one morning

its drizzling outside and me and the girls are enjoying the cool weather. we're in the bedroom. rob taking her morning nap, gab doing her new puzzles and coloring book while i tinker with my laptop. nice!

it's been almost a week now and my first daughter Raya is still sick

:( fever is on and off. she still have colds. she had our cbc & urinalysis yesterday. and i'd like to mention that she did not cry during the blood extradction. we're proud! :) and since it's our pedia's birthday was yesterday, she can't be reached for the results. even if we do get the results from the laboratory, we wouldn't be able to interpret it, right? here we are so worried because we don't know why Raya is sick and our pedia is unavailable!! anyway, we got the results and ask our doctor friends. thank God for them!! base on the numbers, it seems that it's just a viral thing. thank God!! her ninang also recommended to take paracetamol instead of ibuprofen. since late last night up to now, Raya is ok. hopefully, she will recover completely. and hopefully, our pedia is available tomorrow for another consultation. hay! and hopefully too, none of us will get the virus especially rob since we sleep in just one room. i trust that the breastmilk she got from me for the past 6 months will protect her.

finally

finally, we have a new yaya/helper. yey! she is young, a high school graduate, second child of 9 kids (can you belive it?!!), claims to be an honor student and a scholar. she said she stopped school to give way to her other siblings. she wanted to work immediately to help out in the house. she is from the province of iloilo. most importantly, she had previous experience around the house and taking care of kids. hmmm, does that meet our standards. of course it does. i just hope this is it :)

finally, raya has no more fever. we went to see the pedia this morning. she said it seems like just a viral thing since weather these days is erratic. just to be sure, raya will have to rest and continue her  meds for a few more days. the thing is, she'll miss school for another few days. oh well. better be safe.

finally, hubby was able to make time and clean up raya's toys. there's a plenty! he doesn't like litter. i still have to check inside the plastic where he placed the toys for disposal. just in case there's something that he shouldn't dispose. hehe.

hmmm, what else. so far that's it. i gotta go and visit our laundry shop and corn booth. hope sales are good.

Lord, please help! :)
