It so happen than i have to take care of Caca in this holiday season, for the past week before the holiday season she began to lose her already small appetite. she barely eat at all through the day lucky is that milk time is still steady
suddenly at wednesday she wake up with a cry and completely iritable mood, i notice that the lower lip is a bit swollen, quickly her mother assesed and found at least four tiny aphtae. oh know.. i said to myself..she can't be inherited it from me ! ( FYI : i am easily develop aphtae w/o a minor trauma ) it would be very painfull to bear
later we found out that the upper lips is also involved a total of 6 aphtae with 2 "mother aphtae" in each lip. my poor baby.. she can't even talk, so no milk ,no food, for the rest of the day, we try to use gentian violet tough, at night she conceded a glass of water and slept out of tired crying all day
the next morning is much of the same, may be to gain comfort she insist (by sign lang) to be hold by nobody but me, i tell you its a back breaking job, to carry her with her fav pillow, around the house and the neighbourhood, lucky she sometime ask to have a walk inside her three wheeler, lucky too that she agree to be accompany by her granpa, meanwhile i lay a bit..
sundown brings her tantrum back, because she insist to go outside, i am started to think for help, its red in the calendar, already Isya to late to find a doctor in town, so i think of ol' Cipto pediatric emergency ward, thanks to my fellow telepatist Intan for the help there. all ini all is that night i spent near 300 grand so caca can fall in sleep..
Friday armed with kenalog and a powerful dose of CTM, i won the day, caca conceded a bottle of milk and bread, with decreasing iritability still unable to or afraid to talk
Saturday even better we saw her smile again, another bread and a lot of strawberry milk from Real good a.k.a susu bantal :) i said to myself, i can cope with high fever, diarhea, constipation, allergic symptoms but please not multiple aphtae again for such a young baby, it hurts me deeply, physically and emotionaly.
