Update On Sharlene's Cough

After taking the medicines prescribed by the paed on Thursday, Sharlene is feeling much better today. Whilst I am typing this post, she is singing karaoke with her piao cheh at the living hall downstairs. These 2 gals have been creating so much racket since they woke up this morning. They really have so much energy to turn the house upside down….haha.

Even though Sharlene’s cough has lessened, she still has lots of phlegm when she coughs and her nose is slightly runny today. I can still hear her coughing on and off today. However, I am glad that her night cough hasn’t re-occurred for the past 2 nights and I am keeping my fingers crossed here that it won’t ever come back again. It looks like the meds managed to control her condition and she’s slowly recovering from it. I’ve been controlling her diet for the past few weeks. Thank god, she’s fully aware that she can’t take cold drinks, ice-cream, certain fruits and other cooling stuff because of her cough. Just now when she saw her cousins drinking cold milo, she asked me to make her a cup of hot milo instead. Didn’t want to disappoint her, I made her half a cup of diluted hot milo and she happily gulped down the whole cup. :)

I brought Sharlene to the hair saloon this morning for a haircut. Her new haircut is pretty short this time. At first I thought she would protest as she has been telling me the other day that she wants to keep her hair long, just like mummy. Somehow I was surprised that she didn’t and followed me to the saloon willingly. When she was there, she even chose the hairdresser that she likes by telling me that, “Mummy, I don’t want this cheh cheh to cut hair for me, I want the other aunty to cut.” Actually I also prefer the hairdresser aunty to trim Sharlene’s hair as she has better skill than the younger one…. I quite like her new boyish look but my poor gal looks a tad skinny now especially her face. She has lost a bit of weight :( Just hope that she will make a full recovery soon.
