12-18 Dec 2011

Charlene is sick the whole week after catching the virus from me.

She was coughing and sneezing and had a lot of phlegm. The worst is she coughed so violently that she vomited milk. We were busy clearing up and doing lotsa intensive chest physiotherapy for her. It was a bad week. Blended food has to be put on hold and many exercises could not be done, not just because Charlene is sick but also because of her biological clock shifting again. A few days, I was rolling her in the middle of the night at 3am, which is really crazy.

On Wed (14/12), I brought her to KKH for an appointment with the sleep clinic. I was told to do a 3-day sleep oximeter at home as a preliminary trial and some data for the doctor to work on. A more detailed overnight sleep study has been scheduled for April 2012 in KKH.

During the visit, the doctor put an ice-cream stick in Charlene's mouth to check her tongue and the sleeping Charlene complained loudly and waved her hands frantically at the doctor. The doctor and nurse were pleasantly surprised by Charlene's reaction. They both known Charlene as one that is always sleeping and non responsive. I thanked God for Charlene's responses.
