Sick again?

Poor little fella is sick again. His cough at 6am woke me up. He wasn't just coughing once and stopped but was easily continuously for a few minutes (and it felt like forever).

He wasn't complaining about the cough as he was still sleeping when I peeped into his crib. I woke him up to comfort his cough. And I gave him some cough syrup which he hated it. It's then time for milk. He went back to sleep after milk.

Little boy must have been so drowsy and sleepy that he slept till 10am, which is quite rare. He normally wakes up by 9am for next feed and his favourite bath time.

Now that he can sit up supported, we decided to sit him up in his baby tub to bath him. Little Andrew LOVES bath time and best if it's bubble bath!!! He used to stay quite still in the tub but now he is beginning to kick and wave so much! He is totally enjoying it!

After his bath, we called the clinic to schedule an appointment for noon.

Little Andrew is such trooper. No crying during measurements and examination. In fact he enjoyed the examination table at the doctor's clinic. You see, Dr K has this bouncy animals hanging over the table. And little Andrew totally digs animal now so he is loving it!!

Dr K prescribed the same cough syrup we still have at home as well as seawater solution for his nose. Oh and plus the nose drops.

I like the way Dr K described the function of the seawater and nose drops. He mentioned that the nose is like a drain and now it's blocked. So you use the seawater to flush it. And the nose drop is to dry up the wet drain after it's flush so that the drain will flow smoothly.

I hope little Andrew will get well soon. I felt so miserable when I heard his cough this morning.
