Skyler’s Still Not Well

Dearest Skyler,

Papa asked for childcare leave today to stay home to help care for you.

You slept most of the morning away and woke up about mid-morning. You woke all of us up and you appeared to be a bit better after your sleep. However, we still didn’t dare to feed you your milk as we were afraid that it would trigger off another round of diarrhoea. You woke up asking for more of the Freezer Pop and we gave you what we had re-froze from last night as quite a bit had melted before you were done and you didn’t want to drink it.

We asked Aunty Chris to get you some bean milk as she had gone off to the market this morning. When she came back with it, we fed it to you and you took a bit. Thankfully, you didn’t boom it out.

We decided to take out Bubu and Moh-moh’s train set for you to play with. They had wanted us to open it for your birthday but we wanted to put it in your room when it was ready. However, as we still don’t have help to move the furniture and since you are not well, we decided to let you play with your new toy! :D

You were very sleepy after a while and we put you back to bed. You slept for a straight six hours! :p

You were decidedly better when you woke up. You had more energy and definitely much more alert. We fed you some bean milk and plain bread as we were still worried about your diarrhoea. You managed to eat and drink most of what we gave you. You also asked for more Freezer Pop so we gave you a new tube. However, you didn’t like the taste of the orange one so Papa had to eat it. We gave you a new blue one which you totally love! When you boomed, it was still watery but it was not as bad as yesterday. Thank God!

Mama was still exhausted in the afternoon so Papa watched you while she went back to take a nap. Poor Mama!

Papa and Mama love you!
