Happening Day!

Few weeks ago, I read about the posts on Rachel’s swollen lymph nodes along the bikini line & Jeremy’s allergic on wheat . As a mother myself, I truly understand how Shannon & Anggie felt when I read their blog back then.

Guess what, Ching Ern had BOTH together yesterday!!! Surprisingly, I wasn’t that worried as I thought I would be. I have to admit my pregnancy helped me and hubby to be strong in our parenting journey.

While daddy was changing Ern in her pajamas on Monday night, he felt a swollen lump at the back of the right ear. The swollen lump is as big as a 20cent coin. I told daddy let’s observe for another day before we take Ern to see PD.

I did some reading about swollen lymph nodes before seeing the PD. The more I read, the more I am certain Ern has swollen lymph nodes. A human has 300+ lymph nodes and most of them are located around the head & neck.

We brought Ern to see PD and CONFIRMED it’s swollen lymph node - not only 1 but THREE (3) at the back of the head. PD asked if Ern has developed fever, flu or cough for the past few days and we told her no, she said good. Good in a sense Ern won the battle in fighting against the virus and bacteria without developing fever/flu/cough. However, the victory battle still leaves some mark behind, ie the swollen lymphb nodes. Nothing alarming but just need to monitor the nodes. As long as they are not growing any bigger or turn red, it’s absolutely fine.

Then, we happily brought her home, fed her dinner with boiled egg and cheese.
2 hours after the dinner, Ern started to rub her face and scratch her head. Her stomach and neck started to develop small rashes. So as her face, started to get swollen. We knew it’s food allergic but what puzzled us was, the food that we gave her, she tried it before weeks ago. Without hesitating, I sent her to see PD again at 8pm. Luckily, PD happened to be around and also puzzled like us why Ern develop allergic. Nevertheless, we were asked to feed medicine immediately before went home. PD also asked us to monitor Ern’s condition for the 8 hours. If the rashes doesn’t subside after 8 hours or Ern has difficulty breathing, we need to send her back.

Thank goodness we had no problem feeding Ern on the medicine. She didn’t make any fuss but drink as if she is eating ice-cream (yeah, I told her it’s ice-cream). When we reached home, the whole body typically swollen and red. Quickly applied the Calomine lotion and soon, Ern went to lala land. Maybe the medicine made her so drowsy until when we tried to wake her up at 12am for her next medicine feeding, she can’t seem to open her eyes but continue to sleep. In the end, I told daddy we skipped it since the rashes has gone done, just left with few spots.

Till now, we don’t know what caused the allergic but we know it’s food. What she ate after we came back from the afternoon visit:
1. Cereal: she has taken this cereal since month 6. So, we ruled this out.
2. Cheese: She has been eating plain cheese since last week. No problem at all. We ruled that out
3. Egg Yoke: We tried before her MMR injection. No sign of allergic as well.
4. Egg White: Poh Poh mixed the white and the yoke together last week. No problem

In the end, we conclude maybe the white serving is more this time, that’s why her body can’t cope. However, I am going to try again next week to determine if she is really allergic with egg white.

Peek-A-Boo Girl

Somehow, I think Ern LOVES to play peek-a-boo in her day-to-day life.

1) Over the wooden stool



2) Even at her play pen

Tag: If I Have 1 Million!

Tagged from Kelvin's Mummy what would I do if I have 1 Million.

The first thing that came to my mind was: What currency is the 1 Million? It makes so much different in determining what can be done with the $1M.

Let's assume if we have in RM. I will invest the $1M to generate more $ for now. After 20 years when Ern and # 2 have grown up, the fund will be used for their teithiary education abroad. Hopefully by then, RM500K is still enough to fund their tuition fee and living expenses.
