Nadine had her first ever stomach flu last week.
In the wee hours of Thursday morning, she threw up non-stop, so Daddy took her to KKH A&E. Mummy was away in Delhi, and Daddy was worried that Nadine would throw up in the car again, so had to ask Bibi to go along (with a pail). Which meant they had to bring poor little Aaron along too. Apparently Aaron was most cooperative. Did not cry a single bit in the hospital, even though they were there for more than 3 hours, and he was hungry and tired.
The stomach flu also caused Nadine to have diarrhoea - again, her first ever. But she recovered quite quickly, and was her usual chirpy self during the day on Thursday.
On Friday evening, Aaron started throwing up. He threw up 5 times within 1 1/2 hour. But because he's still so young, the doctor only gave him probiotics. Poor boy couldn't keep anything down, and was so hungry the whole night.
The 2nd child really doesn't get a good deal at all. Nadine was never sick in her first year. Not even the slightest flu, nor any mild diarrhoea. Aaron, at 7 months, had gone to the doctor numerous times, had to be nebulized, had been hospitalized, had his first stomach flu, with non-stop vomitting and diarrhoea. Poor baby!

It's so true... Lu had 10 doses of antibiotics in her first year cos she fell sick whenever her gor gor did. But after the first year, she fell sick a lot less. Build up immunity earlier maybe.
