Road to Recovery

 

  Day 5

Day 8

Emeryn finally recuperating at home along with mummy taking care of her on Mon. Nursing Emeryn was a tough job as she was still in pain even after discharged from the hospital. Mummy has to be so gentle each time handling her to avoid her from whining. Mummy took a day off from work on Mon and half day on Tues afternoon just to nurse her sick baby. Aunty Mei and Flo came and visit us on Mon evening, bringing some books for Emeryn. We did a set of jigsaw puzzle together and they both decorated Emeryn's cast before leaving. 

Mummy went to work on Tues morning and dropped Emeryn at granny's work place, the daycare. Emeryn sat at the daycare while waiting for mummy to pick her at 12.30pm. We bought some food home for lunch and dinner too, as mummy would not be able to leave Emeryn at home alone to go out and grab a meal. At home we still managed to capture some of Emeryn's photo and minimally she can still smile for the camera.

Mummy went back to work fully on Wed. she dropped Emeryn at granny's work place before heading to her office. During lunch, mummy went over to the daycare to check her out. She made new friends there and happily talking to them. Great news was she has finally overcome her pain and able to move slightly more flexible compare to the earlier days. Mummy left Emeryn at Pekaka after her work and headed to Popular to exchange the books. She then headed to the Big Bad Wolf sale and managed to buy 4 books for Emeryn. By the time she picked Emeryn from Pekaka, it was already 9.30pm. Emeryn fell asleep almost immediately upon reaching home.

Mummy starts sending Emeryn back to her own daycare starting on Thurs. In the morning, she went to granny's workplace and mummy came picked her during mummy's lunch break. We met up with daddy at Green Lane and guided him to Emeryn's daycare. It was his first time there, at the new center. After settling her down, mummy and daddy went back to work. Emeryn was coping fine at the daycare. That evening we were supposed to have story telling session but Emeryn knocked off when mummy was at the shower. The next day, she spent the whole day at her daycare. Mummy sent Emeryn to Por Por's house on Fri evening as she went out for a quick dinner with her friend. It was so tiring carrying Emeryn up the flight of stairs at Por Por's place. Mummy returned at about 10.30pm but Emeryn was already asleep. Emeryn screamed aloud when mummy tried to wake her up and brought her to the car. Mummy kept on talking to Emeryn all the way home to avoid her from falling asleep in the car. With her current condition, it is impossible to carry Emeryn while she was asleep.

On Sat we went back to LWE and had Emeryn's follow up. She had another x-ray. Doctor commented that Emeryn is recovering well and she still need to wear the cast for another 2 more weeks before further review. The doctor gave Emeryn a 2weeks medical leave. Aww, it means we are still far away from freedom, freedom to walk around. The doctor scheduled another follow up two weeks later. After the hospital visit, we headed over to Cheers for a small celebration of Emeryn's recovery. Mummy bought the online deal earlier and we both had set lunch. We went home after our lunch and took a nap. As for dinner, mummy bought from the Malay stall besides our apartment.

Despite Emeryn's condition, we still went to Por Por's house on Sun for our usual Sun visit and dinner. Por Por gave Emeryn some porridge to bring home as she knew it was Emeryn's all time favorite.

The road to recovery is definitely a tough one. We went through many hurdles, tiring moments and frustration but after all we take it as a test. It's a part of growing up and we're sure Emeryn would learn how to take better care of herself moving on. She now know what's pain all about and she is learning to endure it. She is definitely my tough lil' cookie.
