Ball Ball Rash

Yesterday the school called(3pm plus), said kieran got rashes all over his body, ask if someone could come and bring him back home.(i tempted to ask:" is he turning green green?" just saw the trailer of Edward Norton's Incredible Hulk, ROCKS MAN!) Then we realised we had not teach our helper, Modesta, what to do when the kids fall sick in school. Thank God for Mel's mother, she was able to help. I found out later that, even with my MIL, kieran refused to go back home. He only wants daddy and mummy. Teacher called Mel, Mel talked to kieran,(no used one, cannot talk to a 2 and half years old kid lah) finally with Kayzia's help, who was willing to scarifice her playing time in school, they got Kieran back home.

When I came back home(6pm), I expected to see a cranky boy, crying in pain with rashes all over. Nope, he was happily jumping and dancing with Barney's music! When he saw me, he went, "see, see, ball-ball, ball-ball, so many ball-ball " like he had a new toy! I brought him to the Simei GP, Doc Chua, who also specialised in treating skin problems. On the way, Kieran kept looking at the ball-balls and kept asking me to look at them. I asked, "you like ball-ball?" pointing at the rashes. I could see it was a very complicated and confusing question. On one hand he loves playing with ball but on the other hand, he felt the itch of the rashes growing all over his body. Finally he went, "dun like ball-ball, ball-ball go home". Even then he kept laughing at himself for having so many ball-balls on his body. Normally he is quite cam shy,(not a problem with Kayzia thou!) but in this case, he was like a proud kid showing off his new toy!

Dr chua confirmed he had Urticuria, (dun ask me is simi, i only know rash), can happened to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No cause, wont spread, just need to take med(Zyrtec oral drop) and will be fine in 24hrs. By 9pm, after dinner, med and bath, the rash is 99% gone. Thank God!



Look daddy look, ball-ball on my hand.


Ball-ball on my face.



Doc Chua gave him a sticker book. Look at how shy he is with the cam.... He didnt cry at all when Doc Chua was checking him. In fact, he was proudly showing Doc Chua where all the ball-balls were!
