Maestro Tristen

2009-03-28T09:20:00.001-07:00

Took this while he was using our bluetooth headset. Doesn’t he look like a professional conductor?! So watch out millennial Orchestra, The future Maestro is in the house!!

Part time “maid”!!

2009-03-28T09:09:00.001-07:00

This is the way i clean the floor, clean the floor, clean the floor. This is the way I clean the floor, early in the morning! Yes you see correctly. Tris is doing housework! Haha!! We are definitely proud parents! Next… Mopping and cleaning windows….

Train train!

2009-03-28T08:58:00.001-07:00

It was one of those rare weeks where Lester didn’t need to go Expo for early sound check as the C3 band was here! (Awesome band) So we had all the time we needed till the service started. We decided to boycott our car and take public transport instead (In conjunction to the earth hour…. Hehe like real). Tris is always very excited when he sees a bus, train or a plane so we brought him for a ride. Took the bus to Sengkang for breakfast and took MRT and LRT back home. It was a blast for him!! He was especially fascinated with LRT! Well here are some pics.

Playgroup in Church

2009-03-28T08:07:00.001-07:00

Tris is coming 21 months. We decided to bring Tris to playgroup instead of nursery. He is quite ok. At times, he was cranky, stuck to me. He was attentive during lesson time. Had a short attention span. Moreover, it was his first time. Will get used to it. We celebrated his friends’ birthday during playgroup. He did the “Kind” medal. He coloured it himself. Smart boy!

The time which he did enjoy was: EATING TIME! He ate the cake. It was delicious. He fed himself. So smart!!

It was a fulfilling time when he could learn to sing, praise, worship God and learnt bible story. It was also a tiring time for me as I need to carry him most of the time. Things will get better!

Karihome Goat Milk sweets

2009-03-28T08:01:00.001-07:00

I bought Karihome Goat Milk sweets from Carrefour for Tris to try. He liked it! It comes with blueberry, yoghurt, original and strawberry flavour with different shapes.

Goat’s Milk is better than cow’s milk. Here are some information:

What is the difference between goat and cow milk?

Among all the animal's milk suitable for consumption, only cow and goat milk are nutritionally close to human and have been shown to be an excellent source of nutrition.Goat milk is closer to human because the protein profile is more similiar. Goat milk protein forms smaller and finer curd and has more than double the typical amount of medium chain triglyceride (MCT) in cow milk. Goat milk protein is much easier to digest and absorb and hence children have less incidence of having indigestion or allergy.
Goat milk has also been shown to contain high concentration of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) that is very low in cow milk. EGF is a natural ingredient in human milk. It promotes gut and cell development and recovery.
An enzyme known as Platelet Activating Factor Acetyl Hydrolase, which can break down allergen, has also been isol ated from goat milk during research.

What are the benefits of goat milk?

Goat milk has natural bioactive factors such as nucleotides, taurine and polyamine which help to build up the immune system. Absorption of calcium, iron, copper and zinc is higher in goat milk than cow milk. Goat milk is also good for lung, stomach and intestine. So there are fewer incidences of cough, phlegm and indigestion. Feedback from parents that their children's asthma improve after a few months of taking Karihome goat milk.

You can try it too!

Maid is coming…

2009-03-28T07:48:00.001-07:00

Finally, my maid is coming on 4 May. She can speak Mandarin, Hakka and Cantonese. Can communicate with my mom. It’ll be a great help for me during this period of time. I can spend more time with Tris and the maid can mainly help to do housework.

Maid or No maid

2009-03-07T07:00:00.001-08:00

In the beginning, I don’t like the idea of having a maid. After Tristen was born, I put him in the office nursery. I stopped letting him go after five months later as he was sick quite often due to the environment. It was very very cold!

Thank God, my mom helped me to take care of him. My mom is super! Not only she takes care, but she cooks for the entire family everyday and does housework at the same time!

Now, the 2nd child is coming in June. I was in dilemma whether we should employ a maid to help us with our housework. Mind you, our housework really piles up! With Tris around at home, i cannot really do much.

We were very blessed by Pastor’s message these few weeks on relationships. After much discussion, we decided to go ahead with the idea of having a maid. She can help my mom also with Tristen and the baby. My mom will be more free up to do other things.

This Monday, we are going to the maid agency recommended by Lily. Pray for wisdom!!! Confess: I am going to have a GREAT MAID! (1000 Xs)

CONFESS!

