To the loves of my life...

It's Valentines Day, and since people make a big deal about celebrating it these days, i think it's a time to reflect on the love aspect, not the history of it. Besides, it's not the day that matters, but the reminder that you have special people in your life and you should acknowledge, and tell them you love them.... before it's too late.

And since i'm spending this day in the hospital watching over Muuzi and Mahdi as they sleep, it makes me feel so grateful that they are in my life.

For better or for worst. We are family. :)

Happy V Day.

Letter to my Son #1.

My Dearest Mahdi,

It's amazing to think that it's only been a year since you came into our lives. Since you feel as apart of us as any of our limbs, we can hardly remember our lives before you came.

I remember last year, on this very day when i first heard you crying, i was so overwhelmed with emotions that i, myself started crying... then i finally laid my eyes on you. You were powdery white, perfect except for a tiny scar on your forehead.. others would have been freaked out by this scar, but to me you were still the most beautiful little man i had ever seen. Plus, Tok Mama reckoned the scar made you look like Harry Potter. :)

Ayahanda was so happy to meet you, he was so speechless (which is rare for Ayahanda), and there was a funny incident with your poop, which happened that night while he took care of you because i was resting, it will be my most treasured memory forever.

In this ONE year, We’ve taught you about life, how to clap, about words, music, play, what love and happy means, and about important things such as how to walk and not eat strange objects from the floor.

In return, you have taught us how to be stronger, be more patient, laugh more than our stomach muscles can take, survive on minimal sleep, love deeper than we ever thought possible and pray harder everyday that tomorrow brings us closer together.

You’ve opened our eyes to what real beauty and real happiness means, and our hearts are bursting because you’re in our lives.

Soon you will be old enough to talk, walk and make friends. Remember to always share your toys, be kind to others, even if they are mean to you, keep being awesome like you are now, and never loose your spirit and zest. :)

So, As you grow up, always remember that even though sometimes We are busy, know that we are ALWAYS thinking of you. We are both working hard to give you the best life possible because me and Ayahanda love you so so very much.

Happy Birthday Sayang.

Love Always,
Mak and Ayahanda.

Mahdi VS. Roseola Virus.

Poor boo is sick again..

He somehow managed to contract the Roseola Virus, which is a viral infection similar to herpes (erk?!), Here's some info on the Virus.

RoseolaExanthem subitum; Sixth disease
Last reviewed: August 2, 2011.

Roseola is a viral infection that commonly affects infants and young children. It involves a pinkish-red skin rash and high fever. Roseola is common in children ages 3 months to 4 years, and most common in those ages 6 months to 1 year. It is caused by a virus called human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), although similar syndromes are possible with other viruses. The time between becoming infected and the beginning of symptoms (incubation period) is 5 to 15 days.

The first symptoms include:

Eye redness
Irritability
Runny nose
Sore throat
High fever, that comes on quickly and may be as high as 105° Fahrenheit and can last 3 to 7 days
About 2 - 4 days after becoming sick, the child's fever lowers and a rash appears. This rash usually: Starts on the middle of the body and spreads to the arms, legs, neck, and face.
Pink or rose-colored, Has small sores that are slightly raisedThe rash lasts from a few hours to 2 - 3 days. It usually does not itch.

Treatment

There is no specific treatment for roseola. The disease usually gets better on its own without complications.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and cool sponge baths can help reduce the fever. Some children may have seizures when they get high fevers. If this occurs, call your doctor or go to the closest emergency room.

Thankfully, doctor says it'll go down in a couple of days. But still, i hate to see my boo sick. :(
