On Tuesday night, after sharing an ice cream with Samantha che-che, Zara started coughing, the 2nd time Zara she had cough and flu since she was born (touch wood).<\/p>\n

Although it wasn’t serious, since I didn’t have any medication at home, I took her to see the Paed on Thursday morning. I told her, “Mummy bring Zara go see Dr to take Medicine ok?”<\/span>. She started repeating, “Meh-ee-sen”<\/span><\/p>\n

At the hospital, she was happily running about, playing with the toys and slides at the waiting area.<\/p>\n

When it was her turn, she let the Dr checked her without a fuss. I also accepted the Dr’s recommendation of a new vaccination called Pnemocococcal vaccination<\/a> (for protection against bacterial meningitis, septicaemia and pneumonia). It was when he administered the vaccination that Zara cried. “Bum bum pain pain”<\/span> She cried and complained. However, she still tearily waved and uttered, “Bye-bye”<\/span> to the Dr when we were leaving.<\/p>\n

1st attempt of feeding Zara the medicine was a breeze. She didn’t know what it tasted, and opened her mouth smilingly. In the night, it was a different story. “Don’t want, don’t want meh-ee-sen”<\/span>.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The mention of ‘medicine’ made her go all teary; 2 pairs of hands needed to feed her 2.5ml of the syrup (the 3rd pair snapping away on the camera); after swallowing the medicine, she started bawling.

After a nursing directly for a while, she had the happy look again, aaaaah..
\n<\/a> She’s getting better already, thank goodness!<\/p>\n
