Living Mye Life

I took my first leave from work this year because Nathan needs to see his pedia, his LBM is worsening and I’m afraid it will lead to dehydration and we don’t want that to happen. Good thing that his health card from hubby’s company is now effective since January.

I don’t want to change his paediatrician anymore but then when I checked on the card’s coordinator I found out that his paediatrician is included in the lists of accredited doctors. We were so glad that I never have to change Nate’s doctor anymore. Nate was subjected to fecalysis test and he advised to drink lots of fluid and some vial to prevent his diarrhea from getting worst. His doctor reminds us to observe his moods, or if his lips get dry and his if he gets lethargic. But looking at him he is so active and loves to play and I pray that despite of his watery poos, he will respond to the medicine his doctor gave him. And I just spent my whole Friday being with my baby. I love the bonding moments.

I thanked our family, relatives, officemates, best friends, friends and class mates for taking time to be with Nathan that day.  I’m quite worried that we will start the party late because of traffic and we have a 4-day long vacation.  But my reminders paid off, they came minutes before the party time and the kids enjoyed the games, even the oldies participated.

Nate’s birthday cake was a stand out and everyone enjoyed the cup cakes and candies and Nate loves all the gifts. Thank God for making Nate’s celebration a success, I wish You continue blessing him with good health and happy years ahead. 

Few days more and Nathan will turn one year old. We've been preparing his party for weeks now and I hope everything will turn out right. It will be an angry bird’s party and it will spell F-U-N! I’m also thinking of long vacation next week because of All Saints and Souls Day and just imagining a long day with my family makes me dream that every week should have a legal holiday (ha-ha!) it will be great and wonderful, right?

I still have few more things to buy so my hubby can settle to our games prizes and souvenirs because he believes that the more the merrier. So to pacify him and just to move on with other important things to do, I will go back to shop with angry birds items.

But above all, hubby and I are so excited for Nate’s big day. Looking at him today, I never thought he’s grown up now and we can always play with him, go out in the mall with him, buy things for him and everything about him. I told hubby I want to go to places with Nathan and appreciate all the good things we can give him while we can. God is good all the times.

Looking at Nathan now, I thank God that He let my son recovered quickly from the deadly Dengue and pneumonia disease. We have no idea how Nathan was able to get that but one thing I know, we are not safe from the disease carrying mosquito wherever we are. So we need to be very cautious in cleaning our environment and our home and don’t let any flying insects bite your precious child ever again.

Nathan still needs to continuously take his antibiotic for his pneumonia for the next five days and twice a day. After a week, a follow up check up is necessary before he gets his clean bill of health. I don’t want to go on that stressful stage again. My sister can’t even take Nathan’s crying when the doctors were having a hard time putting his IV fluid and she just run away from the room and asked a friend to talk to her on the phone or else she might have a heart attack. The pain and cries of Nathan every time they need to get a blood sample for CBC and platelets count were unbearable. I just wish I can lessen the pain and be the one to take it just to spare him from that dilemma.

But above all, I am so grateful to have my family and close friends beside us during that time. I couldn’t ask for more. I just wish our baby Nathan will never have to be in that situation again.

We are all worried when Nathan suddenly had a fever again. He was just so active a day before but when he slept last night, he cried and he seems having difficulty in breathing. I found out he has runny nose and it irritates him a lot. Good thing I have this nose pump I bought months ago and it helps keeping the mucus out from his nose. He sleeps between me and hubby and I was shocked when I wake up to feed him his milk and found out that he’s hot. And I almost cried when I checked that he has fever again. Oh, no!

It seems persistent till now and I already gave a heads up to my supervisor that I may not able to come to the office because I will have Nathan check by his Paediatrician tomorrow. We can’t just ignore those symptoms now that we should be all alert because of the bad weather these days. I am so thankful to God that he still kind of alert and he drinks a lot of water and he really wanted to eat but his bitter taste buds rejected the solid food. I pray that he will get well soon. We are so heartbroken hearing his cries and he seems in pain but we will go to the doctor and we will see our baby jumping and dancing and laughing again. Please help us to pray for my son’s speedy recovery. Thanks!
