doctor's visit

took asyraf & ariff to visit their pead for their monthly jabs today. asyraf was due to get his mmr (measles, mumps & rubella) shot. i thought that he'd get his final pneumococcal jab as well but the doctor said that will be next month.

what we thought was a normal immunisation visit turned out to be one of asyraf's "normal" nebuliser visit. he got 2 doses in fact as the doctor said his breathing was very loud and phlegmy. he wanted us to continue giving asyraf his nasal spray before he starts wheezing.

hmm...i was surprised actually. when we think there's something wrong with him, the doctor always reply with "ni tak dak apa-apa ni..." but when we think he's well and fine, he's not.

i was actually more afraid the doctor will ask what we have been feeding him as he was a bit blotchy the past couple of days. i've been giving him various food to see what he can take and what he cant. i've also been monitoring his doo doo to see whether he has adverse reaction to the food. so far, he's ok with corn flakes, full cream milk, biscuits and honey stars cereal.

after his jab, hubby took asyraf out to the nebuliser machine. i could hear him crying and screaming from inside. as soon as i left the office, i prepared a bottle of milk for asyraf, afraid he'd be thirsty after using the machine. the doctor prescribed him with a couple of medicines to clear his phlegm and cough.














other than the time he was using the machine, asyraf was very active at the hospital. he tawaf-ed the lounge area thousands of time with amir and wanted to walk around the pharmacy area. all the walking around and the crying out loud made him tired and he slept the whole journey home.

current weight - 9.2kg (hmm...i thought he was heavier than that, actually)
