fun ranch

we went there last feb 17 pa *~kaya overdue na tong post na to ~*.  after his check-up from his pedia we went there.  since saturday sya sobrang daming tao.  nataon pa na may parties dun. mama waited for us outside the play area while ako naman habol ng habol sa anak ko.  at first dun lang kmi sa soft play area pero nung huli we tried na dun para sa mga big kids.  i made him ride the big ball *~di naman sya bumitaw ~*  we also tried the big trampoline when it was empty.  the most tiring part was when we went inside the the play frame to get to the slide.  imagine, kailangan kong sumuot sa mga butas na designed for kids para makasunod sa anak ko *~and doing it several times~*.   when we got to the slide, aba iiwan ako.  kung di ko nahawakan mag-slide sya mag-isa. hay grabe.  pero eventually i made him try it on his own. nasa kabilang slide ako, mag-kasabay kmi.

we were there for 1 1/2 hours pero 1 hour lang ang bayad ko.  nakalimutan ko bayaran yung excess namin. ala rin kse nag-check nung lumabas na kmi.  so sorry na lang sila.  pareho kmi napagod mag-ina.  syang nga lang i wasn’t able to get more pictures of him while playing. mas busy kse ako mag-habol, dami kseng kids eh tsaka lagi ako tinataksan

batya

i didn’t buy johann a new swimming pool this summer.  waste of money kse madaling masira.  kaya sa batya na lang sya.  double purpose pa.

will look na lang for a much bigger one than the one he’s using right now.

1.  Hindi Ako Bakla by Tom Yam

~*side kwento*~ 

natuto syang mga-count backwards sa top 2.

i let johann watched the top 1 kse funny sya.  before he just sang the line “pare pare. papapapare-pare”.  but now iba na, yung chorus na mismo.  out of the blue bigla syang kakanta ng “hindi ako bakla”.  paulit-ulit yun.  may times pa huhubarin nya yung damit nya pati diapers tapos kakantahin yung chorus.  ang kulit talaga.  tawa ng tawa si rudney nung narinig nya.  mula nun di ko na pinapanood sa kanya.  mayayari ako eh. 

cab

we were supposed to go with my tita’s family papunta ng church nung palm sunday, attend sana kmi ng 2pm mass sa st. peter.  kaso nung aalis na sila tulog pa johann. so sabi ko alis na cla.  so nagbihis na ako ng pambahay.  kso ala pang 5 mins clang nakakaalis nagising na johann. so nagbihis ulit ako tapos inayos ko gamit nya then binihisan ko sya then nag-cab kmi papuntang church.  buti naman behave sya mula bahay hanggang sa sakayan. di naman nya ako tinakasan.  then sa cab nag-sit lang sya. 

this is the first time na nag-cab na kming dalawa lang.  walang tiwala kse c mama sa akin na kaya ko c johann.  everytime na sasabihin ko na punta kming mall mag-ina kontra parati c mama.  sobrang likot kse ni johann.  johann is not the type na behave pag nasa mall.  he’s not like other kids his age na clingy sa parents pag nasa labas.  he’d rather run around the place as if it’s his playground.  sobrang likot.

ate weng

that’s what johann called me when i arrived yesterday.  *~tajhing and i went to hidalgo to have my camera repaired~*  his exact words were “bye ate weng” even when i just arrived ha.  we were laughing, my tita and my cousins.  narinig nya kse nung tinawag ako ng cousin ko.  so i asked him “bless kay ate weng”, nag bless sya.  “kiss ate weng” nag kiss naman sya.  then i asked him “kiss mommy” nag kiss naman sya sa akin.  nung kwento ko kanina kay rudney tawa sya ng tawa.  ang kulit na talaga ni johann.

sick week again

**-overdue post 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

this time 2 days lang.  johann was hospitalized again due to vomiting.

