Urgh! We are ill!

The kids have been free of illness this year till now. 哥哥 has been coughing for more than 2 weeks and we have been to the GP twice - no improvement. Then he passed it to 妹妹.

Poor girl had phlegm stuck in the throat and has a very bad running nose. It must be 'tickling' her because she couldn't sleep and just keep coughing till she throw up the phlegm. She has been throwing up 4 to 5 times at night for the passed 3 nights. She couldn't eat and drink too because I think her throat must be very sore from the coughing. GP's medication didn't work too.

I let 哥哥 skipped school today and bought them to the Paediatrician at Gleneagles. 爸爸 has a very important meeting with the CEO of HDB so I'm on my own. These 2 don't look and behave anything like they are sick. I have to chase them all over the place and I'm like half dead now. Maybe I'm the one who needs a doctor.

Anyways, the Pead said 妹妹 should be better if her running nose clears. The mucus flowed back to her throat and that caused the coughing. So replacement medicines for flu and to strengthen her lungs. BUT, 哥哥 has chronic cough and is now wheezing, has been put on replacement medications which includes 2 types of inhalers! So serious ah?! Luckier the kids don't have a problem taking medicines. 妹妹 even asked for more. So it's less stressful for me to feed them medicine.

The trip cost me around $270 excluding transport. Haiz! What to do $2,700 also need to pay if it helps get them well lah. My only wish is it will be speedier.
