Another Episode of " Believe It Or Not"!!!

Heads-up: The below post touches on 'spiritual' topic. If you are uncomfortable, please do not read on.


We brought Ern for another round of “beach + swimming” after she had so much fun on the first trip.

Before we left the house, she was a bit cranky when I tried to change her into her swim suit. Don’t know what reason but she cried for a while. Only when we gave her the “dig dig” (beach tool set), she settled down and happily told us “Bit*ch” (beach).

When we arrived at the beach, she hugged me a little tight. I think she has fear over the wave sound. After a while, she got diverted from the fear but focus on the ‘dig dig” & sand. I went for my swim and once done, I brought her into the pool for a dip too. She was as happy as few days ago.

Everything ok until the next day (Sunday) when we started to realize her body was warm. Checked and it was already at 37.8 degrees. Feed PCM and started our “round the clock” temperature check. Between 2-6am, she waked up crying, wanted us to carry her, cranky and only got back to sleep after we rocked her to sleep. It repeated for at least 2-3 times on that night.

During day time, she was ok and active like normal although her body temperature was like roller-coaster. We continue to feed PCM. Night time, she repeated the routine of “cry + carry + cranky + sleep” between 2-6am for few times. It started from Monday and the whole drama continued until Friday morning before hubby discovered something unusual on Ern.

- Why only 2-6am?
- Why she cried in fear for consecutive nights already?

The trigger point was when Ern rejected the holly water and wanted to get out from our room! She cried for MIL and told MIL she wanted to watch TV!! It took MIL almost 2+ hours to put Ern back to sleep after the “cartoon + play” sessions.

On Friday evening, we brought her to see the Burmese monk, the same monk I have seen since pregnant! When we were at the temple, nothing unusual happened but she didn’t want to pay homage to the Buddha. Luckily when she saw the monk, she automatically kneel down and pay 3 times homepage to him!

I told the monk briefly what had happened, the monk started the blessing session for all of us. He even requested us to take down the rubber band that we tie on Ern’s hair so that he can blessed on it too. We can really see the difference “before and after” blessing on Ern. Can you imagine half way through the praying session, Ern was happily singing and walking in joy at the hall!!! You can tell she was so happy and relieve. So as we!!!!

No comment given by the monk, which is a good sign. We are affaid to hear another "her eyes are clear now!". I also seek advise from the monk, as in what can I do to minimize all ‘these unnecessary” on Ern. His advise is to give Ern some holly water before we leave the house and bring along the bottle (not necessary) if feel needed. The monk also taught me what verse to chant to ‘avoid’ all these. The other option is to tie the ‘blessed rubber band’ on Ern.

Phew…although this isn’t as bad as the last one, it is enough to worry us….looks like Ern is “sensitive” child and something I need to be careful off. :-(

wow, this is scary. Sometimes we have to believe there is "something" out there. Some people said let the kid wear the coconut shell hand band will help to keep them away from the "something"

I don't have this experience before but whenever I hear other kids having the "unusual" encounters, I will still be worried. Glad to know that Ching Ern doesn't have it.
