During the school holiday, Emeryn only joined one holiday program which was the Dodomon Projects. It is like a Science type of project where kids can doodle, colour & build their own paper circuit in just a few steps. Interestingly there is a circuit with multiple colour lights and Emeryn requested mummy to try out in our room with lights off. She was overwhelmed with her products.

The rest of the afternoon Emeryn spent her afternoon at Pekaka. Mummy took leave on Thurs & Fri, with the initial plan to clear her leave before it expires. Mummy then ended up bringing Emeryn to LWE and decided to proceed with further test to confirm the cause of Emeryn's frequent stomachache. We reach LWE before 10am and got Emeryn registered. Mummy walked out for a quick breakfast while Emeryn waited for her consultation. After the consultation, we proceeded with the admission process which took us almost an hour. Finally Emeryn was admitted to the Paediatric Ward at about 12.10pm. The first thing the nurse did was to take her blood specimen for blood test. The lunch serving was over once we were done, so Emeryn had her lunch at the kafeteria instead. After the lunch, another nurse came and informed us that they have to re-take Emeryn's blood as the earlier specimen has dried up. What a mistake from the hospital??? Emeryn starts to tear hearing it which causes her to endure another jab. My poor baby did very well thou.

Next test was the ultrasound. Daddy came visited Emeryn about 3pm and that allows mummy to go out for a quick late lunch. Daddy stayed for about 2 hours before leaving. Later in the evening, mummy went home for a quick refreshment leaving Emeryn alone in the hospital. Ah Kong & Por Por came to the hospital at about 8pm and accompanied her till about 9.45pm when mummy arrived. That nite at 12am, Emeryn was induced with drip as she has to fast before her breathe test on the next day. Mummy shared the same hospital bed with Emeryn. Eventually we both had a very disturbed sleep as the baby next to us was having bad cough and screaming the whole nite. Lesson learnt, always opt for a single room.

We basically woke up as early as 5am+. After Emeryn had her breakfast, mummy walked out from the hospital to have her breakfast too. At about 9.15am, Emeryn was brought to the lab for her breathe test. That test lasted us at least 4hours with the pathologist requesting a blow test from Emeryn every 15mins. After all the tests were done, Emeryn was allowed to have her lunch. Ah Ma brought Joel over to visit Emeryn at about 2pm and mummy drove home. Por Por came and take over the role to look after Emeryn at about 5pm+. Mummy went home for a short nap before driving back to the hospital at 6.45pm. Again mummy left Emeryn at the ward for a short while and she went out for dinner. After all, Emeryn really enjoyed her stay at the ward playing with much younger kids. We stayed for another nite before discharge from the hospital at 10am.

That afternoon we went for a durian feast at Balik Pulau with Carmen Ee Ee and her family. After having durians and mangosteen, Carmen Ee Ee & her mum came to our place to hang out. Later in the evening, we all gathered together along with Ah Kong, Por Por & Baby Will for a family dinner. After the dinner mummy sent Ah Kong & Por Por home as they have to take care of Baby Will. The rest of us then proceeded with our coffee chat at The Gardeners. We left at about 11pm, feeling sleepy.

Emeryn attended her Cambridge class on Sun. While Emeryn was at her class, mummy went to Giant to buy the food stuff for the coming week. We headed to Por Por's house after her class and Emeryn spent her lovely Sun playing with Baby Will.
