Iman & Kakak

Thanks for all who left encouraging words or sharing of experience. (refer my previous post on 'Iman's Speech Disorder)

*hugs*

I may not know all of you in person but yet I feel close. And it's a relief to know that I am not alone facing this problem. At least I know a person or two who I can turn to for information and to learn from their your experience.

Anyway.

Kakak has been absent from school a good whole week last week. She was down with fever and gone thru 3 blood tests. First reading of her platelet (sp?) was 160, which was near borderline. Second reading sent us rushing to Atfal and went straight to APSH. It was 121, under borderline. In APSH, another test took place and it came to a relieving 180. Nevertheless, as were trying to breathe in relieve, her temperature shoot up again Friday night. She's well and going to school today.

This morning, I sent her to school. Normally the caretaker in Atfal would do that. I walked her to the gate and told her I'd walk her up to the canteen. I thought she'd like that. Nebertheless, she refused and told me to just leave her at the gate and she'd go by herself.

I don't know how to balance between letting go and cherish her independence or to keep her like a baby to me forever. I thought a drop or two of tears came out. I don't know for which reason. Maybe for both.

salam,

ummi, kakak sebaya anak saya, Batrisya.

sudah 7 tahun mereka sekarang.

masa kecil dulu kita yang pegang tangan mereka masa berjalan.

sekarang nak pegang tangan pun tak bagi, malu kawan-kawan nampak. nak cium dan peluk lagilah malu. nanti kawan-kawan kata anak manja.

kdg2 buat kita sedih.

tapi kita sepatutnya gembira kerana mereka semakin berdikari. :)

oren ~ hmmmm jugak *terkenang anak2 di nursery*

ummibatrisya ~ it's a mixed feeling rasanya. kdg2 diorang dok meleseh2 manja ngan kita, kita lak tak tahan melayannya. bila diorang menunjukkan tanda2 indepence, kita lak yang sedih. saya lah tu. kdg2 simple things yang dia nak buat, membuatkan saya sebak. dah besar anak ummi...

Yelahkan..kadang2 x de masa nak layan depa meleseh2,sebab rasa derang dah besar..tapi kadang2 kesian sebab rasa mcm sisihkan mereka dan lebihkan adik.Mcm tulahkan anak sulung...memang kena banyak berkorban + berdikari.Sebagai Mak...kita memang nak sangat bagi yang terbaik...;)

komen entri sebelum: memang ENT tak boleh assess hearing function. memang kena jumpa audiologist. rule of thumb, 1 thn 1 patah perkataan. kurang, perlu perhatian. dah pergi ke?

kemon entri baru: memang. semua orang sama. terima tak terima aja. walauapapun, masa berlalu... dunia berputar. :)

abi ~
entry sebelum - dah pegi jpa audiologist. hearing excellent so kena buat assessment lain pulak. suggested buat speech theraphy., kalau tau kat mana yang bagus, pse inform me yek.

entry ini - ye lah, masa beredar, anak2 semakin membesar. bila ingat2 balik masa dia baby dulu, syahdu rasanya.

speech therapy: mana-mana hospital kerajaan ada pakar terapi pertuturan nih. HUKM ada, HKL ada. cubalah pergi ke klinik pakar ENT di hospital tersebut.
