The miserable month of March ... but He has won it all!

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."

Happy Easter everyone! In short, Easter is all about Victory! We celebrate victory because He died and rose again! He died for us, He rose again, alive!

The month of March has been quite miserable but it's also a month to celebrate victory. To celebrate life.

First, little A was down with fever, cough, flu and phlegm and she recovered exactly after 7 days. 2 weeks later, which was last Thursday, she was down with fever AGAIN, no traces of cough/flu/phlegm which was quite strange. Isn't she just recovered last 2 weeks and now the fever is back? What caused the fever then? She has no diarrhea, eating as usual but lesser portion, vomiting only when she's crying/taking medication ... so, what? We waited for few days and on Sun evening, we decided to bring her to ER for a checkup since her temperature was quite high. We did blood test and the result came out to be normal. No signs of infections. Blood count is normal as well. So what then? We were all left clueless and were told to play the waiting game. Wait till the 6th day and see if she recovers from her fever, which is tomorrow. I always remember her PD saying that if baby is having fever continuously for 3 days, then it is not normal and should bring her for checkup. We thought it's HFMD so we waited for the symptoms to appear, but she shows no signs/symptoms of HFMD and on the 4th day, we decided to bring her for a blood test. Conclusion, we do not have a conclusion.

Praying hard that we can keep this file closed today, that we do not have to play the waiting game, all I want is for her to GET WELL!

Being in ER is absolutely terrible! You see nurses running around taking medicines, young man wrapped up with blanket, grandma on the bed having difficulty breathing, uncle pushed to ER with many tubes connecting here and there......

Life is a miracle! Being healthy itself is already a Miracle!
Let's not take health for granted.....

My weakest point in my life, to see someone falling sick and asking why it's not me.. But Jesus took up the sicknesses of the world, died on the cross for us, for our sicknesses, iniquities ... for OUR EVERYTHING. That we may rely on Him and believe that ALL IS WELL because HE HAS DONE IT ALL!

17 Months old sweetie!

When my friend's baby first learn to talk.. Im just curious how on earth they understand what their child is babbling.. The child is not even speaking properly, a little word here and there and how can they understand?

Today, I got the answer. Many times we don't understand a situation until we personally stepped into it.

Answer. The parents instinct! Parents spending time together!

The more I communicate with my daughter, the more I understand her. Even though she does not speak a full word, I still understand. I know what she wants.
Lately she has been so cute! Her vocabulary grows and she's learning fast! We teach her one word, she speaks the same word the next second. If the word is too long, like Elephant, she will just say "e-phant". Isn't that cute enough?

At 17 months old, she begins how to express herself. When she wants you to carry, she looks at you, stretches out her arms and says "Ry" (carry). When she's hungry, she says "milk". Or when she wants water, she says "ter". Whenever she can't see papa in sight, she will point her fingers to the door and says "papa". Whenever she wants to get down from the bed and goes out from the room, she will say "down" and then "out". Whenever we say "kai kai", she will say "shoes". She loves to wear her shoes and goes for walk! She sees me carrying handbag and she says "bag". I just can't wait for the day when she knows how to tell me how she feels in that particular day. Or whenever she's not feeling well.

I'm loving her more and more! She's one cute little bub that melts my heart in everything that she does. Sometimes she can be super clingy and wanting my attention so much, but the moment she comes near me and hugs me and sits on my lap ..... I'm melting at her manja-ness, I leave my work behind, join in together with her and savour the sweet moments, because.. this moment does not last forever! Time passes by too fast.. she's growing and when she goes to college, I'm gonna miss this moment so much! Oh yes, I think too far!! =p
