Cough cough cough...when will it end?

Been a long time since I've blogged about my sweet little Elijah. But I will try to update small short bits whenever I can. Have been so busy at work that I feel alittle guilty about neglecting my little prince.

It's been a long tiring episode....not tiring physically but tiring mentally...coz my heart has been aching for my little darling Elijah. He had been sick since 9thApril....almost 2-3 weeks ago. It started with running nose...then a really persistent cough and then the scarey phlegmy wheeze came. Am really really worried. Didn't want to see him suffer like the previous bronchitis episode. Didn't want my little baby to be asthmatic as well. I brought him to see Dr Ong once again.

On 9th April....Dr Ong heard his wheezing lungs. Prescribed him the neubilizer medication. We had to loan the neubilizer to administer it at home. Elijah was a sweet sweet baby who cooperated lots when mummy and daddy had to give him his 3 hourly dose of neubilizing drugs.

However, poor Elijah had been coughing so badly at night that it affected his sleep. Was so bad that I even administered the neubilizer at night as Elijah had so much difficulty falling asleep. Cough cough cough...he coughed lots.

Saw Dr Ong again on 12th April (Tues) .....Got Elijah off the neubilizer and continued with oral neubilizing drugs instead. Phew....no more neubilizer coz it was such a hassle to have to bring the neubilizer to and fro. But most imptly, Dr Ong said that Elijah was alot better as his lungs doesn't sound so wheezy anymore. By weekend, Elijah would be well.

However, I feel ill on the next day perhaps all due to the lack of rest. It was really tiring......and I had to prepare the lecture for Thurs. I was lecturing and blowing my nose to get rid of the phlegm.....and a sore throat and sneezy...everything fell on me at the same time.

So infectious mummy...infected daddy and Elijah....on 17th April....when Elijah was on the road to recovery...daddy and Elijah both started the sneezing symptoms. Haiz..that aggrevated Elijah's cough....so his cough came back before he had time to recover. Poor him coughing and coughing again.

Unsettled....we went back to Dr Ong on 21st April...this time Dr Ong changed his medication and even prescribed the lung tonic. It was supposed to last him 1 whole month and with no side effects...it was supposed to desensitize his lungs. I took the tonic but hesitated coz was really worried abt long term side effects. So dearie Elijah boy...please get well. Mummy need you to be well....pains me to hear him cough at night. Coughing so badly..wish I can make the cough go away really fast.

Get well fast my baby!!!!!
