Weekend Round Up

I expected that Sandy will get sick before or on her birthday. It happened for the last two years so it would be hoping too much if she didn’t get a fever at least this year. However, I wasn’t expecting that she’ll catch a stomach bug which made us rush to the hospital the night of her exact birthday. After her birthday party at home, I gave her dinner because she was hungry. She then complained that her tummy is aching but I didn’t worry too much. After two hours, she threw up while she was sleeping. I still didn’t panic because honestly, we’re used to this. I was a bit pissed off that it had to happen on her birthday week though. As if she doesn’t deserve a break. :( Anyway, she threw up 4x in a span of one hour so we rushed to the UST Hospital. Even though Makati Med is closer, we’re just not confident that Sandy will receive the best treatment there.

So to cut the story short, she missed her two birthday parties – school and Hospicio de San Jose. We just told Hospicio to proceed with the party even without Sandy. The Husband dropped our donations (there were plenty, thanks to those who donated) and more party prizes for the kids.

I really feel bad for Sandy. She was so looking forward to seeing Jollibee dance and having another party. Good thing we were able to invite kids in her party at home so she still had fun blowing the candles and playing with them.

Yes, that’s the Barbie doll’s gown

One good thing about this is that The Husband and I lost weight. I was close to buying Anoretix for him but I guess he wouldn’t need that now. Well, for a couple of weeks, at least. I doubt if he can keep the pounds off now that we’re home and eating normal food again.
