Brandon In Hospital...And Ashley Too!

Ashley joins Brandon at Mt Alvernia Hospital today (30 Nov). Ashley has also been sick for 2 - 3 weeks - with similar symptoms as her brother's although her condition is not a bad as Brandon's.

In any case, they are now in the same room - and having antibiotic fed through IV. As for Brandon, the doctor said that his cough is getting worse and they gave him the Nebulizer. His fever is down - so, that's good news!!

Daddy can't be with the kids this week :-( He has to work because he is in involved in the Youth Camp (Dec 1 - 5) at church. So, mommy and aunty Marilyn have to be on shift to take care of them.

UPDATE: Ashley and Brandon may be able to be discharged today (Dec 2) if their fever is under control. As of yesterday night, Brandon's fever is down but not for Ashley. After Ashley's x-ray, her chest is clear but has sinus infection. The doctor said that she will be given some nasal spray and nose drop - and with antibiotics, her sinus can be clear within 2 weeks.

LASTEST UPDATE: Ashley and Brandon were dischaged from the hospital today (Dec 2)

Looks lilke Ashley is in pain - well, actually, she was reluntant to have this picture taken.

Look, they've got a bed specially named for her - "A" for Ashley. Wanna guess who gets the "B" bed...??

Nope, Brandon isn't playing with his X-Box... that's his antibiotic being administered through this device.

Brandon In Hospital 2

Brandon was admitted to the hospital again. He's been sick for the last 3+ weeks with high fever, cough and running nose... And so is Ashley. While on the way home from the doctor yesterday (28 Nov), Brandon got into fits again and mommy had to rush him back to the doctor. Anywaym we decided to get him admitted to find out what's really wrong with him.

He had his X-rays done and found out that Brandon has lungs and sinus infection... And this evening (29 Nov), he was given antobiotics - orally and IV.

Ashley may also need to get x-rayed as well as she's been having fever and cough for the past 2+ weeks.

We'd Like You to Meet Marilyn

Mommy went back to work today (Nov 14) after being away from work for 9 years. As such, Marilyn is now living with us, helping to take care of the kids... she also cooks and cleans the house. She is from the Phillippines and has been staying with us for the past 2 weeks.

Brandon was not very friendly to her initially... but now, Brandon and Aunty Marilyn are now friends!!