2009-03-07T06:42:00.001-08:00

For the past few days, Tris was sick with cough and flu. We had to neb him. Being a parent, when your child is sick, it is very “Sian” and tend to worry for your child.

I was very inspired by Dr Cho! He is really the man of God. I love to read his books. He shared about the power of confession! I began to confess that Tris will be healed totally for more than 200 times.

Today, Lester did that! He had confessed 300 times!

We know he will healed totally. We don’t have to worry about Tris as we know that God will take good care of him as we serve Him!

Jab Day

2009-02-23T06:04:00.001-08:00

Tris went for his hep A Jab today. He din cry much! So proud of him.

Before we went, i asked him if he wanted to see Dr Ong. His reply was, yes! (in Mandarin). But when we went to the clinic, it was not the same. His whining would start the moment he saw him.

GrandPa’s Birthday!

2009-02-22T23:30:00.001-08:00

Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. We went to Vivo City and had our dinner @ the BOSSES. It was nice but steep. The ambience was good.

After that, we had Ben and Jerry ice cream. Tris enjoyed the ice cream. Taste of heaven!

Family Portrait! See the way Tristen poses. Centre of attraction!

See Tristen’s expression!

Tris Doing his “ARTWORK”

2009-02-22T22:56:00.001-08:00

Tris likes to write and scribble on the paper! He is able to hold a pen using his left and right hands. Not sure if he is going to be a left handed or right handed. He has been serious in doing his artwork.

.My mom in law bought him a small table and my bro in law bought some crayons. He enjoys colouring and writing. The thing is only he understands what he is writing.

Sorry for the delay…

2009-02-22T22:31:00.001-08:00

Playground

2008-11-07T20:37:00.000-08:00

Yes yes i know its been a while since we've update this blog..... So here are some photos of Tristen at the playground. He did his first slide down the slide. Fortunately I was able to get it on video(Thank God for Handphones). As his motor skill is improving at fast speed, my stress also increase in fast speed. He's trying out everything on the playground with the absence of fear.

erm..... The "HEY!!" at the end of the video was daddy...Couldn't control his excitement. Hope he din scare you...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY To DADDY!

Venturing into new territories

2008-09-27T23:43:00.000-07:00

Now that Tris is walking steadily, he's beginning to tread new grounds. Occasionally coming back to us for biscuits.

Tristen is Sick

2008-09-19T08:31:00.000-07:00

Tristen is sick! Sigh! Very Xian when baby is sick. This month, he has been sick twice. 1st week, he had bronchititis probably due to the food that he ate. This time round, he had flu & cough with wheezing. He's on nebilizer.

He did not sleep well due to his stuck nose. Kept waking up. As a result, lester and I din sleep much. What to do?

Doc said it's due to the genes from parents. When young, Lester was asthmatic. Till 7 years old, he outgrew.

Doc said must pray for Tristen. Please pray for him. It's heartpain to see him like that.

I know that whenever we serve God, He will always protect our loved ones. I know Tris is in good hands in God.

Walk Walk Walk!

2008-09-11T05:42:00.000-07:00

Tristen is walking!!! He walks very well with much practice. When He walks, I know my life is never the same!! Ha ha! Got to catch him here and there as he walks everywhere. Need to be extra careful. Many times, he has bruises while walking. Sigh! That's life!!!

Lester likes the way he walks cos his backside together with his pampers will shake vigorously. U know what i mean! ha ha.

Learning to say some Words

2008-09-11T05:34:00.000-07:00

Tristen is learning to say some words:

Here are the words he is saying:

1) Bus Bus
2) Bird Bird
3) Ball Ball
4) "Xie" (shoes in Mandarin)
5) There!
6) Jie Jie (sister)
7) Dad Dad
8) Ma Ma

He will point to his ear when u say ear in mandarin. He will communicate with you by nodding and shaking his head.

Everyday, he will learn new things. It's so thrilled to see him grow up!

Batam Trip

2008-08-29T20:58:00.000-07:00

Lester's company organized a Family Batam Trip. The whole family went FREE OF CHARGE! It was a 2 days trip and the focus of it was team building. We had fun there! Tristen enjoyed the most! Tris was well-loved by many people. The tour guide liked him so much! One of Lester's colleague's son always played with him.

One of the places we visited was the Ralph Lauren polo shop. Actually nothing much there. Just managed to buy a belt and a polo T.

Next we went to a place where the sell different types of crackers. A place where you buy gift for all your relatives. Think those who have been there before will know.

