Exhausted
Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2008 at 05:28 PM in MyPrecioussss
ohme ohmy. What a hectic week.
Aidiin is recovering from his chicken pox. Alhamdulillah. No new spots have formed, at least not that I know of. I think they've stopped coming out since 2 days ago. Now the spots have started drying up. Some looked like they've just reduced in size (becoming tiny dried up dots) and slowly disappearing (read: no scars, Alhamdulillah). Some garu-ed sores have crusted over. I hope those big ones don't end up leaving crater-like scars. Some crusts have fallen off, leaving little pinkish circles.
Apart from administering doctor-prescribed medications, I have been diligently bathing him with the air kunyit (I think this somehow helps dry up the poxes, don't ask me why), and applying calomine lotion after that. He complained that it is tiring for him to lie down and wait till the lotion dries up. He'd whine, Aidiin penaaaat. I told him, Ibu pun penat juga sebab kena sapu ubat kat 'dot-dot' Aidiin semua. To which he replied, Aidiin lagi penat 'besar', meaning he is MORE tired. heh heh. Kelakarlah badut saya ni.
But he has been very very active (banyak 'reserved' energy dia ni), always running, not walking from one point to another. He'd take out ALL of his toys, specifically his Th0mas & Fr1ends collection and build one railway track in his room, then another one in the family hall, and one mini track in my bedroom, betul-betul depan pintu bilik. Merata-rata ada gerabak kereta api, trucks, signals, carriages. Semestinya menjerit kesakitan jikalau terpijak salah satu.
Then there's his Th0mas & Fr1ends books; yang untuk coloring, yang easy-to-read, yang special edition (thank you aunty Zan *wink*), yang ada stickers, yang activity books, yang ajar counting, yang kecik, yang besar, yang "Look & Find", yang "Tell the Time". Yang tekan button boleh bunyi-bunyi pun ada. Pening kepala tengok. I have given up trying to tidy up after him. Nasiblah.
And of course, time-time sakit ni, TV pun dia conquer. Pagi petang siang malam, dia nak tengok VCD Th0mas. Ada kisah Th0mas jatuh dalam snow, Th0mas berlumba dengan Bert1e the bus, ada yang pasal Th0mas dan kawan-kawan tengok fireworks, ada yang pasal tertinggal trucks. Not including all the other stories about the tank engine's many friends. Ada pula VCD untuk sing-a-long. Sampai dah masuk dalam kepala Ibu lagu-lagu semuanya. Time tengah shower, ternyanyi lagu "Little Engines", masa tengah sidai baju tetiba ter-hummed lagu "Jame$ & The Red Ball00n". Time nak terlelap, terngiang-ngiang lagu about "Salty", the diesel engine and his tales. Alahaiiii.
Th0mas watches as I update my blog
One challenge I faced was trying to keep the sick sibling away from the healthy sibling. It's almost impossible actually. I can't force Sofea to stay in her room, locked up inside all the time. I tried to reason with Aidiin not to get too close to his sister because of his 'dot-dot'(s) but he deliberately ignored me. They would stay apart for maybe a while, but I'd later find them playing together (Sofea pun cannot resist playing with her brother :P) or watching TV together, or he'd be hanging out in her room while she finishes her homework. So, in the end, saya tawakkal sajalah. Allah Maha Besar dan Maha Mengetahui, Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang. I pray and hope she does not get it coz it'll mean she'd have to miss school and all that, what with exams coming up in 3 weeks, but kalau dah ditakdirkan berjangkit, then what to do. But so far, no signs of the disease spreading to another member of the family. Alhamdulillah.
The polka dot prince is asleep right now, which gives me some time to write this entry. I managed to get him to take a nap, after some err... extreme objections. I washed all his pillowcases, blankies and tilam covers today. It's a very bright sun-shiny day to hang clothes out to dry.
Helmy and Sofea are out, attending a kenduri in Putr4jaya. Remember last week's kenduri in Jas1n? Well, this week is sebelah pengantin lelaki. They'll probably be back late tonight. I was actually looking forward to go, but who'll take care of the chicky pox darling? I'd reminded Helmy to bring our camera along and take many pictures.
It's about 29 minutes past 5pm now. I'd better go solat Asar before the polka dot prince wakes up from his nap.
