That’s how Jonathan would go singing while looking for his toys…“Find, find, find…everywhere. Find, find, find…everywhere.” We are planning to send Jonathan to school next year.

Samantha is back home from hospital last Thursday after her readmission for 16 days. We hope the hospital won’t be our second home. It’s quite scary in the hospital as you would see all kinds of patients with some having metabolic disorder like Samantha. The first thing that came to mind is will Samantha be [...]

After spending 6 days in NICU, finally Samantha got the green light from the doctor to be discharged last Saturday. She looks chubby and rosier upon discharged because of the IV drips. Hope she continues to be chubby and have rosy cheeks like Mommy. Not only she managed to gain back the weight she lost but [...]

Since my last post about Samantha’s vomiting spell, her condition worsen where typically no food can stay in her stomach. She got thinner and lethargic. We brought her for a review yesterday and was prepared to get her admitted. Good thing she vomited in front of the pediatrician and he could see how forceful is [...]