We were supposed to have our team building games on the day of our arrival at Batam but it was raining like crazy so we had to postponed it till the next day.

Thank God for a beautiful Sunday morning! We had our games and Lester's team won!!
He was all wet after that.

After an intense morning of games we had seafood at a Kelong. The stuff there were very fresh as they were cooked once caught. However the enjoyment was short live as there was an outpouring of rain! Can say it was amost like thunderstorm. All of us have to squeeze to the center of the Kelong. Fwah i thought we were going to do a titanic.

We had lots of fun. And most significantly, it was BT's(Baby Tris)first oversea trip. Next one.....Holland!

Morning Prayer Meeting Part 2

2008-08-22T20:35:00.000-07:00

We really enjoyed the morning prayer meetings. Kind of miss it this week. Bringing Tristen everyday without fail but this time round, Lester was there so not so heavy for me as he carried Tris to the stairs to HOG nursery.

Tristen enjoyed being there. Even though there were no toys yet he would entertain himself such as opening the cupboards, drawing the curtains to get children's stools, climbing onto the table, pushing the chairs. He really made us very busy.

Last Thurs, DiDi Ansel came & joined him. He was really happy to see him. He likes babies and wants to play with them.

I know that one day he wants to be a PASTOR! COS he tried to lay hands on Ansel & pray for him. ha ha.

Here are some pictures of Ansel & Tris.

1st Passport

2008-08-20T20:52:00.000-07:00

Tristen did his FIRST PASSPORT! We did online. Within three days, it was done!

He's so cute!!! Here is the passport photo of him!

Morning Prayer Meetings

2008-08-17T19:41:00.000-07:00

Morning Prayer Meetings have been good for the past 1 week. Tristen and I were there for all the days! He is the YOUNGEST prayer warrior! Even though, it was troublesome, but it's all worthwhile. Having soaked in the presence of God every morning.

This week, Lester joined us for the 1st time as he works night shift so that he can come for the morning prayer meetings. He was very excited!

Today was GREAT! Praising the name of Jesus! Whatever that we went through, we lifted up the His name and that gave us the strength to pull through. Personally I was ministered. What a great start for the 1st day of work.

I am looking forward to the morning prayer meetings for the next 4 days!

SOC (Standard Obstacle Course) - Playground Edition

2008-08-02T21:10:00.000-07:00

Well since Mummy is so busy, then Daddy will be temporary in charge of the blog.

I brought Tris to the playground located in our estate's garden on a Saturday afternoon. It was love at first sight for him! If you guys didn't know, he loves, and I mean Loves with a capital 'L', to climb stairs!! Not much effort for him to do that but a super work out for us!!

So the first thing he went for were the colored stairs. Up and down and up and down and up and down and up ....... I give up!!!

So i decided to let him crawl up the slide and guess what?! He did it with such flair! Effortless!!! He went up himself, crossed a bridge, down a step and and played with a steering wheel!! He just reminded me of my army days!! The difference is that i'm in pain while doing it....

Tris was having so much fun that I had problem trying to leave the playground.. And everytime we walk pass it, he'll be pointing at it wanting me to bring him for another session. What have i got myself into?!!

Anyway he was just so excited and happy the whole time and that makes it all worthwhile. We had a great time bonding.
So here's a video to show you guys his playground exploit.

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

2008-08-01T22:03:00.000-07:00

Tristen's first sandy encounter

2008-07-13T00:13:00.000-07:00

It was the day after his 1st birthday and we've decided to bring Tristen to the beach. We took a stroll from island resort chalet to the shore. Tris was on his new bicycle. We wondered what would be his reaction if we put him on the sand..... well HE LOVED IT!!! Here's a video to show you guys.

We ordered the cake from ecreative. I don't eat cakes but this one I really ate alot. It tasted GREAT!

Grown up Tris

2008-07-02T07:47:00.000-07:00

Tris really has grown up. I remembered last year we celebrated his 1st month, this sat, we are celebrating his 1st year birthday. Time really flies. I thank God for His strength to pull me through. It's not easy but it's indeed fulfilling to see him growing up and be healthy. It doesn't stop there. It's still a long way to go. Taking care of children is a life time commitment.

Photos Part A

2008-07-02T07:36:00.000-07:00

Here are some photos of Tris! Enjoy!

