3 weeks flew by!

Didn't realise that 3 weeks had passed by since my last post! Perhaps it's because the past 3 weeks had been busy busy busy for me!

Min finally recovered from bronchitis. I wouldn't say it's a 100% recovery as he's still having a slight cough, but at least he's sleeping better at night and eating better. Also, I finally was able to bring him for his ENT appointment at KKH and finally confirmed that he has OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea). They did an Xray for him and dignosed him with OSA as his andenoids and tonsils are extremely large, thus blocking his airways when he lies down to sleep at night. That explains why his snoring is extremely loud when he sleeps (so much that Ee, who sleeps in the bed besides him, woke up complaining of his loud snores!), stops breathing when sleeping and wakes up feeling short of breath and is extremely tired even after a night's sleep as he's not getting quality sleep at all from all the night wakings! I signed him up for a sleep study and now we are waiting for his report to be out before deciding if we should let him go for the operation to remove his tonsils and part of his adenoids. How I wish this will end soon and he can get his quality sleep finally!

Last week was the school holidays. Hubby had to travel to India for his business trip, leaving me alone with the boys for the holidays. We had a lot of fun, and the boys enjoyed their one week break. The highlight of the week was the Disney on Ice show last Thursday, which they truly enjoyed (even as Hao commented he was too old for that, he couldn't hide his excitement and was mesmerised throughout the show). Now, it's back to school routine, and getting Hao prepared for his SA1 in 7.5weeks' time and then more doctor appointments in between....

Reaching my limits...

The past 2 weeks had been a rollercoaster 2 weeks for me at home. Just last week, Min was down with stomach virus and then just as he recovered, mum was down sick and I had to take over all the babysitting duties and over the weekend I barely had time to rest as hubby came back from his business trip and was totally flat out at home. Then Ee had a slight fever, which he recovered within a day, but then Tuesday I came down with stomach virus and it took me down flat for a day when I totally could not get out of bed and hubby had to stay home for a day to look after the kids. I barely recovered on Wed and now Min is down with bronchitis and fever...URGH!! I feel physically and mentally drained now!! My energy level is at zero, but still have to deal with the kids, deal with their homework, help out with the chores, pacify the sick ones and trying to keep up with their activities. I dread to think of this coming weekend as I foresee that we will be home all weekend trying to get Min better. I am so desperately in need of a good sleep, a good meal, and a good workout. Now I just hope and pray that Min will get better soon as the bronchitis is really getting into him bad and his fever, though mild, is not ending soon. He's coughing, choking on his mucas and feverish. He can't get a good night sleep (nor me), and is even panting when he's talking on longer sentences. The worse part is he's asking for all his favourite foods which is a NO NO for him right now. Here I am worrying about him not eating and getting hungry but yet I cannot feed him whatever he likes. I know he has no appetite but still he can only eat plain foods. Sigh...please make his viruses go away soon!!
