Paris down with bronchitis :(

Thank God, Princeton boy had recovered from his fever which comes together with cough and flu. But unfortunately, these had been spread to Paris.... my poor little 心心。。I understand from the doctor that there are different cases of bronchities. Infants/toddlers usually get bronchiolities, which involves the smaller airways and causes symptoms similar to asthma. We were relieved to know that Paris wasn't suffering from that... phew... what she had was acute bronchitis. This is caused by a cold or influenza (flu). That's why i never want them to sleep in an air-con room. But still it happened :(

We did the right thing by bringing Paris to the TMC on time. She had an xray, and needs to be on inhaling medication now. She was my brave girl, didn't cry and shout like a baby. She was afraid initially, but was okay when her brother sing and dance to her. Princeton was encouraging her, he would cheer Paris on by saying 妹妹加油! This is siblings bonding.

Paris needs to recover by Saturday. We got to bring her back for another checkup, to hear if her lungs are still with phlegm. If yes, then she got to be admitted. Private hospital very kiasu one, even though not very serious also want us to get admitted. I will do everything to ensure Paris speedy recovery.

My mum was very upset for Paris condition. I blamed myself my neglecting Paris too. The maid must had let her cried for so long, and end up coughing. But come to think about it, i cannot blame the maid, i cannot blame my mum. I can only blame myself. Yes, mum was suppose to oversee for me. Yes, maid was suppose to take good care of her. BUT, so what?! When things happened, don't point fingers. When the children fall sick, ONLY the parents are at fault. (Whether the parents are working, or staying at home) NO ONE is obligated to ensure your children's health. We ourselves got to ensure. Our parents, or parents in laws only help us in overseeing,  or give us a helping hand. Actually, they are suppose to play with their grandchildren only. Don't expect parents/maid to help you from head to toe.

My mil once offered to help me in taking care of Princeton and Paris while i was preggy. But i rejected her offer. Because i wanted to see the little Ps every night, i wanted to tight them to sleep and feel them every night.   




This incident had upset Zhenyu alot. He doted this princess so much. He even emphasized again, can i stay at home and take good care of them. Forget about working! I told hubby that I'm sorry Paris ended up so sick. I promise i will ensure the children's health. Let me work and let us strive with determination.
