Rough | 2011

One of a parent's worst day is when their child is sick. Whether it's a simple cold or a high end fever. Jakjak had been having a rough cough for almost a week. The first batch of medicine had done nothing for him, unfortunately. He is now on round 2, with antibiotics included. We're all hoping that this round he wins over the coughs.

I'm quite afraid that he would have to go see a specialist doctor if this goes on through to next week. It's not about the consultation fee or the medicine, he is covered by insurance after all. It's the burden of the cough that he has. It's not a normal cough. I can tell just by the sound of his breathing. It's difficult for me to see him suffering like this. I know what it's like because I was like what he is now when I was about his age. A stubborn kid who dislikes medicine and doctors (which translates to: your going to get worse before you get better).

We'll have to prepare an incentive for him to get better soon. At least to make him eat more and drink his meds.
