Long term nursing care for my little Miki

My Miki was limping (left leg) on thursday Morning and 1st thing I did was to ask Ah bei if he had beaten Miki and cause the injury......

Ah bei said: "Siao ah, I beat her for what... i will only beat ur stupid snowball....."

By night she couldnt move much but still able to eat and pee by herself.... I was so worried as she is already close to 10years old oredy....

The next morning which was a public holiday(Vesak Day), Miki was completely lying on the floor not moving and she had pee all over her.....

The only Vet which was open is only at Mount Pleasant!!!! I never like going to Mount Pleasant.... the Vet there is always very heartless! They will always recommend to put dogs to sleep and nothing else! I still remember few years back when snowball had his tail snapped off from a closing door and was bleeding very badly.... the vet at mt pleasant actually commended that snowball shld be put to sleep if his wound dun heal!!!!! He must be MAD! cos snowball is young and strong and still ALIVE now!

Had no choice but went to Mount Pleasant but was totally a different experience... Miki met gentle Dr Dennis Choi Kang (shld be a taiwanese).... he was gentle on Miki and super caring too...

DIAGNOSE: MIKI HAS A STROKE ATTACKED AND NEED LONG TERM NURSING CARE :(

28 May 2010

Day 1: She was still eating her normal solid biscuit and drinking water by herself... still able to poo and pee but refuse to wear diaper... completely no strength to stand up... I wash her up and blow dry her coat... Miki seems extermely upset with herself...

Day 2: She refuse to bite any of the biscuit and only wants stringe feed with water... soften her biscuit and hand feed her.... still able to poo and pee but refuse to wear diaper... by night fall she was able to lift her own body up but couldnt stand longer than 1 min....

Day 3: Miki refuse soften biscuit and I could only feed her milk.... honey and water.... Miki again pee on her own body again... I went closer to her and gave her a pat and told her is ok and she will recover soon...

Day 4: (Is a Monday, I had to go to work....) woke up super early today just to feed Miki Medicine and milk just before leaving for work... and hopefully her diaper wont fall off again before I am back.... by 7pm she shld be so so hungry...

hope that Miki will recover SOON......

Lucas on Solid - Meat

Yes, my melon started his 1st meal (FISH) yesterday at Ah ma's house! Ah Ma prepare "gor hee" fish porriage for Lucas....
At first I was... Huh? He is only 6mths plus leh... why start fish so soon? But anyhow, Lucas started eating and he really loves fish... he glup down the whole bowl of fish porriage!

Andy's mum like to feed Lucas with things I dun think he shld start so soon.... I feel that is difficult communicating to Andy mum things I dun want Lucas to eat or drink or do....

Classic example:

• when I use to breastfeed Lucas she will tell me is ok to feed FM and also give lotsa water.... I can never convince Ah ma that with breastmilk no water is needed! Haiz.....

haiz... yet still with a thankful heart

My Little Melon is growing!

Days went by so so fast..... I was pregnant! Seems like this was only yday that Lucas was still inside me! Lucas is already 6 months and 9days old!

During Lucas's baby shower (Huijun my fren was carrying him)

This was 7 weeks at Dr Lim clinic, mummy needs to remove her stitch.... and I was so scared! Ask me again during that period I wont want a 2nd pregnancy! C-section was way too much suffering for me to bear!

This was Lucas's 9weeks and mummy me had a hard time handling Lucas by herself surviving on the 2nd week(aunty heng, my best confinement aunty went home)...

Question that went thru my mind:

1) y do babies cry so much?

2)Lucas can u tell mummy what u want and stop crying?

3) Why are u awake again? I tot u just had ur milk awhile ago?

4) Why do I have to suffer so much?

5) is breastfeeding so impt? (feel so abuse and used)

6) Why cant u suckle properly Lucas?

7) I need to sleep, can u pls just fall asleep soon?

8) pls grow up fast!

9) extremely frustrated with small little things....

10) my wrist is still in pain ever since Lucas is born! (and I wonder why)

Above all.... I am so blessed with a SUPER DUPER GREAT HUBBY "Ah Bei"

1) Daddy never failed (hmm... not true, once in awhile too tired)to wake up to feed U at night...

2) daddy love to wash up Lucas

3) daddy teach me how to clean up ur titi... (cos i dun hv those dangling balls... whahaha)

4) daddy knows how to change diaper very well

5) daddy can make Lucas sleep at night (better than mummy i must say)

6) daddy can bottle feed Lucas better than mummy too!!!! (even till now)....

7) daddy can really "tahan" mummy's sudden change of temper! (I remember I kept crying becos I am extremely stressed up and tired and my milk supply was super LOW...)

Lucas @ week 10... he smiles more often and has his little temper.... trying to flip but not successful....

We just started to understand and enjoy having Lucas ard.... now we fully understand... what is Parenthood is!!!!!

Lucas @ week 11 (was few days before CNY)...

Haha... bei says: Heng ah, we have Lucas to collect back some Angbao... not like last year give n give no returns.... Hahaha...

Mummy says: Lucas smile more okie, then people will give u more angbao... hahaha

Lucas @ 12weeks.... bought a CNY romper for Lucas at last minute shopping on the eve... guess Lucas can wear this for this year only....

Mummy is going back work right after CNY and have to put u to Aunty Nanny soon....

*Boo hoo hoo*, mummy cried so badly on the 1st day when u are at nanny's place!

And mummy started working and didnt hv much chance to take picture of Lucas growing up.... at times I wish I was a SAHM....

Lucas got himself another Godpapa, Godmama and Godgrandmama and papa... that's Quekpa, Quekma and Ah quek's mum love Lucas so much....

Quek Papa says: Must get lucas a hat.... this hat was Shernise hat and we borrowed it from her for 1 day while mummy went out to look for a more manly hat....

Quekpapa offer to look after U on one Sat evening so that mummy and daddy can
go partok and watch one movie! It was a good break but we miss Lucas so much.... wonder how many sms i have sent Quek n pea.... very nice of them :)

Quek's mum even cut hair for lucas and bath him before we pick him back :)

Mummy says: Lucas, when u grow up must remember Quekpapa, mama and Quek Ah Ma ya :)

Till date, I enjoy motherhood and I am so so in love with Lucas and of cos My Ah Bei!
