Chamu the Stuffy Nose Reindeer

Chamu had his first Christmas party this afternoon. He had a lot fun (according to Dadu since Mamu couldn't join) with his friends who together were all dressed in outfits that for sure will embarrass them when shown at their weddings some 20 years later (but they are too innocent to care or resist now). Little did Chamu know he had a doctor appointment waiting for him after the party.


He has had a stuffy nose since Sunday. He cannot breathe well and he has been refusing to eat and been waking up frequently in the evenings (somehow he always has excuses to wake up at night). At the doctor's office, they had to suck his nose with this machine and that freaked the heck out of him (and also Mamu who couldn't even bring herself to be in the same room when the nurse did it). He was a trooper though and stopped shrieking the minute the procedure was over. Chamu still has a running nose after we get home and we desperately want him to get better before our flight this Friday evening (would be quite painful if he cannot equalize at takeoff and landing). We had to give him his medicine tonight, hoping he can sleep better (it makes him drowsy) and get better. Hopefully Mamu can also sleep better and not to have to worry about Chamu.
