Zarif has been sick since Monday. It started as fever and headache and now nausea and not able to eat. MrM brought him to the panel clinic again today and nothing additional was prescribed but to continue with the medicine that was prescribed Monday.
Baby Harith bilirubin levels have come down below the threshold and was discharged at about 7pm today. He will need to have his blood taken again on Thursday and thank God for Dr Bee in Seremban. He was Aliah's paeds many, many years ago and was surprised to see me with a baby. He is such a gentle doctor and his demeanor is comforting to a parent with a sick child as well as the child.
I slept this afternoon after visiting Harith at the hospital and the urut session in the morning. That was the final session before another one at 40 days thereabouts. That was a very good nap, even though I was sleeping on the wing chair. Aliah went for her swimming class at the Sports Complex and she appears to me very confident, albeit darker, since she took up swimming again. The only thing about her is telling her to check her schoolwork has become a constant nag and she keeps saying "tak ada homework Ma....". At this point I have not gone into checking her books one by one though I think a lot of parents, working or not (mothers who do not work will argue that what they do at home is also work), do check their kids books and for any circulars or memos from school. When I come back home from work, I am just too beat to be checking on schoolbooks and more so getting angry with them for incomplete school work, sloppy handwriting or just plain do not know what needs to be done.
Anyway......
Baby Harith is asleep now after three consequent breast feeds...Dr Bee just called to inform MrM that Harith has breastmilk jaundice and needs to be monitored in the next couple of days. I am not to eat jamu or too much ginger as this apparently contributes to the recurring of the jaundice. And to drink a lot of water. All the things that my mother would not allow me to do like for instance drink too much water.
Zarif vomitted on my bed just now and MrM probably will bring him to the hospital tonight to treat his nausea and headache.
It has been a long day....
