Influenza

Bryan's caught his first time flue since few days ago, he's sneezing lots and his nose block, actually when he's down for fever, his doctor already said that he's show a symptom of influenza since his throat has infection and fever,so the doctor already gave me preventive medicine just in case that it turns out to be influenza.

luckly that his appetite still good, he's also sitll very active little boy,he's sleep well and longer for his recovery, no wailing or crying in the middle of the night even his nose block. :)

Finding the nanny

We're back from holiday last sunday and found out that our nanny is not coming back again to work with us, so I've decided to sleep over in my mom house for few days and it happens that searching for a new nanny it's not so easy like it looks like, I've called almost 50 governess and nanny agent since last monday and all of them said out of stock and told me to wait few days! gosh! I've decided not to hire a experience nanny since I'll only need her around to look after Bryan while I'm taking bath or cooking and doing the laundry and cleaning.

so..when i think I'll wait for next week for start looking again, one of agent call me, she said that there's stock for nanny but she's still don't have experience at all since she just came to Jakarta for 2 weeks and just finish 1 week first education as nanny, VIOLA! that's exactly what I'm looking for! the best part is.. her basic salary is also come in good price, half price from my former nanny! and they can drop her to my house so i don't need to pick her up in agent, if i think she's fulfill my criteria after interview, she can directly working and if i think she's can't, i just need to pay the transport fee!

and it appears that she's fulfill my first criteria, she want to help around with house cleaning (most experince nanny don't want to do houseworking and only want to take care baby), she don't have handphone (which is good otherwise she'll busy like bee just like my former one) and still very innocent since it's her first time to jakarta ;)

Recovery times

my sis-in law (naomi mom) and me during our mask days, we're both down for flue :(

playing domino ;)

since bryan and I still in recovery, we're not going anywhere for few days meanwhile my sis in law also got infected with flue so we're all stay at home, resting and playing domino! well,bryan is grounded from going anywhere since he's got fever so sometimes while he's taking nap, jaya is look after him while I sneak out for craving food at tiong bahru market ;)

Bryan many strollers

Bryan's prepare to take nap during our trip to ikea

Bryan's @ MRT..sleeping ;)

Bryan's usual stroller

I've bring bryan usual stroller but since it only have 1 position, it makes him hard to sleep in comfort way.. so mostly I should put him to sling when it comes to nap but apparently my ta-ku is lend me her maclaren stroller and her friend also lend another stroller too so, I have 3 stoller and 2 baby (oh, i forgot to mention that naomi,bryan 6 month older cousin also come along for holiday) so mostly naomi use the first stroller in picture but when we're planning travelling with taxi I'll bring my usual stroller since it's easier to fold,so when naomi isn't sleep bryan will take over the stroller to take nap while naomi is using bryan's but it only hapend few times and for the rest..i'm using mclaren stroller, bryan can easily sleep in this stroller and it make me easier since i dont have to hold him in sling ;)

so far, my holiday is great... bryan is being a good boy! it's really beyond my expectation, he's totally in good mood, no wailing or crying, I just put him on stroller and only hold him for a while in sling when he's bored, and when we're travel alone (just me and bryan) he seem to understand when i said "we're going now, but be a good boy, don't ask mommy to hold you, mommy hands kind of busy pushing stroller while you in my sling" and he'll go straight sleep and only wake up when we're almost home, even when he's down for fever, he still can laughing and smiling, he's only not sleep well and wake up few times but get back sleep easily on the night when his temperature reach 39.5 degree.

First time fever

I've got flue and cough last sunday, jaya is already down for cough since 2 days after we're arrived and apparently I've got infection too, the worst part.. bryan is got fever two days ago his temperature is 38.2 in the morning, I'm already give him tempra drop which i bring from jakarta but he still warm, so after 2 times give him tempra and no result of getting better, I try naomi medicine, her doctor gave it when she's having high fever and lucky that her mother bring it (bryan and naomi have same pediatrician) I hardly can't sleep since i'm too busy checking on his temprature every hour and also bryan woke up few times, feeling unwell.. so i must comfort him by tap his body and put his pacifier cause everytime it's felt down he'll awake and search for it,around 3.00 am his temprature up to 39.5 degree, I gave him medicine once more and thanks God, he's temprature back to normal in the morning. but it don't last...in the afternoon he's temperature raise again to 38.5 degree, so i've decided to bring him to doctor at tiong bahru children clinic below tiong bahru plaza.

Dr. Edmund koh, the pediatrician told me that bryan is having sore throat infection (maybe he's infected by me) and the temprature is 38.6 so, he's give bryan capsul in his buttock (yeah, that capsul go inside bryan's butt) he said that if bryan temprature is higher than 38.5 degree then i must give him again that capsul, so i told bryan to fight the infection since i don't want to give it anymore, he also give one antibiotic and few medicine just in case bryan have a nose block or flue. Thanks God, the medicine works very well on Bryan, soon after he's back from doctor his temprature is 37.4 degree and never up again. but, amazingly.. he's still in good mood, still can laugh and smile like nothing happend, he's still easy to take nap, still have a good appetite, still very active boy. Praise Lord for his amazing grace.
