Yesterday when I picked him up from school, teacher Jolene was around. Teacher Pris passed him to teacher Jolene then to me. He screamed and cried. I was surprised by his reaction. Instead he wanted teacher Jolene to hold him for awhile more. So after a few minutes while the adults are chatting , he was in her arms, happily looking around. Then when he was passed back to me, no more screams/cries from him. Apparently teacher Jolene just popped by the centre later in the evening. He probably missed her. He is most attached to her among the teachers... hahaa
On my way back home from work, I called Dr Khor and updated her about Shawn's condition. Kidstarz told me that he did cough badly in the afternoon, very congested and phelgmy. Dr Khor suggested to go for an X-ray because Shawn has been coughing for a long while. She wanted to be sure that his lungs are clear. So I quickly settled his dinner rolled oats with beef and packed up his stuff . We left home at about 7pm and went to East Shore. Shawn was curiuosly looking around and chatty when we were consulted by the doctor there. Doctor said there is no wheezing. Even when the doctor forced his mouth open to check his throat, he was okay with it.
X-ray time. He had to lie down on the stretcher with me holding his arms close to his head/ears. He whimpered a little while the radiologist wrap his legs down with a cling wrapped thing so that he doesn't move. Less than 1 minute, it's all done. Brave boy. Then the nurse had to take urine for test. We had to wait for him to pee and that was like 20minutes wait. We went back to the doctor and good news, lungs are clear and urine is clear as well. The doctor made a disclaimer, he mentioned as what he is looking at right now, the lungs are clear BUT he is not an X-ray specialist. So today the X-ray specialist would interpret the X-ray and let us know if there is any issue. Duh... Anyway, the bill from East Shore cost us a bomb. The damage is mainly from the off-office hours consultation and X-ray fees.
We got home at about 9pm plus. Mum cooked dinner and I quickly wiped him down and bathed. While we are having our dinner, Shawn had half a piece of bread. He obviously looked tired. After dinner I nursed him to sleep but it was not easy. He was cranky. He finally slept at 10.45pm or so. I too, kong-ed out at 11pm. Then Shawn woke me up at 2plus, 5plus and finally 7plus this morning. I had to nurse him back to sleep during the 2 earlier wakings and now I am so dead tired today. He was sleeping through for the past week but last night he went back to square one. I reckon it is because of the evening schedule got messed up by us and he did not settle to sleep on his on??? We will see again tonight as I would put him back to the usual routine which we had in the past one week. I hope it works again.
