Dramatic week

A lot of happening this week.

Papa hurt his back on Thursday and not able to get out of bed. Scared the hell out of me. Wanted to call ambulance but called ah gong 1st. He came and manage to help him up. Brought him to accuputure.

At the same time, since Ze had been coughing for 2 weeks, decided to let the chinese physician check him also.

Commented that his heaty cough but his body is 'liang'. So cannot take food that are heaty as he cannot take 'liang' stuff to counter the heatiness.

The physician prescibe a bag full of powder for him. Mix with water and feed him spread over the day. He is willing to take the 1st time but not subsequently

That night, ah ma commented that his breathing is very fast.

Friday morning quickly bring him to PD and he is dignose with bronchitis. Also check with the doctor about the red rashes on his hand and foot. Suspected HFMD as there are no ulcers in his mouth.

For the bronchitis treatment, we had to rent an equipment home where we will put the medicine into it and he have to breath in the 'smoke' through a mask. He was very obedient when the nurse was teaching us how to use at the clinic but slightly unco-operative when at home.

At night, his hand and foot red spot spread from a few spots to the whole hand and foot.

We check the internet and found out that he has most of the symptoms.

• Fever
• Vomitting
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Non-itchy rash

Quickly bring didi home and ask ah ma to monitor ze for the night.

Was worried and thinking whether to admit him to KKH or not.

Sat morning, bring him back to PD but PD said its not because there is no ulcer in his mouth and the rash did not turn into blister. It could be medicine allegy.

Phew. We were thinking then maybe its the TCM medicine that he might be allegy to.

Feel bad that ze had to see doctors 6 times in 1 month. Money is not the concern although we do not 'print notes'.

He has also missed school for 2 weeks already plus next week, will be 3 weeks.

Hope that both papa and ze will be get well soon. (papa back injury will be a longgg recovery journey)
