One month on....

Dylan is now 5 weeks old. On the 23rd of April, when he turned 1 month, the whole household was struck by a deadly flu virus which had first affected mei K the day before, then baby D, mummy, MIL, and the helper! It was the worse infection I've had in a long while, and was just flat on my back with a fever for the whole day! I even lost my voice completely. Poor baby D was gurgling, coughing... I felt so pained for such a young baby to be sick... so we tripped off to the PD. While he has grown a whole 4 cm in the last one month, he is now also 4.26kg. wow... think that's the biggest increase any of the kids have had in the first month. So he now looks like a solid fella.

Anyway while everyone is now recovering, jie K, who was recovering from her bout just a month before, has gotten worse, and is today recovering at home as she too woke up with a fever. sigh... 

Praying this will all end soon.

Last week, I had the biggest scare since becoming a mother. In the middle of the night, I heard D coughing, and he suddenly unleashed the loudest, most terrifying screech I've ever heard. I rushed to look at him, and found him struggling to breathe! I picked him up, and had to thump him on his back a few times before he was able to recover normal breathing. He was a little shaken, and it took a while for him to settle down... phew... What would I do if anything serious had happened to him? That night, I prayed for baby D, and for the girls... something that I have not been doing, and really taken for granted... This is probably a timely reminder that these children have been entrusted into my care, I really need the Lord's anointing to bring them up, His protection to keep them safe and healthy, and not to forget the power of prayer...
