C

OMG! Z knows the letter 'C'!!!

Mama perasan masa tengah tengok cd ABC tu, tv tengah show the letter C then Z pun pegi duduk n belek2 letter C kat foam mat!

Wow! Mama really impress! Mesti ada jer letter lain yg Z tahu, but he stop as soon as mama become overly excited -_-

Muah2!! Ok now you have to show mama another 25 letters k ;)
Ketika kejadian

P/s: ni baru Z tunjuk letter C, bayangkan kalau Z dh boleh sebut 'C' nanti... Apatah lagi kalau Z dh mula membaca nanti.. Hmmm.. T_T

Post Viral (kot)

90% of the rashes has gone away.. Alhamdulillah :)

disebabkan kehilangannya yg agak cepat tu, highly likely its just post viral + allergy jer kata doctor. the only problem is allergy amende lah gamaknya yer.. mama masih suspect allergy to DHA supplement so mama tak berani nak kasik Z the supplement yet.

but papa rasa it has something to do with lotion johnson & johnson milk yg mama beli kat malaysia haritu. sebab masa kat malaysia pun Z pernah jadik a bit of rash (more mcm heat rashes jer) lepas pakai lotion tu.. so, papa x kasik dh pakai. tapi mama x buang pun, terlekat balik ke ireland. and out of my knowledge, rupa2nya kak yah mmg dok pakaikan lotion tu di badan Z. baru semalam mama perasan. laaaa... patuitla..

tapi heran gak sebab dia kata mmg dia pakaikan lotion tu sejak balik dr malaysia 2 mgu lepas lagi. apesal baru naik rashes? maybe tak sesuai dipakai ketika hari panas kot. sebab 2-3 hari lepas mmg panas berbahang kat dublin nih. sebelum2 nih nyaman jer.. maybe sebab tu la kot.. so, pada firasat mama, its the lotion, plus the heat, plus the viral, maka jadiklah rashes yg menggerunkan itu..

btw, harini dah Friday! and team mate mama suma bercuti. jadik mama pun bercuti lah jugak di pejabat.. hehehe..

mama tengah survey gymboree class and ginko and magnesium skrg nih. mama baru found out yg teeth grinding tu ada kena mengena dgn kekurangan magnesium. and much more interesting info yg mama dapat, its actually related to ANXIETY! and sensitivity to noise e.g. ketawa. WHAT??? lately mmg penyakit ketap gigi Z bertambah serious. sampai berdarah2 lidah dia.. hmmm, harini jugak mama nak pegi carik magnesium supplement for Z (with or without papa appoval hihihi). so now mama tengah carik the best magnesium for children. rasanya boleh jer ambik any magnesium, but the dose must be 80mg per day. tapi mama nak jugak la carik yg khas utk children kalau ada..


UPDATE: OMG! why its never registered to my mind before??? balik rumah tadi mama dok belek2 la lotion JJ milk tu, pastu baru mama terasa kebodohan terpikir, duh! it was made from MILK. Z kan milk intolarence. so definitely this was the cause. so, Z is actually not milk intolerence, but milk allergy instead!!!!! for some reason, mama x pernah pun terpikir pasal milk dlm lotion nih.. patutla papa beriya2 cakap he think that's the lotion. mama pulak mcm pening2 lalat, apehal pulak lotion pun boleh kuar rashes. DUH!!! now, the lotion already in the bin. sorry sayang. i wouldnt bought it at the first place if i wasnt this bimbo :(

Rashes

Masa lunch tadi kak yah msg mama. Katanya badan Z penuh biji2 merah. So mama call balik n dengar Z tengah meragam.. Tanya biji camne n suruh dia tekan2 tengok kalau still merah jugak. Bila tekan, hilang jer katanya.. So cant be that bad kot. Mama suruh dia kasik anti histamine yg sedia ada tu jer.

Setengah jam kemudian mama call lagi, katanya tak baik jugak. Z pun tgh melalak time tu.. X sedap hati, mama mintak permission utk balik.

Sampai rumah tengok masyaAllah..! Mmg teruk rashesnya. Bukan biji2 tapi mcm bengkak2 tu.





