Heads-up: The below post touches on 'spiritual' topic. If you are uncomfortable, please do not read on.
The whole of Sunday, Ching Ern was on fluid diet and poor little fella, only consumed ~ 8oz of milk the whole day. In between we gave her water in small amount worried that she may vomit again. Everything spoon-fed as per PD advised. She didn't vomit after the last vomit at 4am.
She was cranky and crying the whole day, wanted us to carry her all the time. We knew she was hungry and tired, but she didn't seem to have the appetite to drink the milk at all. It was merely through "tricks" and "divert attention" to get her to drink the milk. She was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to walk or stand stable. She fell down whenever she tried to walk, even just 2 steps. So you can imagine how weak she was.
When we asked her "where do you want to go?" whenever she cried( Yes, she wasn't whine but cry, with big tears coming down), the answer we have been getting from her pretty consistent. She would only point at the:
1. Front door
2. Back door (from our kitchen)
3. The shoe rack where we placed her shoes/sandals
4. Window on the upper floor facing the main road
All the above 4 linked to "kai kai" (outing). The moment we brought her to anyone of these, she stopped crying and hence, we took turns to take her whenever she asked. Even when we put on her sandal and let her walk, she would find her strength to walk to the door and wait for us to bring her out.
Towards the evening, she started to cry more and getting louder. The frequency of pointing to the 'all 4' were getting more and more. It was like the moment we brought her out of these sight, she cried. The tactics of "tricks" and 'divert attention' didn't seem to work anymore! It was a very strange behavior of Ern because she has never been a 'long winded' crying baby. She can easily be calmed down whenever we hugged her and say 'sayang', like within 5 seconds type.
Ching Ern cried so badly towards the evening (8pm) until daddy and I find it extremely strange to see our girl behave so differently. We started to sense "something" is not right on Ern and we both knew she need 'spiritual help'. Without hesitant, I called my Goddad telling him we wanted to bring Ern to see the Burmish monk for help. While explaining briefly to him on Ern's condition, Ern cried out loud and this time, she struggled from her daddy, trying to get out from him.
My Goddad contacted the Burmish monk and we then told to meet at the temple at 8.30pm. The moment I told Ching Ern we are going to the temple and I need to change her, she cried loudly and non stop. Nothing can stop her from crying no matter how i coaxed. I had no choice but continued to change her in a forceful way. While doing that, more or less I can confirmed the 'evil spirit' is inside her.
When we get to the car, she quiet down and hug me tightly. As we get nearer to the temple, she started to cry again. It was getting louder and louder as we reached the temple. She stopped crying for a while when we entered into the temple but she was "staring' at her surrounding. We then proceed to the first floor to meet the Burmish monk. Ching Ern was ok while waiting outside the monk's room but the moment she saw him, she cried HYSTERICALLY.
She refused to face the monk and the Buddha statue by buried her face on my shoulder. When I moved her to the direction to let her see the monk, she moved again to the other side and "avoid" both the monk and Buddha statue. My heart sanked when I saw that because Ching Ern never did that before. All this while, she was so delighted to meet the monk and even did her 'cheng cheng' (putting both palm together) to the Buddha statue.
Ching Ern cried so loud and you can see her lost control. Big tears falling down, shouting her lung out until her mucus also came out from her nose. No one can calm her down at the moment. The monk moved us to a private room, close the door and we kneel down in front of the Buddha statue.
I think the 'evil spirit' knew what's coming next because Ching Ern really cried so badly until 'no sound' type. We can see she was struggling in pain, bending her body backward and forward in trying to seek help from us. While she did that, she kept on pointing towards the door direction, signaling to go out. Also, she was trying to get away from me in carrying her and yet, she didn't have the energy to stand on herself then.
My Goddad and hubby followed chanting together with the monk, while I was trying to calm Ching Ern down. I have never seen Ching Ern suffered so badly before, not even the suction she had gone through (to clear her mucus from her nose and throat) when she was a 6-months-old baby. At the moment, I knew the 'evil spirit' was 'reluctant' to get out from Ching Ern. It was "HIS" struggling and suffered in pain voices that came out from Ching Ern. I collapsed seeing Ching Ern suffered this way. I cried because I can tell she was suffering from the 'separation' process.
After 30 minutes of continuous chanting, Ching Ern calmed down finally. In between, she cried once and then stopped. Once the chanting session finished, Ching Ern walked up to the monk to receive the holy water. When we saw that, we knew everything was ok then. The monk assured us Ching Ern was ok because her eyes are "cleared"!!
We went to the hospital to see PD again to ensure Ching Ern wasn't in dehydration mode. PD confirmed her tummy is lesser 'windy' and she looked more active when he saw her at 4am. Ya, it was the same PD. PD gave us green light to let Ching Ern drank from the bottle but still need to on diluted milk.
My little Princess finished the 2 oz of milk less than 2 minutes time and after then, slept soundly.
Btw, there was a possession passed by our house and Ching Ern happened to witness it on the night before. That's how she 'gets' all these.....

It is quite a scary experience but I am glad to know all is coming to end finally!!!
My mom told me not to let Bryan see these types of procession..but glad to hear that she is Ok now....
Thank god she is okay now. Really couldn't believe it at first...
oh dear, sound so scary ... sorry to hear that she cry so badly ... hope she is much much more better now.
Glad to hear that Ern is better. It's so scary!!
glad to know that Ern is getting better. It sounds so scary and glad that your goddad arrange the session for you all. You must be very heart wrenching seeing Ern cry so badly.
Its scary alright, reading it gives me the goose bump as well. Whether its western or eastern, its always good to keep in mind and be watchful. I always carry a "ang kong hu" on Yan's pillow whenever I bring her out until she past 1 years old.
I thought I was the only one that believe all these. Jayden was admitted once in the hospital and was terribly sick. I was sick too. Then we went to the temple i couldn't walk at all, i basically dragged myself into the temple. Once reached the lady just turned to me and said "finally you come to see me, I was waiting for your arrival". And she told us that we didn't choose the right date to move into our house and apparently the "thing" was staying with us for 3 years and now it got angry because we didn't give "it: Anything to eat, so we did some prayers, few rounds of it. Jayden was the weakest so it attacked jayden like mad, cry in the middle of the night and keep on getting sick. Thank god everything is fine now.
To be on the safe side, never bring children to those kind of procession cos u just dunno "what" is there.
Did she have a "fu" with her? we always have one pinned to Raelynne whenever we go out of the house. this protects her.
