What is the best liquid to drink when you are sick? Not water, not juices and not isotonic drink. The best liquid to drink when you are sick is BREAST MILK! 
Everyone knows that breast milk helps to strengthen our babies’ immune system. I read somewhere recently that an old man that was very sick got his health improved after drinking breast milk (not straight from the source ok! 
).
And you know what, my 2yo knows which is the best liquid for him to drink when he was having fever just few days ago. He refused to drink water, does not want 100Plus either which he will drink even when we prevent him from drinking when he is healthy, does not want barley drink either and definitely no formula milk for him. All he wanted was my breast milk. He clings to them almost the whole day. Amazingly his temperature return back to normal the next day.
I still have not tried giving my breast milk to my older children when they fall sick. I must try one day and I will let you know whether it really work on them. 
My house is awfully quiet when all of my 5 children naps; like right now. I can even study about the document management software in peace. And there will be no crying or screaming when my no. 2 is not in the house. Without her there won’t be much laughter too! She is the mischievous one and a cheerful girl.
I thank God that He blessed me with good children. Even when they are sick, they don’t make much fuss about it. Either they will sleep and sleep or play till they sweat it out. Administering paracetamol is not a problem too like most children. They will willingly drink their medicine. The best part is they will listen to me when they are sick. Drink lots of water; they drink. Eat your fruits; they eat. Sorry, no chocolate milk; no fuss. Go rest and sleep; they sleep.
I cannot ask for more. 
I think, I should get a shoulder stabilizer. I injured my shoulder when I was in school, playing softball. Since that, too much stress of that shoulder will give me sharp pain. The pain came back again when I started sewing. I have stopped sewing for a few months and the pain went away. Unfortunately, it came to visit again a few days ago. My not so newborn; 3mo already is getting heavier and wants to be nursed longer. That causes stress on my shoulder and I started to feel the pain. 
One of the good thing about sending our children to school is that we can get cheap insurance for them; something like short term health insuranc NC. But that is only for PA. I am contemplating whether to get family health insurance or not. The last time, one of my sons was hospitalised for a day, it cost us 1k. It is either health insurance; ticket to private hospital for good services or government hospital; good facilities but limited specialist. As for now, since we still can’t afford health insurance, we will head to GH if any of us fall sick. We thank God that He has keep us healthy thus far.
My almost 2yo baby got his first blister due to holding a hot iron yesterday when we were having BBQ at home. He grabbed the charcoal holder which has just been used to move the charcoal in the BBQ pit. All of us were either busy BBQing or eating to notice this lil rascal of mine heading for the hot rod. I hope he learnt his lesson and would believe us when we tell him that this and that is HOT.
If any of you gave to a baby with cleft lip or cleft palate, one of the reasons could be Topamax. Topamax is an anti-convulsant used to treat epileptic seizures in children and adults, and is also prescribed to prevent migraine headaches. I know that during pregnancy, we often experience headaches. Try to avoid taking any medication when you are pregnant. You never know the side effect of it towards your unborn child. When you experience headache, drink lots and lots of water. It helps get rid of the headaches. I tried that.

The nurses in my time and my mom’s time are very different. They have transformed from a monster nurses to angel nurses. Thanks to the ISO certification with one of their policies of being patient friendly. If any of the patients issued an official complaint/s, SIRIM will cancel their ISO certification. All their handwork will go down the drain.
Every single thing that they do must be documented. From buying cotton nursing scrubs to how they treat each patient. For example, when they want to buy nursing scrubs they can only purchase them from their appointed supplier/s. They can’t buy nursing uniforms from a new supplier even if their must is way cheaper than their appointed supplier until that new supplier has been audited.
There’s pros and cons having a ISO certification. The customers will be satisfied if the organization really follow the procedures but the administrative staffs are not happy with lost of paper works.
I am still breastfeeding my 22mo and at the same time my newborn baby girl too. I enjoyed being able to experience tandem nursing but the downside of tandem nursing is, my body lacks of calcium and I have not been eating enough food that gives calcium and always forget to pop in my daily multivitamin especially the calcium supplement. Due to lack of calcium, one of my molars that has a filling in it has got decay (i think) because it hurts when I chew my food on that molar. I still can’t find the time to visit any dentist yet.
Recently I noticed that my husband is bigger and broader. One of his friends commented the same too. And his tummy bloats too. From what I’ve read, the best creatine supplement won’t cause any bloating. We are still puzzled about the sideways expansion.
Normally, during my confinement, hubby will put on weight because he will help me finished my confinement food. He will look fat with a more rounded body and face but this time around, his face stays the same but he has broader shoulder now. Maybe it is due to aging eh? The fat goes elsewhere as we grow older.
On Monday morning, right before the last in laws depart from our house, one of their children saw our dog’s hind legs was shivering uncontrollably. He looked very sick too. We suspected that he ate the poisoned left at the fish pond by one of my brother in laws for the monitor lizard. The monitor lizards have been feasting on our Tilapias.
So, how to save the poisoned dog from dying? MIL said not to give him water as that will expedite his death. Then I remembered what my father did to our dog who accidentally ate poisoned bread. He forced feed the dog with lots of coconut water. To this day, the dog is still alive and healthy.
Told my MIL about it and she made the poisoned dog drink coconut water from 2 coconuts. A few hours later, the dog was up and walking about and to this day, he is still alive. The coconut water saved the dog.
Why coconut water? Well, do you know that coconut water has the anti-toxin properties? And it helps to boost your immune system too. Don’t believe me, go Google about the benefit of coconut water.
