Shawn woke up at 5am with pretty bad cough, sounded phlegmy. So my mum and I brought him to the PD to check what's wrong with him. Apparently he had bad backflow that caused his chest to be infected therefore causing very chesty, wheezing cough. If he doesn't get any better, we have to bring back to review this weekend. We have to feed him the cough medication strictly on time otherwise if it worsens, it could trigger asthma :( He was given antibiotics, runny nose, cough and wheezing medication. Scary to see a kid of his age to be fed with so many types of medication. So today, I was at home with him and my mum. He was cranky and very sticky to us.
He had good appetite. I cooked him 3tablespoons of oats with a drop of bovril for lunch. For dinner, I cooked porridge with pumpkin and spinach (on 2nd thoughts, this is a little too much for him). While waiting for us to finish dinner, my mum picked him up coz he was whiny and crying. Then he was doing all the stunts flying horizontally and climbing up my mum etc. When we fed him medication via syringe, he squirmed and struggled. I managed to feed a little bit and then... the whole lot of dinner came out! He vomitted and then he cried... Awwwwwwwwwwww! My heart just broke. All 3 of us took turns to carry him to pacify him. By the time I fed him another round of antibiotics and cough medication, after his wipe down, he struggled as well. Then it was business as usual. He played in his cot as if nothing had happened.
He had never been in such bad shape till today. Not just his cough and runny nose, he having very very bad gums too. We suffered bites on our arms, faces, shoulders and fingers. And his little fingers suffered too. I think I also badly need some real tough muscles and stamina to keep up with Shawn's muscle power. Let's hope that he'll get well soon and teething episode would simmer down too!!!
