First day of staycation

To me, today was an eventful day. We checked in the hotel, brought the twins to their first swimming experience, had dinner, rested and went for a short evening walk.

We were tired but still happy. The twins weren't at their best behaviour but were doing good considering this is their first hotel stay.

Dear Lord, thank you for watching over us. Amen Lord.

The beginning of two weeks as a stay home mom.

My nanny home is undergoing upgrading by HDB for 2 weeks, so I am on two weeks leave to take care of the twins. After the 1 week holiday taken by my nanny last year, this the longest period that I will be spending with the twins.  The blessing is, Louis will be around to help out and we have planned staycation and activites to entertain the kids and allow us to stay sane.

We have packed for the staycation and are pretty excited about the holiday.  Staycation will be the pre preparation for the oversea trip.  Hopefully, we will be able to bring them overseas to Perth or Hong Kong, else going to Bintan is also not a bad ideas.

Righteous has not been able to sleep well the last two nights, crossing fingers for the rest of the weeks. Dear Lord, please watch over us and show us mercy. Amen Lord.

What a CNY for 2013

We had a terrible CNY 2013. The twins started having fever on new year eve and instead of getting better, the fever spike and they seem to be fighting a horrible viral fever.

This was confirmed during our visit to KKH on 2nd day of cny. The blood test was clear but I am worried about urinary infection for ah girl, so we went back again on 3rd day. Was totally glad and grateful that the test was negative and she is clear. So, now we have to continue to fight the viral till their immunity is stronger and win the battle. Till now, it will be lots of medicine for them to bring the temperature down to make them feel better.

I felt jealous and depressed from reading and looking at all the happy pictures about cny. Everyone are having rolling good time while we were left fighting the nasty fever. But I am and will be forever grateful for having the twins and do what I need to do to get them well. We will be celebrating the rest of the future festives with a happy heart and super rolling great time. Amen Lord.

Persistent high fever is not leaving the kids alone.

It has been day 3 and the fever remain high at 39 plus degree once the medicine wore off. Although this is not the first time that they were down with viral fever but it is always worrying each time the fever strike so high. Had their blood tested this morning, all good.   The urine test was unsuccessful, failed to capture the urine, now I am remain worried that it could be urinary infection which is common for young children.

There were many articles providing information about fever among young children and stating that fever do not cause brain damage. However, all it need is one article on a case of brain damaged incident causes by High fever to drive any parents nuts. No amount of assuranced and reasoning, logic or facts will help. Any form of risk or threat that could compromise the health of our children is too risky.

Dear Lord, please heal them and remove the viral fever. Please watch over them and give them strength. I am weak and fearful, please give me courage and wisdom on managing and taking care of them. I have no one else but you in timr of need, please forgive me..Dear Lord, please take care of them. Thank you, lord. Amen.

Nursing two unwell babies over cny.

Chinese new year eve started terrible with the twins both felt sick with high fever. The fever was persistence and they were feeling unwell. They were pretty restless during visiting on first day of cny. Now Righteous is resting next to me with fever as high as 38.5 degree and the medicine does seem to work on her. She will need to break the fever to get well. I am very worry and will bring her to kkh if the fever do not drop by tomorrow morning.

It makes me wonder about my decision in insisiting on bringing them for visitng even though they were unwell. Louis wanted to stay home and let them rest but first day of cny is such important day that I want them to value the significant of cny. Then again, they might be too young to understand and it is probably me who wanted to celebrate the festive.

Dear babies, please get well soon..mama love u and looking back, we should maybe really stay home and allow both of you to rest.
