Just as we thought this year we will go through December without having Danielle to pay a visit to hospital - We were wrong. This was happen when my helper went for her 2 weeks home leave to celebrate Christmas with her family.

This really made us worry and bring her to A&E for a quick check and not expecting for admitting her. She spend 2 night in the hospital to discover that she was seriously dehyated.

As it was school holiday, we brought Beth to the newly opening Legoland at Malaysia. If u ask me as compare to our Universal Studio in Resort World Sentosa. I will said Universal Studio. The whole day , we were basically under the sun without shade. It was a cloudy day, with slight rain in middle of day. Okay, we can't ask for much as it the time being together as family. But at the end of the trip we were rewarded with a beautiful scenic,  a silver lining at the end of the Rainbow. see below picture. Enjoys!

Cruising together with Danielle

Image
4 years ago during this period of time, Danielle was just 11month old and she recovering from her lung infection. For that I would never be imaging or dream that one day we will able to go tour together as a family. Last weekend, we brought Danielle and ourselves to a 4 days 3 night cruise together with other parents from Club Rainbow . There were about 500 of us. As there were Doctor and Nurse came along to this trip, should there be any medical needs they were there for us. Somehow Danielle through out the trip wasn't feeling comfortable. Most of the time her pulse exceed her usual but sat is normal. She spent most of the time sleeping and this really unusual. After a quick check on her by the doctor, he found nothing wrong with her. Guess she just not adjusting well to the new environment. This trip was a breakthrough for me and my wife that despite the risk and the logistics to bring along Danielle- WE MADE IT !
