I Love U

Malcolm is finally learning how to speak a few words. Simple single syllabus words like 1, a, b even Mandarin ‘love u – wo ai ni’. He really brought big smiles to grandma and granddad when he said that to them.

Had been busy taking care of Malcolm and packing our things to be shipped out this week. Malcolm’s fever is getting better but he is having very bad cough since Sunday. The cough is accompanied with runny nose. The MMR vaccine was really potent, as he has never fell this sick before. Now I start to wonder whether it is really safe to follow diligently all the immunisation jab. With each jab, we are actually introducing bacteria and viruses into the young body…what if it is too much for the kid to handle and develop into something more serious. I read that some of the symtoms for measles include fever, nasal congestion, red eyes and coughing, develop three to five days before the rash. So far he already had most of them except red eye and rash. Thinking whether should bring him to the doc tomorrow as I am afraid that the cough will develop into something worse…like bronchitis or pneumonia. Pray that he gets better tomorrow.
