Thenaliraman poonai

Neha is slowly recovering from stomach flu and cold. Her appetite is still not good but when did she like food... Otherwise she is doing ok. Finally I had to go to my mom's place and take her to the doc who was her paed till I came to my in-laws' place. She said I should not have given the medicine that the skin doc prescribed for rashes(he diagonsed her with atopic eczema). The rashes have disappeared on their own though some appear after she gets from sleep and disappears soon after that. I would have litreally fallen on her feet for saving the baby. She was in such a bad shape. Severe diaorrhea, vomitting, severe cold and rahes all at the same time. She had to take 5 medicines 2 times a day for 4 days. At the end of 4 days she ran away the moment something was brought near her mouth. Poor thing. Thenaliraman poonai vallaththa kadhai ayiduchchu.... Each time I think of weaning her and getting back to work she falls sick and I end up giving her additional feeds and start all over. Lessons learnt: dont give any medicine for skin allergy and go slow on weaning.

It happens with every first time mom. Tip is not to panic and decide based on our emotion. Think and decide.. It always helps
