Off to the doc we went

We went to the doc yesterday, the 4th time in less than 2months. The first was in early Mar for a super runny nose and cough. The second time was to get anti-biotic as he didn't get any better. Then the third time was to get steroid cream for the rashes on his buttocks (the anti-biotic gave him the runs, and it resulted in rashes. Yes, I've learnt we need to wash his buttocks rather than just use wet wipes).

As MIL felt that the he was so weak from all the meds, we didn't finish two days' worth of anti-biotic. But doc said that the virus developed an immunity towards the AB and as a result, he's sick again after two weeks. This time, he gave Jon anther AB, more bitter too. Urgh! We resolve to finish this course of AB, then help him get better by giving him nutritious soup made by grandma!The doc giving him a thorough check-up. You would notice a pen in his hands. Other kids will carry a blankie or a bolster, or suck on a pacifier. But all Jon wants is a pen, any pen.

Happy after visiting the doc, on the way home.Then he decided to check out the small little pimples on his leg. Apparently, they developed coz he was running all over the house and perspired. He dug out some papers from my bag. They were some SSF projects and layouts that I printed out for inspiration. I think he loves pens, and papers like me!

It's always worries when lil ones fall ill, and i hope Jon will feel better very very soon. It doesn't help that the current weather is terribly, i'm not sure how it is in Miri, but here, it's just so stuffy.

You too take care of yourself Kim. Jon has his pen, and Kaylen has his smelly teddy pillow...

enjoy your weekend.
