Delayed Departure

It feels like a Deja vu. Chamu was sick for one week just when we were leaving for our RTW trip in June and we had to cancel our trip to Beijing and reshuffle our schedule. Today, just a day before our flight to Barcelona to resume our RTW trip, he was hospitalized.








He has been having coughs on and off for about one week. It was almost gone when we came to HK but in the last two days, he started to cough really badly. Last night he couldn't sleep at all and was up screaming from midnight to 8am. Later we noticed that he had shortness of breadth and decided to take to hospital for a check.

After examination, the doctor told us that Chamu may have bronchitis or asthma but the best thing to do is to get him checked into hospital and put him on nebulizer. Of course that means putting our trip off for one more day. We took the last bed in the hospital (I guess this is season when a lot of kids get sick) and Chamu had to take a chest x-ray. He also got his blood drawn and was scheduled to be on nebulizer every three hours. He is a good trooper though, very strong and brave, making it a lot easier for his parents. Tonight Jaime will sleep with him in the hospital and hopefully tomorrow we can bring him home...

Last day at Fuhsing!
