high fever and thereafter the fever will go up and down for another few more days. We praise God for His healing and that my Little Lady was healed within less than 2 days. Her fever started on Tuesday night and Wednesday was the crazy day and by Thursday early morning it was all gone. As I write this I am reminded of this verse;- " I waited patiently for the Lord, he turned to me and heard my cry ." Psalm 40 And thank you all who has kept us in your prayers :) We appreciate it very much. Got to run for now. Since Daddy Yeoh and Little Lady have both recovered, I will be making American breakfast for them...Smoked English Breakfast Sausages (homemade by my brother in law) yummy!

A Sick Baby Part III

Yesterday, while at work, I called Grandma to check on the Little Lady. Grandma told me her fever was very high despite the paracertamol and Grandma was trying to sponge her at that point of time. 10 minutes later Grandma called to say the Little Lady's left eye was swollen and there were red patches on her forehead. Panic seeps in and in a hurry I left the office. On the way I called the pead in SJMC. I was told he will be on a half day leave, which means I have about 50 minutes or less from my office to Cheras to pick my Little Lady and to SJMC in Subang. I was like "What?!" I told the doctor's PA that I will try my best to reach in time. I called Grandma to get ready. I sped all the way home (sometime my teenage rebellious and mindless behaviour may come in handy in times like this). Reach home and found Grandma carrying my Little Lady in her arms waiting outside the porch. We strapped her in her car seat, jumped into the car and planned out a strategy (not really

A Sick Baby Part II

I was up since 3 plus in the morning. I have 2 down with fever. Dady Yeoh and the Little Lady. I felt her body warm last night but didn't think much of it. Sometimes baby girls have higher temperature but too low for fever. I am always the first to know if she has a fever (without a thermo). Mummy instinct? Or perhaps breastfeeding helps me to familiriaze with her body temperature? Either way I am thankful I have an in-built thermo. At 9.30 p.m. her temperature has gone up to 38.2 C. By the way, that was a reading took from a thermo :). Gave her paracertamol from the frigde and put a wet towel on her forehead. When she felt asleep, I put on the Kool-Fever for her. At around 3 or so in the morning, her body turned to my side and rest half her body on my side. I woke up feeling the heat and realised that her temperature was really high. Gave her another dose of paracertamol. Woke Daddy Yeoh up but Daddy Yeoh was drowsy from the medication he took. When her fever refused to subsid

Good Morning Lord

Yesterday morning, I lay half awake on my bed feeling every now and then a warm but gentle breeze of air on my shoulder. The little lady was sleeping closely by with her face towards me almost kissing my shoulder with the tip of her nose. I was reluctant to get up but the stillness of the dawn caught the better of me. I was fighting to get back to sleep when I realized how still and quiet it was. It was as if time stood still. In the midst of sleepiness, I sensed as if He was there in the room. In the quietness, He is found, a being so great and mighty yet so still and calm. I tried waking a little earlier today and see if His presence would greet me again. But as open my eyes, I could hear the roaring of the engine of a bike down the road below. Subconsciously I knew He was there but it seemed so dim, so far from yesterday. My little lady woke up from her sleep and popped her head up and called out to me as I was looking out the window consciously trying to feel His presence. “ Ma ma

An Anguish Heart

I was thinking about Matthew the whole day today at work. Especially today. I don’t know Matthew or his mommy, and I have never seen him before but when I read about him, I can’t help but cried silently. I told God I have no words to pray for Matthew’s family for I know how much it hurts. I just kept silent and allow my heart to cry and tears to flow. The only comfort a mother can receive is to know that her child is now safely home with our Lord and he will not suffer anymore in this sinful world. But will it truly comfort a mother’s anguish heart? I called Grandma twice today. Asking her what is my little lady doing? For today I miss her much more. It brought my thoughts back to yesterday evening. My little lady did a solo performance for her Mummy by doing all the action to the song of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ with Grandma singing beside her. She ended the song with “( how I wonder what you …) AHHH ( are )”. It was beautiful. Her very first performance for me. And I gave her
