Sick log

September 21, 2006

JS started to have a bad cough on the wee hours of Wednesday, quickly gave her ventolin inhaler and also the cough medicine…hoping to supress the symptom…unfortunately it turned out to be an acute ashmatic attack in the middle of the night.

1am: slight fever. Gave her paracetemol. But can see she’s suffering, as her breathing is shallow and chest is tight. hoping she can tolerate till morning (the paed opens at 9am)

1am – 3am: Slipping in and out of sleep and keep coughing. Can hear wheezing

3am: Hubby said sent her to the 24 hours clinic for nebulizer. JS refuse to go with daddy alone and baby is in deep slumber…no choice…mummy have to drive out to the clinic 15 min away frm home at 3.am

3.50am: reached home. Complaint about stomach ache. Vomitted. (lucky vomitted in the potty and not all over the place)

4.30am: everybody went back to sleep.

10am: woke up. cough still bad, still alot of phelgm. gave her medicine.

12pm: Still can hear wheezing and shallow breathing. Sent her to the paed for another doze of nebulizer.

2pm: napping now. will monitor to see if she needs another doze of nebulizer during the night…


Learning Chinese

September 21, 2006

JS always asked me “What shall we do now??” , “mummy, can I watch TV?” , “mummy, can we do….?” .

She seems to be bored. To occupy her, I have decided to teach her some simple Chinese words. But I don’t want to make it sounds bored….so we “play school” at home and make full use of the easel we have. We took turn to be teacher…even WH joined in the fun.

used recycle cardboard to cut out the underwater creatures for JS to paste on the paper. (Theme: My home : water/sea)

Drew natures and the body part for JS to colour.

The “play school” session was fun , both of them enjoy it. This morning I saw JS sitting in front of the easel and trying to go through the words she learn yesterday all by herself.

I hope I can be consistent in doing this homeschooling thingy with them…..so much idea…but a little lazy  no time to prepare the materials…