BOB THE BUILDER

2008-06-27T04:26:00.000-07:00

Tris is Sick

2008-06-15T02:48:00.000-07:00

He has cough, flu and rashes on his body. The doctor said the virus caused him to have rashes then after that followed by cough and flu. He must be kept at home for 1 week. Couldn't go to church. Poor Tris. The rashes were on and off. Pls keep him in your prayers. He will get well very soon in Jesus' name! Amen!

Family Photos

2008-06-08T07:30:00.000-07:00

Last month, we brought my mom to HK cafe for Mother's Day. Tris was well behaved. He ate his dinner there. Whenever it comes to eating, he will get very excited.

We took some family photos!

Church Nursery

2008-06-08T07:23:00.000-07:00

Tris was @ home resting ever since he was discharged from the hospital. Last month, during Mother's Day, we brought him to church once again. He was "promoted" from Nursery 1 to Nursery 3. Self promotion from me. Ha ha. By right, he should be N1. More toys in N3.

He really enjoyed himself and he met his Suntec nursery friend, Christian.

I hope that he will be independent there and i can go out for svc.

11 months!

2008-06-05T21:49:00.000-07:00

Tris is now 11 months old! One more month to his one-year-old birthday. How time flies! It just happened last year, we celebrated his one-month old. Very fast, he is going to be one year old.

We are still thinking where to hold his birthday celebration.

Separation...

2008-06-04T09:06:00.000-07:00

Whenever we go for work, Tris will cry. This week, Lester works night shift. Yesterday, we put in our mom's place in the afternoon. When he went off, he cried. Lester asked my mom to distract him.

Few minutes later, Tristen wandered around the house and found nobody. Then he started crying. He went to the door and cried for us! Even how many times, my mom called him, he kept on crying. Poor Tris, he really missed us!

I came home @ 9pm. He was not sleeping. The moment he saw me, he was very excited and came to hug me.

He really misses us!

Smileys!!

2008-06-03T20:49:00.001-07:00

A joyful baby!!

F1 Driver

2008-06-03T20:36:00.001-07:00

He loves playing with the steering wheel of the car. Have to really restrain him at times because he wants to do that while Lester is driving!! He will get so excited everytime he has a chance to be there and he'll be toying with the wiper, the water squirts, the signal lights and his favourite.... The headlights!! Once he did a high beam on people that was in front of the car!!

Understand some phrases

2008-06-03T18:58:00.000-07:00

Tris understands some phrases. He will show actions when we say it. Here are the words:
1. Clap your hands
2. Bye Bye
3. Shake your head
4. No!No!
5. Gai Gai (that means go out)
6. Mummh Mummh (eat)

Changed of working hours

2008-05-26T19:18:00.000-07:00

Now, I am not working on Saturdays. I have changed my working hours. It's good as Lester has to work on alternate Sats and we don't have to crack our brain who can take care of Tris. It was very rush for us. We had to wake up early to prepare and go to parents/parents in law's hse.

I get to spend quality time with him on Saturdays. Lester will take care of him on Sundays while I am working. It is good that we are with him during the weekends.

Lights at the start of the tunnel

2008-05-25T06:50:00.000-07:00

FINALLY!!!! Our computer is up!! The graphic card was damaged..... Anyway here's a new post after 2 1/2 weeks.
Tristen gets really excited everytime we drive into a tunnel. He's very fascinated by the long stretches of orange and white lights. So whenever we drive into the tunnel of CTE or KJE he will start kicking his legs frantically to show his excitement. Hope that he'll be that enthusiastic whenever he enters into the tunnel of life. The word "Tristen" means "strength" and "Wei" means "courageous". We pray that he will show forth the character of his name when things in life feels like its going into a tunnel. Like what we've learnt, every problems we encounter is an opportunity for GOD to do a miracle in our life. So GO FOR IT TRIS!!!That's my boy!!!
Here's a video to show you guys how excited he is!!

Better videos!!

2008-05-09T09:09:00.000-07:00

Hi I've uploaded all the videos via youtube so its much better. Won't lag. So pls feel free to watch the old ones again

CLIMBING

2008-05-08T06:42:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, Tris likes to climb up and down around the house. His energy seems to be never ending. I am more tired than him. Chasing after him all the time!

Tristen, stop climbing! Ha ha Ha

HIS FIRST TIME!

2008-05-08T06:39:00.000-07:00

This is the first time Tris sat down in this "car". See how he enjoyed it!

EATING BISCUITS!