Mmg satu badan merah2 camni. Gerun mama tengok. Mama suspect allergy. Tanya kak yah kot dia ada bagi something new..x de plak katanya.. Maybe sbb dha yg mama kasik pagi2 tu kot. Dha tu drpd cod, maybe Z allergic to seafood ka.. Tapi salmon dgn ikan bilis boleh pulak? Lagipun start dha dh 2 hari dah, takkan baru nak naik kot..?

Kak yah kata dia start garuk2 lepas mandi. Air kot..? Tapi papa kata tu mcm viral jer. Post viral rashes kot sbb Z kan ada batuk2 selsema sebelum nih.. Tapi mcm agak teruk la, better g check katanya.

So mama bawak Z g clinic. Doctor pun ckp viral (plus a bit allergy). Scarlet fever kot, except Z x demam panas pun. So dia suruh tunggu sampai esok. Kalau demam, nanti dia kasik antibiotic. Kalau tak dia akan kasik steroid jer la utk redakan sikit gatal2 tu..

Balik rumah, berguling2 lah anak mama kegatalan. Mmg literally golek2. Paling suka atas lantai, sejuk sikit kot. Kebetulan harini mmg panas membahang kat dublin nih. Mama sapukan bedak sejuk, kurang sikit dia garuk2, tapi rashesnya dok macam tu la jugak..



Mama dh kasik pcm. Moga2 kuranglah sikit ketidak selesaan dia tu.. Now dh pukul 11 lebih, blom tido lagi. Asik merengek2 jer.. Kesiaann anak mama.. Mesti merenyem jer seluruh badan..:( cepat2 baik yer sayang..

Papa balik yeay!

Oopss, and now papa is gone again :(

Papa balik kejap jer semalam, pagi ni dah ke Sligo semula. kesian papa..mesti penat.. papa balik sebab risaukan Z yg batuk2 tu.. turn out bukan croup or chesty cough pun.. ape ntah dia kata.. so tak perlu risau sgt, nanti baik sendiri.

cuma kalau tengah tido jer lah yg menjadi masalah sekarang nih. sebab nanti Z akan batuk2 n difficult in breathing. mainly sebab Z tido meniarap, so macam ter compress salur pernafasan, thats why tido berbunyi n batuk2. semalam kami try bagi dia tido terlentang n tinggikan bantal. ok sikit lah, but tak lama sebab dia tak biasa tido camtu.. kejap jer dia dia pusing meniarap balik..

hmm.. cepat2 baik yer sayang.. takut mama dengar dia batuk2 and ala2 wheezing tu. tapi kalau dia tak tido, dah jarang2 dah batuknya..insyaAllah nanti ok lah tu yer.. :)

Croup or Chesty Cough?

Z dah start having flu on & off sebelum balik M’sia lagi, tapi start batuk2 ni masa kat msia laa.. takde lah teruk, kadang2 jer terdengar dia batuk2.. Cuma sehari dua ni bertambah teruk pulak mama tengok.. semalam sampai nk termuntah2 jer.. pastu tido mmg wheezing lah.. mama pun x sure sama ada itu chesty cough ataupun croup. Macam both symptom ada jer.. agak confius utk dirawati.. so far mama cuma letak vicks jer. risau jugak kalau bertambah teruk nanti. Ingat nak bawak g GP, tapi papa suruh tunggu dia balik esok camner..

Ermm..banyak lagi nak update tapi mama masih malas and tak tau nk cerita mana satu dulu..

Weekend pun mcm busy jer.. sabtu busy kemas2 rumah dengan unpacking barang2 from Malaysia haritu.. dh seminggu baru nk unpacking huhu.. then buat groceries sambil2 merayau2 ke shopping complex. Dah 2-3 mgu tak singgah kedai2, mcm rindu pulak heheh..

Ahad pulak auntie meri, caroline, auntie rini and uncle Adrian datang. Konon2 nk celebrate birthday auntie meri lah. instead of going out, we just masak2 kat rumah jer. diorang dtg dari tgh hari sampai lah ke petang. Z mula2 ok lah, about 45 mins jugak dia bertahan, lepas tu mulalah melalak2.. makan pun tak nak, end up mama bawak masuk bilik kasi tido jer laa..

