Get Well Soon, Darling





Jaimie hasn't been well for the past month. Her cough came on and off with lots of phlegm. We had brought her to see both the chinese physician and the GP but it seems like the hot and wet weather is not helping with the recovery.

Last night just after dinner, she was very cheerful, active and cooperative. We thought it was a good sign of her recovering because shewas a cranky princess lately.Then, she developed a high fever suddenly and was crying very badly. I gave her some medication for the fever and she fell asleep in her tears.

My mom brought her to see the GP again this morning and the GP found 7-8 ulcers in her upper jaws. The GP suspected it might be HFMD but there was no spots on her limbs. So we'll continue to monitor her. It could be due to heatiness that the ulcers developed.

In the evening, when Jaimie was flipping through her books in the study room while Clement and I were surfing net, I turned my head around and saw a small puddle of blood on the floor. We thought she scratched her mosquito bite wounds till it bled so bad but I could not find any open wound. I cleaned up the mess and continued to do my own things. A while later, I saw blood dripping out of Jaimie's left nostril! So she was having a nose bleed!!! Her first nose bleed!!

I was a little relieved when I saw the nose bleed, actually. That could mean that the ulcers were developed due to over heatiness in the body and not HFMD. Nonetheless, we'll continue to monitor her closely.

Jaimie darling, get well soon. All I want for you is good health and happiness.

hi Angie,

The weather has been very crazy lately and children fall sick easily.

Water is a must and if time permit - boil some barley water..i always believe drinking cooling water help to reduce bidy heatiness. If got "ling liang" , better still.

Hope Jae recover well soon.

Or try cooking some LoHanGuo with chrysathamans. If Jae dare to drink herbal tea, better still go to those chinese medical shops and buy those pre-packed herbal tea herbs n boil yrself.. My mum will boil this herbal tea for us once a week lately due to the bad weather...

Do take care...
