Bronchitis (Day 5)

When I thought Shannon was recovering well from Bronchitis, she starts having runny nose. J came back with bad flu last night and Shannon is having fever today! Well, I am not sure who actually passes the virus to whom! Sometimes, I couldn't help it but gets really frustrated! Ever since we re-located here, both of them have been falling sick again and again. :(

Today marked another TORTURING DAY for Shannon at the Therapy Center. She started to whine when we entered the center and started "CHANTING"


Mummy I want carry, Mummy I want go home, Mummy I want Boots and Dora,

NON STOP! LIKE A JAMMED TAPE! -_-'

During the therapy session, the therapist laid Shannon down and started forcing choking her to vomit her mucus by massaging pressing her chest and choking her with one hand and the other hand at her stomach pushing upwards. I was helping to wipe away the mucus she vomitted. I tried to hold back my tears as my girl looked like she was going to choke to death. T.T Then the therapist "shot" one syringe of water thru her nose and start choking her again (Total of 3 times!!!). I think she vomited out almost a cup of mucus!!! I believed Shannon must have really traumatized from the whole procedure, as she was crying so frantically in my arms after the whole massage thingy.

After she settled down, therapist began the neubalizer treatment for her again. As usual, with the mask on her mouth, she cried asking me to carry her. "Sigh" I think she somehow knew that I wouldn't be carry her no matter how much she pleaded thus her cries was on and off this time. Or rather, tears were dried up or simply just too tired to cry after the "choking" session earlier. We went home after the treatment and will be going back tomorrow again. :-( Well, after the mucus/phelgm was forced out, her cough was indeed much better. :-)

Luckily all the medical fees are reimbursable over here. Or else really "pok kai" liao.. I heard J mentioned this afternoon that we have 800 Euro of medical fees (including some IVF fees) to claim back!! And I have not paid a single cent to the Therapist yet!
