I'm supposed to start work from Monday onwards but it hasn't been easy for us this entire week.
Monday :
Yuheng caught a flu over the weekend. I stayed together with him until 10.30am before leaving my parent's place for work.
Tuesday :
Yuheng's cough did not get better, hubby brought him to the usual PD in the morning. One of the PD was on leave and there were so many patients in the queue. By the time they collected medicine, it was past noon. Hubby took leave and they went back home instead and came over in the evening to pick up Yuzhe. My mum suggested to leave Yuzhe at their place while we bring Yuheng back.
Wednesday :
My turn to take child MC to take care of Yuheng at home. He's super cranky and whiny after taking that cough medicine which will cause drowiness. I stopped that medicine and change to his usual Rhiniramine for allergy. Hubby came back in late afternoon after learning of Yuheng's crankiness. He got a bit better in the evening. Called up my mum to tell her we going over to pick up Yuzhe. She wanted us to take care of Yuheng well first and Yuzhe will stay another night over there.
Thursday :
Yuheng looks well enough to attend class. Hubby fetched him back from school and feed him his favourite fishball noodles at my parent's place. Yuzhe did not finish his milk during the night feed, and we thought he'd too much during the day.
Friday :
Yuheng supposed to go for school excursion to the Zoo with hubby, but after my mum's constant nagging, we drew him out from the trip. I received MSN from my brother around 12.15pm that my mum is having problem taking care the 2 of them. Yuheng is getting cranky again, insisting my mum to do everything for him, forbiding her to feed Yuzhe. I was required to go back home ASAP. And so, I immediately pack up my stuff, took hubby's car and zoomed back home. By the time I reached home, Yuheng was sound asleep. I noticed Yuzhe having some sneezing and coughing too. Most probably, he must have caught the flu virus from Yuheng.
Saturday :
Yuzhe was coughing more than the day before. He's having a blocked nose also and affected his appetite. He was drinking lesser milk and got irritated when he can't breathe properly. We'll monitor his situation to see if there's a need to visit the PD.
Sunday :
Hubby brought Yuzhe over to the PD for a checkup in the morning. As suspected, he'd caught the flu virus too and had swollen tonsils and a bad blocked nose. He was given treatment to remove the mucus from his nose. Was given some medicine and nose spray to administer on Yuzhe. Hubby bought a nose syringe as well to blow out the mucus, in case it's blocking the breathing passage.
Hubby will be claiming his Vesak day off tommorrow to take care of the 2 boys.
I haven't accomplish much work for the past 1 week due to such unforseenable events. However, I'm fortunate that I have a very understanding boss who is willing to let me continue whatever's undone from home, and to leave early if need to. Best of all, I know I have a very supporting hubby who not only have to worry about his work matters, but also spend a lot of time on the 2 kids, irregardless of how tired and sleepy he is. I believe we would be able to cope through this difficult period. Hopefully .......
