Bug Season & The Domino Effect

Yep, its officially Bug Season. All sort of bugs and viruses roaming around out there. My son, Eimran being the victim of the Kawasaki bug. The name indeed sounds a bit amusing (coz its similar to the motorcycle brand) but the sickness is definitely not for me and my wife who had sleepless nights worrying of his illness. Alhamdulillah, that episode is over.

Then, our dear daughter Humaira got the diarrhea bug which caused her to vomit and pass motion several times. But she recovered quite fast after that. Then it was Ihsan's turn to get the diarrhea bug. Poor Ihsan, he lost his weight a bit but now has fully recovered. The Domino Effect seems to be true for my kids, when one gets sick the rest will most likely get infected....

The same thing also happened to several colleagues at the office, whose children got struck by the diarrhea bug & high fever. Which is why I concluded that there are nasty bugs out there. So, better watch what you're eating, wash your hands and slow down on the nasi himpit and rendang. And take good care of your kids as they are the most vulnerable ones.

I suppose kids getting sick is part and parcel of being a parent...No two way about it! My parents also went through the same thing with my 8 siblings, and I just have 3. I am truly amazed at how my parents managed to pull that off!

Makes me thinking whether to have more kids! That one needs to be answered by the Home Minister, Mak Uda....hehehe...
