Victim of HFMD

Finally, Yuxin has recovered from HFMD (but still having bit of cough) and went to school today. On the 26th April, Mommy saw there were some spots on Yuxin's hands, foot and legs while bathing Yuxin. To my horror, I quickly called Daddy to come and see. Oh dear... both of us were very worried. I quickly bath Yuxin and brought her to clinic.

What we had been worrying for the last month had finally came "true". Unfortunately, she caught the disease but god bless that her case is minor. She did not had any blister on her mouth. I must really 谢天谢地 !(Thanks God!)

Although Yuxin has recovered last weekend but she had quite a lonely birthday celebration. Nobody dare to come because people are worried for their children. Only one relative family came. I can understand their feeling. If I put myself in their shoe, I may react the same way.

Quite disappointed! This is the first year that Yuxin understand what is birthday. This is the first year that maybe she can remember what had happened in her birthday. This is the first year that she is looking forward to cut her birthday cake... yet such thing happened. The night before, we were decorating the living room. She was so happy singing birthday song. The next morning, when she woke up, the first thing she did was ran out to living room and sang birthday song.

Actually Yuxin did enjoyed herself. She doesn't know who and who did not come. She enjoyed the presence of her cousins, she enjoyed blowing out the candles (twice some more), she enjoyed cutting the cake and she likes to receive presents. That night, she was so happy playing with her new toys that she played until 1am plus. Maybe it was not so bad afterall.