Pastu malamnya Z dah tak mengantuk, pukul 11 lebih baru tido.. adoiii, penatnya mama.. tapi tu lah, sebabkan dia banyak menangis tu, batuk2 bertambah worst jadinya.. sigh.. kesiann sayang mama.. hopefully he will recover soon.. aminn..

new toys, punya lah kedekut excited, mama nak bukakan kotak pun tak kasik..

22 Months, Psych & Physio Appointments

Quick update for this month, berat 10kg, tinggi 84cm (last check up 13 June-Ampang Puteri)
milestone lain2 x banyak different from last month kot..

Harini semalam ada appointment psych and physio kat rumah.

Psychologist utk follow up balik msia haritu. Mama citer lah apa yg berlaku masa kat malaysia nun. Z melalak2 setiap kali nampak orang. Kalau kat rumah mmg berkurung jer dlm bilik, but he is fine bila keluar jalan2 or pusing2 naik kete. Walaupun Z still melalak2, but mama do feel that the tips yg dia bagi tu agak berkesan. contohnya kalau org tak approach dia, and buat tak tau jer.. he will slowly accept those people. so, Z tak kan meraung bila around them. tapi still x boleh pegang la.. tu pun bagi mama dah ok dah.. at least tak de lah stress mama dengar Z malalak.. :D

Masa jumpa Karyn semalam tu, Z tak melalak pun.. which for Karyn its a big improvement, so dia kata this is her last visits, tak perlu follow up dah.. what? nooo...! I still need you to help me Karyn! huhuhu.. mmg ler Z tak melalak, tapi tu sebab dia asik dok atas riba mama jer sepanjang meeting. kejap2 peluk mama.. so he feels safe. cuba mama letak, kompem melalak2 juga.. tapi Karyn ckp tak per.. biar dia safe dlm pelukan mama. that's the correct way to handle anxiety, but dlm masa yg sama keep including him with the society..

Mama tanyalah how to make things better? takkan lah nk tunggu sampai dia pulih sendiri. memanglah anxiety ni temporary jer, but until when? seriously mama rasa macam dia nak lepas tangan jer.. ;( mentang2 lah dia dh nk resign.. dia cakap dia dah mintak Catherine (Home Teaching Dept) utk pastikan Z dapat cikgu next few months. so, hopefully bila dah ada cikgu yg datang mengajar, Z sedikit demi sedikit akan accept other people.. hmmm.. ok.. tapi masalahnya cikgu datang rumah, so Z bukannya mix with other kids pun... so mama bagitau dia rancangan mama nk hantar Z ke nursery (part time jer la). dia cakap kena pilih yg bersesuaian.. tak boleh hantar ke nursery yg terlalu ramai org. biar yg ada small group jer.. nanti dia akan tanya kat home teachers around our area for suggestion.. hmm.. ok la sikit kot.. but honestly mama a bit dissapointed lah.. ingatkan dia akan bagi proper plan ke apa.. sigh..

anyway, lepas jumpa Karyn, jumpa Paula pulak.. sembang2 sekejap jer.. sebab Z mmg not in a good mood.. tak de improvement pun for the past 3 weeks sbb masa time kat msia tu mmg x practis apa pun.. akibatnya muscles Z dah lemah.. yer la, keja melalak n berdukung jer.. otot2nya kurang bergerak.. so, dia cakap to carry on what we are doing before jer la.. kena build the streght semula..

but 1 thing both of them notice, Z bertambah banyak vocal. still gugugaga no meaning lah.. heheh.. mau ke tak nya.. masa kat malaysia kan Z dah paractis meraung 24 hrs.. mmg lah bertambah kuat voice dia.. heheheh..

k la, mama loves you no matter what sayang.. muahs!!

WW: Gaya Tido di Malaysia

Malaysia Aftermath

Alhamdulillah dah sampai dublin. A very long and tiring 20++ hours journey (yet satisfactory). Flight heathrow-dublin delayed for 1 hour, stroller hilang kat heathrow airport. So, kena berdukung jer.. Lenguh2 tangan mama n papa.. Weather not so good in dublin, flight x boleh landing.. in flight pressure sangat kuat, Z meraung2!! Then pampers bocor habis kena mama n kerusi kapal terbang.. huhuhu.. Stress to the max!!

