*monday 27/3/06* what a day it was dear. lets start from the very beginning. we were gonna meet amalyna. *sings* just the 2 of us. we can make it if we try. just the two of us..
destination Sembawang. duration 15-20mins. unfortunately we took 1hr. first 15 mins taken to settle you in the car comfortably sleeping. moved off. another 15mins pit stop to hush you again. moved off. upon arrival another 10 mins to settle the coupons and a balancing act of 1bag, 1 pizzahut box n 1 car seat wit a baby in it. to the 3rd floor appartment we went. ding dong. we made it phew!
but to see those smiles.. i would do it again...
going home was a breeze as you were tired from playing. at 7pm we went to the GP for your very first vaccination. i can see abah having the jitters coz he hate needles. i am very proud of you dear. sure you cried but only when you were poked. then you were fine. awww thats my gurl...
happy birthday to missyE. happy birthday to you...
Vaccination woes
*tuesday 28/3/06* you are running a fever so we went to the GP to get the fever medicine. had a long chat wit Dr Jenny. nice lady. i am happy i made a decision to get the 6in1. seeing your sick history you need a doctor's attention. i did my homework with a senior nurse at the polyclinic the other day. she was very obliging and my research is complete thanx to her.
now there is a new vaccine for DTPa + IPV + Hib its called 5in1. but then we also have to take HepB. so they come up with the ultimate 6in1. heres the difference:
5in1(polyclinic) <=> 6in1(private or hospitals only)
costs $85.80/jab <=>....................costs $98.00/jab
no fever <=>..................................no fever
4 doses <=>...................................4 doses
HepB 2 doses <=>.................................included
MMR <=>.................................included
the 5in1 at polyclinic is not subsidised even for civil servant. we still have to take a total of 7-8jabs while 6in1 is only 4jabs. plus its hassle free (only walking distance to GP), short waiting time (as compared to polyclinic even with appontment), a doctors care (not a nurse administering the jab then queue again for doctor), need i say more... of course i get to claim $$$ all of it from my work... hee..
still you are running a fever when the odds are 1 out of 1o babies will get it. with a doctor at my disposal i know my baby is in good hands. also less jabs = less chances of fever panic...
