Renee had complained on/off about her tummyache for the past week but as they were mild(relief after passing motion) and happened in a break of days, I hadn't thought it might be anything serious.
Last night, she woke up at past 12am pouting and complained of a tummyache again. It seemed to hurt more this time 'cos I can feel her breaking out in cold sweat...
We hvn't got any children's anti-tummyache medication at home and remembering the 'stomach/gastric/intestinal' chinese medicine I've got for myself(hubby took it during the past few days he was suffering from stomach discomfort the last week and was well thereafter too), I mixed a little bit(abit lesser than what's indicated for children age 2-12) for her. Was hesitant at first but since this is a powder-mix medicine prescribed by the renowned chinese physician(who's the director of the Chinese Chong Hwa Free Clinic and whose practice is registered with the Singapore Chinese Physician's Association - which required their prescription to be submitted for approval)to be sold on retail shelf, we felt it's ok.
After some 'fighting' moments in her tummy, she said she needed to pass motion and although the pain didn't subside straight away(it's afterall not a miracle elixir, hahaha), she did manage to fall asleep half an hour later - she did wake up in 'shock' 15mins later though, when she realised that I've left her 'bed', hahaha and woke up shortly again, asking for me to sleep beside her(manja lah...) and then, at 3am+, she woke up again and asked for water... :). I took the opportunity and told her that I wanna go back to sleep on my bed, she said ok and resumed her sleep til this morning, :). Needless to say, it's no school for her today...
Her violin teacher has phoned to say that she can't make it for today's lesson and so, I decided to go for my hair straightening and finish up the balance of my package(they're opening up another branch at the new Serangoon Mall and my h/stylist who's also the director of the new branch, is going to be there most of time. As I'm not sure if it's really near to Renee's school, so to play safe, I think I should try finish up the pkg before the new branch opens. Besides, I could go to my niece's newly set up salon for my subsequent hair treatment dos!). Hubby took the car and so, we took the LRT down and oh my, we were both soaking in perspiration by the time we reached the station, even though the wind was rather good. Can't imagine hving to bring her to more classes without the car(and yet, hated the idea of hving to worry about routes, dilemma dilemma), arrrggghhhh...
No school again tomorrow, why? 'Cos hubby's got a golf tournament again early morning and I don't want Renee to wake up even earlier than the usual 7am, just to take the trains to school, so just let her skip school again...
