The result of the x-ray and blood test done on the babe showed chest infection due to allergy and prolonged cough. She has to take anti-biotic (the strong one that has caused her gastric pains the other night) for seven days. That is so bad news to me because I am afraid she’ll not be able to sleep because of abdominal pain again and that would automatically mean I wouldn’t be able to sleep the whole night too. Thankfully, it seems that drinking yoghurt drink or eating yoghurt before taking the medicine worked wonders. She didn’t have any tummy pain and I was able to get a good night sleep to be ready for work the next morning.

One thing that I am also thankful is that, even if she has fever or flu, her appetite never wanes. She eats normally and even more - asking for yoghurt or peanut butter sandwiches or pancakes for snacks. She also loves eating kiwi fruit (the golden variety, yellow in color) which is loaded with Vitamin C.

She is back to her healthy state right now. I kissed her this morning while she’s sleeping and she opened her eyes and said, “Mom, you’ll be late for work!” so that means she is a-ok because when she’s sick, she’ll be clingy and sticking to my skirt the whole day.
