Rashes update 2
His outbreak of rashes started on late Saturday, SUnday full blown , Monday subsided a bit.
Monday was a happy day for Shaun as ah yi , yi zhang and gua ma brought him to North POint Splash Park!! He had so much fun running around, playing iwth the water. And his rashes all disappeared, so strange. The pimply rashes were still there but not red at all. maybe because of the cooling water. When he was back home, mum let him soaked in bath tub with a green bean water and bamboo salt water. A little bit too warm to touch, so his face turned red again. Nevertheless, he was still feeling itchy so we diligently applied calendula cream all over his rashes.
Tuesday, we went back to KL!! And his redness were all gone, he no longer felt the itch. A little itchy once a while only. However, his arms left all the scars from his scratches, and all the pimply rough rashes were still on his face, although no more redness. And it din bother him at all, still actively playing and felt very happy running around, and exploring my home in KL< ehhe.
Today, I'm going to bring him to see PD, to confirm what rashes this is. Why bring to PD eventhough he has fully recovered? Because I want to know whether this is Measle? German measle/rubella?? or fifth disease? or just simply heat rash?? If they were measle or rubella, then he can opt this vaccine out liao - as he has not had his MMR vaccination yet.
Going to see Dr. Khoo at SS2 - 70 year old PD who saw me when I was a kid!! hehe.
I have lots of doubts because he has no fever, no other symptom at all. Other than his flu episode which happened 3 weeks ago, which were so mild that he recovered by his own. I will tell Dr. Khoo about these later.
================
Back from PD. He said they were viral rashes. So just give anti-histamine to stop the itch and some oilment to apply on his scratches. Dr say it's nothing serious.

Back to KL!!
We started our journey at 12pm, reached Tangkak near to 2pm. Had lunch and visited my cousin's baby. We departed to Melaka at around 4pm, to my brother-in-law's hometown. We had great dinner with BIL's family at a famous local restaurant. Ordered 5 dishes, RM 135 only! What a cheap and good deal. We brought putu piring ( very nice!!!) and departed to KL. Reached KL around 10pm.
Shaun was very guai throughout the journey!! He only wore pamper from his trip from SG to Tangkak, and from Melaka to KL. Other short term journey was diaperless!
Last weekend he was also diaperless when we went kai kai! I let him pee before we departed from home, and went toilet again after we reached our destination, then asked him whether he wanted to pee again before we departed home.
No failure /bocor at all!! Good job Shaun!
Think I have successfully toilet trained him. As for his nap time/bedtime, i will still wear diaper for him la, until one fine day when he wakes up dry... hheeh

Rashes Outbreak - Fifth Disease? (Erythema infectiosum)
Oh no, after reading up more about hives, Shaun's rashes din quite look like a hives, and it actually seems to look more like Fifth Disease instead!!
because his cheek was so red .. just like what i saw here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythema_infectiosum
http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/fifth.html
And i read from another site that the rashes outbreak happened after mild fever/cold. And yes! few weeks ago he has got mild fever, not even a fever cuz it was less than 37.5 degree. And he has got runny nose.
So, is Shaun really having fifth disease/Erythema infectionsum????????
Actually I was quite skeptical with the Dr's diagnose yesterday as he din really look carefully on Shaun's rash and said "HIVES" liao.

Rashes Outbreak - urticaria(hives)? heat rash?
My darling started having some rashes on his neck on his back on Sat after his nap. Then at night, I saw some red spots popping up on his face. I was very concerned as I have never seen this before. On Sunday morning, he woke up with rashes outbreak all over his face, both hands, and starting on his legs. It looked worse than his Roseola time, cuz they were red and looked like in patches, and this time it was itchy!!!
He was still active, eating well. Rashes din bother him when he was busy doing something or playing. But when he quiets down, he started to scratch. Very poor thing when I saw this as I scared he scratched till his skin peel then when he came in contact with water he would sure cry.
I brought him to see GP, Dr said it was hives. But it’s not contagious.
I think hard what might be the allergen. Exposed to sun? I brought him to playground on Saturday morning, and he perspired a lot, but also his cheek was super red, like got burned under the sun like that. When we walked back home, we passed by lots of trees where he picked up something, could be from the tree, and threw to the bin. At around 3pm, he ate lots of raspberries and grapes ( keep asking somemore). He napped at 4pm and woke up scratching his back, and I saw many bumps!! Looked like insect bites. Then the outbreak started off since then.
Although he was still fine, but being an anxious mum, I always got worried. Yesterday his cheek were so red and looked swollen, my heart was very pain lor. Anyway , we had great dinner at Vegsenz and he ate a lot! He didnt scratch at all. Then when we were in the car on our way back, he started scratching here and there. I kept blowing and helped him scratch. My heart was very pain! He was such a good boy, and never cried and threw tantrum although the rashes were terribly itchy. How I wish the itchiness were passed to me. When we were back home, he was busy playing, sweeping floor, I knew his rashes would flare up in no time cuz he would perspire and be heated up. So I quickly switched on the air cond. At night, during bed time, he scratched then fell asleep. At 4am, he woke up to scratch too. I felt so terrible. So today I asked my mum to bring him to TCM at Yishun. The nanny said he could be very heaty so it was expelled out in the form of hives. I’m not sure, wanna seek TCM’s advice then.
Shaun, you have been a very brave and good boy! Mummy knows that you are feeling just fine just that the rashes itch but it still makes mummy’s heart pain. Itchy Rashes, pls go away ok?

Speech Development
Shaun has improved tremendously over the weekend and I’m not so worried now.
Now he can say everything after us, even singing. But that is saying after us.
As for his own saying , now, he counts 1,2 and 3 clearly. 4 and 5 not so clear yet. Other than many words that he can say by himself, he can form a better sentence now.
Previously , he will say mama, nei nei, meaning mama makes milk. Now, he can say, papa , makes nei nei (ie requesting papa to make milk)
I heard him saying this too, aunty where? = where is aunty? first time saying "where" yesterday.
He was asking for tou2 many times yesterday, and I finally sorted out that he was asking for his pillow ( zhen3 tou2). He is still omitting some words out hehe.