2008-05-08T06:27:00.000-07:00

Tris likes to eat biscuits! We bought alot of brands of biscuits for him to try such as "Baby Bites", Heinz, organic teething rusks. His favourite is "Baby Bites".

Whenever we go out for a meal, we will always remember to bring his biscuits so that we will have "peace" when we eat. He will sit down on the highchair and enjoy his biscuits! See how he feeds himself with them!

OUT of SUNTEC NURSERY

2008-05-07T03:10:00.000-07:00

Tristen has been officially out of Suntec Nursery because of his health. My mom helps me to take care of him from tues - Thurs. We will try our best to bring him home latest by 7pm so that my mom can rest in the night.

At times when we come home late, Tris will wait for us till we come home!

Now, it is better arrangement. His health has improved.

Photos

2008-05-01T22:58:00.000-07:00

Just want to upload some pictures of Tris!

Family Outing

2008-05-01T18:00:00.000-07:00

Today, we brought Tris for my cousin's baby's shower. He wore new clothes. He looked handsome. Din manage to take any photo. He was very smiley throughout. Happy baby! He must be very happy to see alot of people there.

Tris went for review

2008-04-30T21:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, we brought tris to doctor for review. As usual, he would cry a bit when the doc examined him. He was better but still need to be on neb till this week. After the whole thing, he was to his usual self. He "talked" and "talked" to the doc. The doc made a remark saying that Tris talked as if he was "scolding" him. Haha. This doc has a sense of humor.

Tristen on Nebilizer

2008-04-28T08:22:00.000-07:00

Tristen will always cry when he is on nebilizer. While preparing, I switched on the Playhouse Disney Channel which showed "Thomas & friends". He was so captivated by the song that he forgot he was on nebilizer. He did not cry but sat down quietly watching it. Amazed by it!

Tristen reading books

2008-04-28T08:11:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, Tris likes to look at books. When I read to him, he will listen attentively. It is good to explore them with vocabularies. He will talk alot and he is now beginning to develop syllabus.

He knows how to say "PAPA", "DADDY". When I say the word "milk milk", he begins to smile at me, knowing his milk is on its way!

The Porta-Neb

2008-04-26T21:36:00.000-07:00

Tris went back to the doctor again. Heard some wheezing in his lungs so decided to consult before it gets worse. Doc said its coming back and we have to nebulize him. So we decided to buy the whole machine instead of renting it. $300 plus !!!( Claimable from my company of course...Love my company. Hehe!)
The machine is called Porta-Neb. Tris has phobia everytime he sees that so its quite a work out to administer that to him.
Here's a video to show his reaction everytime when we try to nebulize him.

A Constant Battle - By Daddy

2008-04-23T07:29:00.000-07:00

Tristen was showing some signs of bronchitis again. Started coughing during the morning about 2 am. Thought that it was just a one off thing like maybe the air con was too cold, itchy throat, maybe its just the dust or perhaps its morning and he's just clearing his throat.... Just refusing to entertain the thought that maybe the bronchitis is back. The two of us are having emotions similar to a sine curve. One moment you think that everythings gonna be alright cos Tristen is healthy and there's no coughing, one moment you have a thought like "when is it going to be over?! When is the cough going to stop?!! I BIND YOU DEVIL!!!!" Just because Tristen was coughing a little here and there. I think the fact that we are first time parent makes us a little "gan chiong"(meaning nervous) when there's a slightest sign of illness.... even a sneeze and we go " I BIND YOU SATAN, I BIND YOU!!! LOOSE HIM LOOSE HIM!!! ARRRRRGH!!!"
Then there's the 1001 advices from people, like eat this magical medicine and everything will be ok, go see a different doctor cos this ones not working, Take this herb, drink more water, don't take too much medicine and let the body fight the virus, how about cod liver oil, eat apples, eat orange, eat papaya, eat durian, eat this, eat that, do this, do that, blah blah blah blah.......
Well the 2 of us gave it a thought and we just have to pull ourselves together. The fight against virus is a constant battle. We can't just expect it to go away instantly and hope that he'll never cough or sneeze ever ever again...ah....aaah .aaah....AAAAAH CHEW!!!!....excuse me.....
Adults can catch a virus anytime, how much more a baby like our cutie pie Tristen who is teething and his immunity system is at its all time low. The body takes time to fight and be acustom to the "harsh" environment we have. At times its winning and at times it loses ground. We just have to expect it and not be so worried or surprised when he's not feeling well. AND if all these reasons are not good enough to comfort you, then just remember 1 thing...... GOD IS IN CONTROL. His ways are higher so we just have to trust him. We perform our part by doing what's best for Tristen and we let GOD do the rest. We pray for him knowing at the back of our mind that Jesus not just bore our sins but also our sickesses and that the Holy Spirit is there in the cot comforting him.
So for those who are reading this and you or maybe your little precious is in the battlefield against a certain virus(touch wood), you are not alone cos we are your fellow comrades. So be brave!!! For the enemies will flee in 7 ways!
All this we do so that we can see a big smile on the face of our little precious.
Its worth every bit of it.

