Princeton sudden cough & flu

Monday, Princeton boy had slight fever, but recovered soon the next day. Many of his classmates were sick, many were coughing and sneezing when i fetched him last week. Was praying that Tian's immune system can be strong enough to resist those unwanted virus. But still...... today he suffered from the cough and flu bug:(

I had been guilty that i did not breastfeed him when he was an infant. If not due to my unbearable wound pain, i would have breastfeed him at least 6-7months, just like xin. That's why i would do everything that will helps him in his health. 

Many parents would save alot for their children, so do we. I'm proud to say both tian&xin got  5digits savings figure. But whats the point of saving so much when we don't provide them a better and a healthier lifestyle when we can actually afford??? Medicines for examples, parents rather feed them with endless coughing syrup than to seek alternative to Chinese medicines. Even our family doctor told us before, western medicines would harm their livers if taken very often.  Infants and toddlers should refrain from these colorful thingy unless its high fever, then no choice.

I hubby about the sudden cough from Tian. After work, he immediately went to Yu Ren Sheng and bought 3packets of Hou Zhao. Each packet cost 78 bucks! Daylight robbery isn't it!!! I am not working, and we don't belonged to rich income family. But still we would balance which is more important, children's health or the extra savings in the bank?

We are taking serious consideration about getting a home cleaning system. The 'Rainbow' delivers clean, water-washed air to your home while you clean. And more than that, the Rainbow can deodorize or aromatize the air in your home. Especially our beds and pillows..... the dirtiest part of a house is our bed, because we don't wash/bath them. Changing bedsheets alone definitely is not clean enough!! Imagine u don't bath but change clothes only? Yucks.... That's explain why we got all the breathing problems, esp the children! I had discussed with hubby, he will consider and i believed he will put the children's health in the top priority.

Money can be save again. But children's  health cannot wait. Of course those who really cannot afford, then no choice. But if we can, then why wait? Or would you rather to keep all the money in the bank and see your children fall sick? Of course no right?? There's a saying, Money that can solve a problem is not a problem.

I really pray Princeton boy can recover soon, but am glad tat he is still very active learning and playing:)
