Polo is still a baby

Started this post: August 7

I've been excited how much Polo is growing by leaps and bounds. How his motor and physical milestones have been manifesting. How tall he is vs his age group. Then, I would go back to reality that my son is still a five month old baby. He should be treated and looked upon as a baby and nothing more. I feel it whenever he cries and yup it is true a cry can pierce one's heart. My son seldoms cry. I mean really cry. Most of the time as I have mentioned before Polo would just smile or laughs. Sometimes, he would also express his boredom or frustration but not really crying as in crying. Wow. His cries are as powerful as his smiles and laughters. Honestly, he seldoms complain lying down or just sitting on his bouncy chair or carrier kaya I don't mind picking him up whenever he cries and quickly stops crying once he is in his daddy's arms. We would listen to his night music and a little bit of slow dancing and then off he goes to wonderland. I could place him right away in his crib or on our bed but I most of the time would just like to cherish these precious "kodak" moments.

Polo was earlier diagnosed to have a "suspected asthma" which greatly alarmed us. Wow! Not Polo our dear baby. I was so worried that I paused for awhile before was able to say anything. My mind just started to wander and got me to a cold and bitter world that I knew I had to stop myself from lingering in that place. Stop. I listened and asked the doctor about the things we needed to do in order for it not to progress or something. 1. Medication 2. Clean surrounding from any allergens including his stuffed toys (we already bid them farewell). 3. Pray that it isn't Asthma after all.



We bought the prescribed medicines and it was a costly weekend for us really. Thank God that we had enough to purchase a nebulizer and the medicines.



The following day we noticed that he pooped more that than he used to. I wasn't home and when Josephine shared it me I panicked again. Diarrhea is not good especially with babies. You know, we can't read their minds the only thing we can do is observe their behavior and their physical well being. No confirmation from Polo if he feeling this way or that. I was in Marikina but I readied myself to bring Polo to his real Pedia (the one we consulted the day before was the Pedia of a friend because Polo's doctor was attending a seminar). While driving, I called the doctor who prescribed the medicines then she said that it was actually normal and expexted but should not be more than 7x. Polo didn't reach that number. I ended up watching The Simpson's instead. But we still should have went to see Polo's Pedia. Because.......



Sunday came, Polo had rashes all over his body and he was really irritated maybe because of the itch basta he can't be pacified quickly. Worry worry worry.. what if it affects his breathing and he might choke because of the allergic reactions. We tried calling the doctor but she wasn't answering the phone. I had to leave our bedroom to relaz myself because I can feel that I was panicking and I am not really someone who easily panick especially in emergency situations (I know, I have experienced some life threatening moments already) but this, man and considering that Polo's condition isn't really on the top chart as something very dangerous.