A natural for brass instruments

2008-04-19T21:49:00.000-07:00

Caught our little prince buzzing his lips. Can't help thinking if he's gonna take up a brass instrument in the future. Maybe the trumpet like his Daddy!!(Daddy will be proud). He sticks out his tongue while doing it, but actually he can do it without sticking it out. Not many can do it at first. Hope he'll continue To spray his "showers of blessing". 1 2 3!!! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Tristen's favourite toy

2008-04-18T16:51:00.000-07:00

Few months ago, we subscribed to Playhouse Disney. I must admit that I watched Playhouse Disney more than other channels. It was quite fun watching them. I Even know how to sing the songs. The programmes such as Pocoyo, Bob the Builder, Thomas and friends, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and many more. Tristen's favourite porgramme is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Whenever I switched on to watch it, he would smile and was happy.

At one time, he cried but when we switched on to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, he stopped crying. It's really amazing.

Now, he has a mickey mouse toy! I would use it to play with him. He was very happy. He is a great fan of Mickey Mouse. Next time, when he is older, i will bring him to watch Disney on ice!

Tristen sitting in his walker

2008-04-17T07:12:00.000-07:00

Tristen does not like to sit in his walker. Whenever we put him in, he will refuse to go in and we will always "force" him.

Today, it's really a "miracle". He sat in his walker for a very long time. Great!

Tristen Admitted to Hospital Again!

2008-04-10T20:43:00.000-07:00

Tristen admitted to the hospital again due to very bad cough. It was on Sunday night and Lester had gone off to Oslo for a course on Sat. I called the doc because Tris was very listless and his cough was non stop. He developed fever. So he asked me to bring Tris to hospital. He examined him and found that he had hard time breathing and admitted him. He was put in the isolation room for spreading the virus to anybody.

I cried a few times. I was wondering why this thing happened to me and Lester was not around. I know that God is with me! I thanked God for smses that really encouraged me. I know that Tris will get well soon!

I spent 4 days in the hospital. Day after day, Tristen got better and better as the days went by. On the third day, the doc told me good news!! He had NO MORE virus in his body! Praise God!

Now, Tris is resting. I have to take 1 week leave just to ensure everything is ok. My leaves are all used up by him!

I really thank God for all my friends who have been there and prayed for him. And I also thank God for Doctor Ong who really takes good care of Tristen.

I will be back to upload some photos and videos during the stay in hospital.

Counting down: 2 more days, my husband will be back!

Tristen in Hospital

2008-04-03T01:09:00.001-07:00

On Sunday, we brought Tristen to see a doctor because of his bad cough. The doctor said that he was wheezing and suspected that he has pneumonia. He went through blood test and x-ray! When the results were out, the doctor said he had acute bronchitis. We were given two choices. One is home treatment and another one admission. We decided to admit him.

He stayed for 3 days in hospital. He had to go through physiotherapy and suction. Seeing and hearing him cry made me feel like crying also. So young that he had to go through all these things! Whenever he saw any nurse that came and took his temperature, he would cry! Even when he saw the doctor, he cried too. He had phobia.

The phlegm was tested and found out that the germs that he carried was rare and not so good. According to the doctor, it was airborne and could be caught from parents. That's why he was not getting any better. He was given a special antibiotics which would cause allergy. Thank God that Tristen did not have any allergy!

On the third day, he was discharged. Our bills were mounted up to $2500 plus! Thank God, for Lester's company! He can claim up to 75% of the total bill! Not only that we can claim extra $175 per day. Sidetrack: Whenever we bring Tristen to see doctor, we can claim the full amount until 6 years old. So good right! Don't envy. Haha

Now, he is resting at home. I will not send him to nursery for 1 month. Meantime, my mom will help me.

Thank you for all your smses and your gifts. Please continue to pray for him.
