On Her Way...

Firstly, thanks for all your love, wishes and prayers. Ching Ern is on her way of recovery. She has yet to gain back her appetite but slowly taking her milk back. We have been asked by PD to give her 'porridge water' and diluted milk.

To be on a safer side, I gave her lactose free milk and even dilute it. So, she is typically drinking water with some milk flavour. I was glad to see she can finished 1 small bowl of 'porridge water' during lunch. In fact, she asked for more but I dare not give more, worried that she may vomit again.

Since morning, she only farted once and that's a good sign on her stomach - lesser wind. She is still weak and walked wobbly, just like when she first started to walk. Just less than 10 steps, she would want us to carry her and she would lie down her head on our shoulder.

She has slimmed down a lot, she is so much lighter when I carry her. Also, when we lifted her up from her armpit, you can typically touch the bone instead of the fat. :-(

We wanted her to gain back the fat but I kept remind myself not to be so anxious. Ern needs time to recover and re-energize. So, we have to do things one at a time.

Just yesterday afternoon, Ern napped for 2 1/2 hours, the longest nap she had ever take since birth. So, you can tell how weak and tired she was.

While typing this post, Ern is taking her 3rd nap of the day. Poor girl, I hope more rest will gain her energy back.

The Gastroenteritis really hit Ching Ern badly. She had never been that weak before, even when she had dengue.

Get well soon, Princess.