But as soon as we are in our apartment lobby, he seems to recognised the place - HOME SWEET HOME :)

not for long though, masuk rumah memang dia excited. Nampak meelo n kak yah.. Still senyum2.. Bila mama masuk bilik utk mandi, terus melalak. Tak nak kat kak yah. Sudah. Pandang pun melalak.. Alhamdulillah harini dah ok sikit.. Back to his normal routine. Hopefully lepas ni dah tak nangis2 lagi.. 10 hari di malaysia melalak2 jer kejenya.. Makan kurang.. Minum pun kurang..




pagi ni pulun tengok CDs.. Masa kat malaysia, semua CDs dia tak mau tengok. Padahal all his favorite cds yang mama bawak balik. Pening tengok kat dvd player yg kecik tu kot.. Even ipad pun, mesti melalak2 tiap kali bukak. Mainly sebab dia nak tengok something, tapi mama bukak something else. So mengamuk. Manalah mama tau apa yg kamu nak anak oii.. Mama kena try bukak all cds/apps sampailah yang dia berkenan.. In between, dia melalak lah ;(. So, lepas hari ke3 di malaysia, mama dah giveup n tak bukak terus dvd player. Ipad pulak time keluar baru bukak..

Lainnya mmg berkepit jer lah dengan mama.. Manja..cranky..tantrum..anxiety suma ada :(. Sedara mara even atuk nenek pun tak dapat nk main dengan dia.. Sabar jer laa..hopefully next visit to malaysia he will recover from this anxiety so everybody could have a nice time..

nanti lah, kalau ada masa mana update the whole stories in malaysia..:)

Amsterdam

5-8 May 2012



Rasanya mama sorang jer kot yg excited about this trip.. papa dengan Z mcm x heran jer pun.. hahaha

mama mmg dah lama mengidam nk g amsterdam, since awal2 menjejakkan kaki ke europe 8-9 tahun yg lepas lagi. tapi setiap kali buat plan, mesti x menjadik jer.. so bila dapat pergi this time, mmg ler over the moon jadiknya ;)

we arrived in amsterdam airport schiphol around 1pm then lepak2 n makan2 dulu before we took the train to The Haague. Untie Nana kan ada kat The Haague, so kenalah ambik kesempatan ni utk melawat The Haague jugak. we stayed there for 1 night.



Memula sampai tu auntie nana bawak pegi Madurodam. Ala2 mini Netherlands gitu la, with lots of miniature buildings. Mmg menarik. Tapi cuaca sangat sejuk. Mama ingatkan cuaca mcm dublin la, sejuk2 spring jer.. Rupanya time kami sampai tu kebetulan pulak sejuk ala2 winter tu.. Kami semuanya pakai jaket spring ajer, apa lagi, menggigil2 laa.. Kesian Z, melalak2 sejuk.

Masa kat rumah auntie nana, as expected, Z mula la buat perangai.. Parent auntie nana pun ada, so mcm ramai sikit lah org.. Apa lagi, melalak2 lah Z. Kesian khaleef (anak untie nana yg berumur 14 bulan), beriaya2 dia nak main dgn Z, tapi Z asik melalak jer.. End up kena bawak dia masuk bilik, barulah diam..Mmg anti sosial betul huhuh



Second day auntie nana bawak ronda2 sekitar den haag, mmg cantik bandarnya.. Z tidur, so x turun kereta pun la.. Then we went to zaanse schans. Tempat ni ala2 perkampungan Belanda gitu with lots of traditional windmills. Harini mama pakaikan Z baju lapis2. So, selesa sikit lah..x de lah menangis sangat dah :)



Then auntie nana hantar kitorang ke amsterdam. Jalan2 sekitar amsterdam city n we had our dinner di malaysian restaurant Wau. Malam baru balik hotel.



