Renee's not drinking enough water and with the weather these days, it's just a matter of time she succumbs to being ill and now she is...coughing with lotsa phelgm.
The thing is, Rachel has got it from jie jie too! and poor baby is also heaty - mommy's fault for eating >30 big bars of macadamia nut chocolate...(have to control my choco eating and drink lotsa water from now on, for baby's sake!)
Renee's cough worsened when she came into our room in the early morning, citing a nightmare and so we brought both of them to the chinese physician.
The 1st time I gave Rachel her medicine, she had thought that I was giving her gripe water and was very happy. But she got a taste shock at the 1st swallow and started to spit the rest out. That's when I started to hold her cheeks to try let her swallow it but she resorted to blowing the medicine out, caught unaware of this stunt from such a young baby, my eyes suffered! Naughty girl! Jie jie was told to video meimei taking her 1st dose of chinese medicine but she didn't manage to capture the whole episode 'cos like papa, she didn't know how to operate the camera properly but luckily, she managed to capture the last part - where meimei blew out the medicine and papa had a good laugh last night when he watched the video.
The 2nd dose was given to her at late night(around 11pm) and this time round, she didn't wait for the last bit and blew out the medicine straight away, just like this morning...
Her body has breakout of heat rash now, due to the 'heat purging' effect of the chinese medicine(come to think of it, I rem Renee's body broke out in same rashes too, when she was recovering from a high fever once and the western doc told us it's norm). Hopefully the rashes would be gone soon and they can both sleep better from now on. In fact, jie jie has slept sooo well last night that she's late for school today!(but Qiuqiu still wants to play, :P) hahaha
