Kasih Ibu

It's been too long since I last update my blog.

A lot of things happened.
I experience the real meaning of mother's love.
Giving birth is not an experience one can forget, true, you have to bear with the labour pain-this is what actually completes you.
But what comes next is more than I can imagine.
Aez Matin was down with fever of 39.5 degrees. That's high and cuma Allah aje yg tahu how he felt.
It was Sat afternoon when my mil called to ask if it's normal for his head to feel hot. At first I didn't think much of it- as my baby prespire a lot and sometimes his head does feel a bit warm.
Ard 4, my in laws called to say that they brought him to G.P and he confirm Aez was down with fever. My poor baby- he's not as cheerful as usual.
The doc gave us medication to control the fever, we thought everything is fine bila he started to play and sweat it out that night. (kita pat t.p.y umah yaye).
Ard 2am, he start to merengek and we (me & hubby) felt his forehead, ya Allah.. kalau letak telur.. boleh masak..
After I tekap his whole body with wet towel- (pls use only tap water-not cold ice water o.k- if you dun wan to risk ur baby kena sawan)- the fever subside... sadly not for long..dia merengek lagi after 1 hour- this continue thru out the nite. So there goes my sleep for Sat nite.
Sun morning- he started to refuse his milk- my baby ni actually is a milk drinking machine- kalau 7 ounce tak cukup. He usually drink every 3-4 hrs. tapi on Sun, he only drank at 10a.m and 7p.m. Tak tau mcm mana perut boleh tahan. Makan pu tanak.
We went to see another G.P at Vista pt- nearer to my home- as I notice rashes appearing on his body, legs and hand. Cuak jugak seh.. ialah with the rise in the hfmd, selisih.. Ya Allah..jauhkanlah Aez dari penyakit.
I start to doa that whatever sickness yg tuhan nak berikan, I rela terima as long as it's to me- not to my son... sedih man...
Doc confirm it's because of his high temp which results in the rashes outbreak. The merengek continue tru Sun nite (burn lagi my sleep). His next susu is at 12p.m on Monday- how my heart breaks to see my son cry everytime he yawns. BTW, I was on child sick leave on both Mon & Tuesday.
Took him for a walk to the playground.. pa sana baru dia nak minum. Agaknya suasana not so stress. Maklumlah.. asyik tengok the 4 walls in the house. sekali sekala nak gujak dia minum pat bawah. Ape kita ingatkan cuma mum & dad aje yg leh lepak kedai kopi ke? Baby pun tau juga oi..
My p.i.l came ard 3 and took us to yaye house.. by then his fever has subside.
That nite, I told my hubby yg I nak rest and sleep. And my darling hubby actually took care of his son. So sweet kan. he woke up to feed him, pacify him bila dia merengek.
Tuesday.. hubby on child sick leave. We jalan jalan makan angin at bottle tree park (new one at Yishun). Power man- ada prawn fishing, playground, a big park and banyahklah lagi.. it's a nice place to chill.

By then my son dah o.k. Alhamdulillah he drinks his susu (but at longer interval of 6-7 hours apart)

This experience really opens my eyes.. How our mum sacrifice for us. Starting from giving birth, she pertarungkan nyawa for her beloved baby... woke up every 2 hours for the first few months.. keep watch macam 'bai jaga' at nite when he's sick..Cried with her baby and share all misery and happiness. (oh yah.. I almost succumb to post natal depression during the first 2 mth pasal I was all alone in taking care of him- nobody was there to assist me) Everything was just trial & error.

Sempena hari Ibu yg akan menjelang, I nak ambil kesempatan to thank my mum for taking care of me dari kecik sampai besar (nasib baik umur aje.. badan tak. Hahaha)
To anyone who manage to read my entry to this part, appreciatelah your mum. Nothing can be compared to a mother's love. Macam mana busuk pun, she will still be our only mum- nothing in the whole world can change that fact. (cuma kalau nak wangi lagi, pakailah 'Shokubutsu'- nolah just kidding)

Syurga di bawah tapak kaki ibu.....