Hari ke-3 pulak acara paling mama tunggu, melawat taman tulips Kuekenhoft Park :D. Ni lah tujuan utama mama nk sangat ke amsterdam. Mmg puas hati tengok bunga2, Z n papa layankan jer lah mama yer.. Heheheh
Sayangnya ladang2 tulips semua dh di petik, kalau tak mesti lagi cantik dapat tengok tulips fields. But ini pun dh cukup lah buat mama :)



Petang pulak we took boat cruise utk sightseeing sekitar bandar amsterdam. Sepanjang journey, Z sangat baik sekali. Sebab mama sogok dgn ipad heheh.. Tak peduli sekeliling langsung. Cuma bila cruise tu lalu bawah jambatan baru Z sibuk tengok.. After cruising tu, makan2 then terus balik hotel n jalan2 sekitar hotel jer..



Hari ke 4, paginya x kemana2 pun.. Lepas check out terus ke airport jer.. Bestlah trip kali ni. Papa pun enjoy red light district amsterdam. But to come again anytime soon tu tak la kot.. Banyak lagi tempat yg perlu dilawati di europe nih :D

Susu oh Susu - Part III

Dah 2 minggu Z x nak minum susu sebab flu (mama rasa la). Bukan lah x minum langsung, tapi memang sikit sangat.. Rasanya about 25% of his normal consumption jer kot.. Mama timbang semalam berat Z 9.8kg jer.. Dah kurus kering :(

Papa dah lama suggest untuk tukar susu Z. Sepatutnya bila dah toddler, tukar susu ke stage 2 la pulak.. Tapi susu Z mmg x de stage 2. SMA Wysoy nih mmg from infant to adult. Yg lagi satu brand (Cow&Gate Infasoy) tu pun samalah. Nak tukar ke susu biasa (cow's base) memang mama x berani lagi lah. Lagipun dietitian dia pun suggest untuk try after 3 years old jer..

Then mama terfikir, balik nanti nak kasik Z try Isomil plus lah. Mama dah suruh mak teh g beli
sesiap. Sampai2 jer esok boleh cuba terus. Kalau Z ok, mama ingat nk shipping jer ke sini. But bila check shipping rate, mak aiiii...! For 10 tins it will cost rm400. Tambah harga susu, will be rm1000++! And thats only for about 3 months stock! Fuuuhh.. Mahal betul susu kat msia ek? Kat sini susu baru 10.90 setin. Dlm
Rm45 gitu la..

Dlm masa yang sama mama survey jugak susu kat sini and found out about hydrolysed milk. Susu nih cow's based tapi protein dia dh dipecah2kan so senang nk dihadam oleh golongan lactose intolerance nih. Brand Aptamil Pepti and ada stage 2 jugak. Kebetulan, ada patient papa yang lactose intolerance jugak, papa tanya susu apa dia minum, dia cakap mmg susu Pepti ni lah..

So minggu ni keje mama keluar masuk kedai dan pharmacy untuk carik Pepti. Tak jumpa jugak. Online pun kat UK adalah. Pastu price macam2, but mostly around GBP25 setin!! Thats about 30 euro! Biar betikkk.. Blom shipping lagi.

Anyway, mama dah email aptamil ireland tanya mana boleh dapat susu tu, kot la murah sikit ker kat sini.. Dia cakap mmg x de kat pasaraya or big pharmacy. Pharmacy kecik ada la.. Tu pun kena pre order. So mama g la pharmacy depan rumah lg sekali. Tanya kalau dia orderkan, brp harga setin. Katanya tin kecik (400g) 14 eur. What??

Price wise lagi murah ler isomil kot.. Tapi in term of nutrient, mama kind of prefer Pepti. Mostly sebab its cow's milk which is always better than soya milk. Lagipun kat europe ni quite strict bab2 nk import susu nih. Dulu masa first bawak Z ke sini, memang mama shipping isomil 10 tins jugak, lepas jer lah.. Tapi risau gak takut sangkut nanti..

Kalau pepti plak, thats mean our budget for susu will increase 3 time! Banyak tu.. Hmmm..

Apa2 pun, yang penting which one yang Z boleh minum lah. Beli mahal2 kalau Z x minum, x de maknanya jugak kan.. So tengoklah balik nanti Z ok tak dgn isomil tu.. Kalau tak, kita try pepti la pulak.. Kalau tak juga, minum jer lah wysoy tu yer Z...