2/26.  around 2pm my sister called me para sabihin na may lagnat and nag-vomit si johann.  they’ll give him tempra daw.  hindi pa ako worried nun.  so work pa ako.  around 2:30 tumawag si mama and sabi since morning wala pa pala kinain or inom na milk si johann.  last nyang milk eh 6:30am, ako pa yung nagpa-inom.  yung nilalabas nya eh yung kinain pa nya nung sunday.  dun na ako natakot.  dalhin na daw nila sa er ng medical city.  so i called his pedia, since may clinic sya that time dun ko na lang daw dalhin.  wait daw nya kmi.  nag-undertime ako sa office and meet ko cla mama together with my tita and johann sa medical city.  nag-cab lang cla kse coding ang sasakyan.  pag baba nila ng cab kinuha ko agad c johann.  ayaw bumitaw sa akin ni johann. kahit sa mama ko or tita ko ayaw sumama.  pinipilit namin mag-water ayaw talaga.  nakatulog sya while waiting for our turn.  pagpasok sa clinic nagising na sya and check ng pedia yung lungs tsaka yung sa tonsils.  di nya pa ma-determine ang problem she recommended na magpa-urinalysis and cbc.  she also gave us 2 options.  one is we can take him home but we have to give him oral rehydration salt every 5-10 mins para di ma-dehydrate.  two is ipa-admit namin para di ma-dehydrate at the same time mas ma-monitor sya.  i chose the 2nd option.  his pedia tried to discourage me kse mas magastos tsaka i-dextrose kse si johann.  pero sabi ko hindi nya iinumin yung ors.  we tried that before.  tsaka ayoko na yung nangyari before na nagpabalik-balik kmi ng hospital.  so she accompanied us sa er.  after endorsing us sa er she told me to text her the room number, visit nya kmi tomorrow morning.  i gave the attending physician sa er yung baby book ni johann para di na ko masyadong tanungin.  i texted rudney to inform him.  madaling araw nun kya i’m not expecting na mag-reply sya agad.  mayamaya lively na si johann.  kanta na ng kanta tsaka kung ano-ano na ang sinasabi.  para syang walang sakit.  tinawag pa nga nyang mumu yung dr na kausap ko *~naka-mask kse yung  dr~*.  nag-drink na sya ng water.  sabi mama, wag na kya ipa-admit.  we tried feeding him milk.  ininom naman nya kaya lang wala pang 1 minute after mag-milk nag-vomit na naman.   sabi ko kailangan talaga ipa-admit.  umuwi muna si mama para kumuha ng gamit namin.  i left johann with my tita sa er para kumuha ng room.  after paying the downpayment they gave me a room number na.  habang kinakabitan na sya ng dextrose, i hugged him tight para di maglikot tapos kinakausap ko rin sya.  i tried singing yung mga alam nyang songs to distract him from the pain.  sandali lang sya umiyak tpos sumabay na sa akin kumanta.  after nun hatid na kmi sa room.  mga past 6 na nun.  sumaglit yung pedia nya to check on us.  she told me to feed him anything he wants except softdrinks.  around 7 dumating na yung dinner nya, tinolang manok.  buti na lang may sabaw at napakain namin sya.  bitin pa nga eh. naubos na kse yung sabaw.  around 7:30 dumating ate ko may dalang fries for johann, chicken naman for us ng tita ko.  then dumating na mama ko kaya nakapag-palit na ko ng damit.  tumawag na that time si rudney, so kwento ko sa kanya yung nangyari.  i slept sa sofa while si mama sa tabi ni johann.  then around 10pm sinundo kmi sa room kse need daw ipa-xray si johann.  based kse sa cbc result may nakita sila na nag-point na may problem sa lungs.  pahirapan nung i-xray sya ng patagilid.  ayaw na humiga dun sa kama tapos sigaw ng sigaw.  hawak sya namin ni mama pero ang lakas nya.  tumawag na ng guy para humawak sa braso ni johann while ako nakahawak sa paa.  nakaka-awa sya nung natapos na, pagod na pagod. 

2/27.  medyo malakas na sya kumain pero mahina pa rin mag-milk.  his pedia visited us and told me na it might be pneumonia based sa cbc and xray, though yung sa xray nya medyo clear naman yung lungs nya.  i told her na nag-poopoo sya last night ng medyo basa.  she told us na tomorrow morning na lang kmi umuwi para ma-continue yung gamot tsaka observe pa sya baka kse may gastroenteritis ulit eh.  from time to time ina-update ko si rudney.  play lang kmi nung leap pad nya and watch ng tv the whole day.  gusto na nga tanggalin yung dextrose kse di namin sya hinahayaang mag-lakad sa loob ng room.

2/28.  start na kmi mag-pack ng gamit kahit ala pang advise na uuwi na kmi. habang nag-pack c mama kumuha ako ng wheel chair para ma-ipasyal ko si johann dun sa corridors.  behave naman sya sa wheel chair.  dumating pedia nya ala kmi sa room kya hinanap kmi ni mama.  check nya ulit johann then she gave na the order that we could go home na nga.  then  we’ll be back on 3/10 sa clinic nya for his check-up. so i settled na the bill. before going home dumaan muna kmi ng pharmacy to buy his antibiotic. by 2pm bahay na kmi.  mga 4pm tulog na johann hanggang morning na yun.  di ko alam kung pagod ba sya or dahil sa gamot.

the next day, sobrang likot na. akala mo di na-hospital. hayy, ang bata talaga.

cake

last monday 3/26 i bought a small cake from ribbon. why? wala lang gusto ko kseng kumain ng cake. i was supposed to buy slice lang sana but i thought of surprising johann with a cake and this time with a #2 candle.  nagulat din si mama pag-uwi bkit ako may cake. so sabi ko wala lang. hehehe. so i went upstairs and lit the candle. i knocked at at our room. when i opened the door johann pushed the door to close. buti na lang na-ilag ko yung cake. so i knocked again. when i opened it this time i started singing “happy birthday” which got him excited and his smile was from ear to ear and he was clapping and singing too.  when i asked him to blow out the candle, ayaw ba naman.   eventually blow din nya then sabay “yehey”. as usual he doesn’t want to touch the cake and he also doesn’t want us to touch the cake.  we made him taste the cake, nung nagustuhan na nya he wants me to feed him using my fingers.  hay nandidiri talaga sya sa cake. manang-mana sa akin sa kaartehan.  haay…
