He's ill Again

Aiyah... just when I was still celebrating his recovery from his stomach flu.. He’s down again with fever, cough and leaky nose.... Fortunately, he's still pretty active despite being unwell. His appetite for porridge and rice is gone, instead, he's drinking more milk now. From his usual 120ml last feed before he goes to bed each night, he's now demanding nearly 200ml. His usual afternoon feed of 90-120ml has also increased to 180ml.

Feeding him medication is a real nightmare!!! I basically gotta wrestle with him and pin him down before I administer the medication into his mouth with the help of a syringe. In the process, it's quite common to poke him accidentally somewhere in the face due to all his struggles and at times, he'll knock his head against furniture....

This boy when he is ill is extremely demanding and sticky. He'll want to be carried all the time and he'll whine and scream at the slightest provocation. Sometimes I and mil will really be at a lost, we simply can't interpret what he wants. hmmmm he behaves more like a whiny girl than a macho man.... that's bad...

At this point, while I'm blogging, he's screaming his head off outside with his grandma at his side and keep asking in an exasperated voice :"what you want?? what you want???" I guess I better get going to relieve her; otherwise she'll go insane very soon.
