Recovered
We really thank God that Isaac has recovered from the fever and tummy ache. Last night, after taking the Chinese medicine, he pooed-pooed out some really smelly and watery stuff. (excuse me if you are eating) After that, his fever went down and has not come back up till now. Although he sometimes still said that his tummy felt a little discomfort but it’s not very often and now he is like back to his old self oredi. He is running around and playing with his toys instead of lying on the sofa the whole day. What a tremendous change the Chinese medicine made and we are really grateful for it.
Although last night we didn’t really get any sleep and are really tired now, we are very happy that he has finally recovered from this ordeal and hope it won’t have any relapse. We are still monitoring him and boiled some ‘lin yong saei kok’ to relieve any heatiness left in him. We thank you for everybody’s concern and this has taught us to be more patient and to rely on God.
Now we can really get some quality sleep

High Fever
Today is the third day since Isaac’s fever started and it has not subsided yet. It all started very early on Tuesday, around 2.30 am. We were sleeping soundly when we discovered that he’s having a fever so as usual, we gave him paracetamol and continued sleeping and thought nothing of it.
On the same Tuesday, we brought him to the doctor and were prescribed with the same medicine and you guessed it right, paracetamol again. On this day he started complaining of stomach ache and vomited at Sunway Hospital. Doctor said to monitor his fever and it will go away in about 2-3 days time.
On Wednesday, after seeing that he has not recover one bit and his stomach ache got worst, we went to another doctor for a 2nd opinion and this time the doctor said that he has bacteria infection in his small intestines and this causes his gut to cramp every time food or water is taken. He advised us not to give him milk and to monitor his fever. Oh and he prescribed paracetamol, something for vomiting and some supplements.
We went back thinking that this will help him to recover but boy we were wrong. His condition turned worst on Thursday and his fever is still around the 38 ‘C. We decided to wait and see how his condition will turn the next day and we were given the answer that same night. He tossed and turn the whole night saying that his stomach hurts and the fever continued. All of us did not get much sleep and we decided to take him back to Sunway Hospital the very next morning.
This morning on Friday, the doctor in Sunway said that he has wind in his tummy and was not stomach ulcer or intestine twisted like we suspected so he gave us paracetamol and wind medicine. After taking this new medicine, Isaac was complaining of stomach ache even more and his highest temperature recorded was 39.9’C and that got us very, very worried. We called the doctor again for advice and he said that this has been prolonged for too long and told us to admit him to Sunway Hospital. We were reluctant at first but we can’t stand to see our son suffer anymore.
At that moment Karen told us to see a Chinese physician that can cure ‘G mou tan’ and we were desperate to try anything other than to admit him. So off we go to see this lady and she rub some Chinese medicine all over his body and this made him a little better. We were to give him some whitish powder every 3 ½ hours. His fever went down to around 37’C although he was not given any paracetamol and there were less complaining of tummy ache. Well it seems like this is working and let’s not celebrate too soon and keep our fingers crossed.

Handsome or not? This was what Isaac wore as a paige boy for his 'Khau Foo Chai's' wedding recently.
Plenty of girls were 'killed' by his handsomeness during the wedding and an ambulance have to be called in to carry them to the hospital. He told the reporters that he was terribly sorry and regrettable for all that had happened and added that there is nothing that he could have done. He told all the girls to forget about him and not to wait, for they were not his type.
After that minor incident, the wedding went on as planned and he walked up the aisle side by side with his flower girl. All the attention were on them and momentarily the guest forgot about the bride and groom but the spotlights came back to them after realizing that the wedding couple were missing. There were oohhhs and aahhhs when both the paige boy and flower girl threw flower petals on the floor. All in all, he was paid 'handsomely' for his short stint at the wedding.
Unfortunately after saying all this, there were no photos to prove all this because cameras were banned for security reasons. So you have to believe me, would I lie to you? ;)
Happy Father's Day to all dads and dad to-be-again(Kum).
After such a long wait, we finally have the chance to meet up again and it was like a reunion of some sort at McD. We proudly and aggresively took over 5 tables like we own the place. The staff of the place might be saying, "Alamak! here they come again".
Uncle Wai started off by proudly showing off, er, I mean, showing us his Father's Day card made by Ee Jun's CEC Kindergarten which he hanged around his neck. By the way, the card was also sponsored by Esquire Kitchen because it has a sticker on it.(you know, the Valley of Ugly People according to Uncle Nic)
During the reunion, there were people saying like "Wah! so big oredi" and "Aiyo! what have you been feeding him?". It was only like a few weeks that we have not seen each other but the changes of the kids were incredible. The older kids were obviously glad to see each other and they played their hearts out. The younger ones were pampered and passed around among us, the parents. They are waiting for their turn to join in the fun and to create future chaos.
Fei Low is celebrating his first Father's Day and Nic is enjoying his first from his newborn son so this year is considered to be special. Today's outing is a casual one but next week's is forcasted to be a more formal, noisy and expensive one.
