God is so good!

These two days alone at home with Joash have been better than I expected. God has seen me through cooking meals, doing housework and taking care of Joash despite my bad sore throat which makes me rather lethargic. My medication makes me all the more exhausted.

Joash has also been down with his very first flu. I brought him to the doctor but he told me that there is nothing to be done if he is still drinking milk and sleeping well. Yet, it breaks my heart when I hear him struggle to get rid of the phlegm or mucous that is stuck inside. Every breath seems laborious to him. Thank God that he is slightly better now and is able to breath less noisily unless he is hyper-ventilating due to the exertion of squirming around. May God heal both of us completely soon...

Joshua had been such dear to me. Knowing that it is really taxing for me to be on alert the whole day, he agreed to take over all of baby's care so that I can rest and recuperate at night. All I need to worry about is to breastfeed him then. I really hope that I can get used to the daily routine and recover from my illness so that he doesn't have to take the whole night shift and I can manage part of the night by myself. It must be so tiring for him! God is so good to give me such a wonderful husband!
