Erica Sick

Erica was up in the middle of the night coughing non stop. At first we thought she was having a normal cough until I heard the loud wheezing. Waked hubby up to look on her condition and he decided to attempt to draw out the mucus thru her nose. We tried the 'sucker' instrument, but no success. However, Erica was fine when I held her up but the wheezing continued once I put her down. Since she was feeding and looked comfortable we tried not to worry.

But it was a traumatic incident for me that night - I just couldn't continue sleeping. All the bad memories when Ehsan was sick a year ago started to haunt me. I started telling hubby that I wanted to bring Erica back to Malaysia. Being sick here is no joke for me! I was really afraid if the kids fell sick and I still have doubt over the facilities and the equipment they have here.

Early in the morning hubby and I went to our nice Egyptian paediatrician - Dr. Amanda. After she did her check up, she said Erica had bronchitis. Dr Amanda had Erica on the nebulizer and a prescription. Dr. Amanda gave us 5 days until the next check up to see Erica's improvement. Until then we just had to make sure the medicine was given to her accordingly.

In the mean time both hubby and I were praying for her to get well soon. I hate looking at my kids being sick. I wish I could just take away all the pain...

Pity her....
