Happy CNY 2010!

Jayden's mummy :- "We went back to Kuching for CNY on 10th Feb this year. This time we'll be flying wid Malaysia airlines and first time boarding through Terminal 1 KK.

Honestly i felt so lazy to update ahDen's blog and my own blog lately, due to ahDen being sick for so long and not really getting any better. When we went back to Kch, on 11th we brought him to see a Chinese physician. He was given some medicine considered as tonic to improve his lungs. On the 12th, hubby said to bring him to Kuching Specialist Hospital to see a paediatrician called Dr. Siew Hueh Fen. Not really putting on high hope, we went early tat morning, as early as 8+am!

Dr. Siew is a very nice doctor... no tension really as like meeting your 'discipline teacher'! I showed her my little booklet of ahDen's previous record of all the medicine he took. It's really a very good habit of jotting down all the medicine names and dosage, so to all mothers-to-be, if you happen to be reading my blog, do make it a practice to jot down all your child's medication record even if it's juz merely flu & cough!

Her first comment was 1st week of taking antibiotics and since it showed no improvement in the child, we should stop the antibiotics cause it means tat it have no effect on the child. But ahDen was taking the same antibiotics for 2weeks! Juz to cut things short, he was 'neb' 2 times tat morning.... with a difference of 5minutes in between. He was wailing and kicking and struggling, and it was really terrible but thankfully after being nebulized, he was so much better. The wheezing sound lightens, and he was breathing much easier then.

The most surprising thing was the BILL! With all the medicines given PLUS using the nebulizer twice, it costs us RM131.80. It was really so much more reasonable. When i realised tat the Flixotide and Ventolin evohaler wasn't prescribed, i went back to the doctor and asked for her prescription. It was totally different from Dr.Chan where she juz prescribed me with all the medicine, not considering or asking even if i still have any left. Totally a waste of money, and now i have tonnes of unfinished inhalers stacking up in my room here!

Another surprising thing is the charges for both the inhalers. Back at Dr.Chan's clinic, i remembered the Flixotide evohaler alone costs RM89. But tat day, for both the Flixotide and Ventolin evohaler it only costs me RM76.45! So much more extras for the overcharging doctor and yet my son didn't get any better!

We went back for a follow up on the 17th Feb, and truthfully the antibiotics prescribed this time really does work on Jayden. It's pretty obvious he is feeling so much better now. I dunno how relieved i felt, and hubby too.

From medical aspects, Kuching really do have better doctors than KK. No offence, but we have more medical centres and specialists in Kuching than in KK. Perhaps tat's why you'll meet some ridiculous paediatrics here. Of cuz, i don't mean all the paediatrics in KK are like that. I still like Dr. Terry and Dr. Liaw who are always more reasonable and to me, it's more professional!

Sigh! I juz hope ahDen will be healthy always and growing up fine in this year of the Tiger. "
