Growing Pains

Mummy was very worried when my Cutie told me that her right hand cannot hold her toothbrush for long.  Mummy recalled that sometimes she will say that her legs hurt after walking a while and recently, she says her right hand doesn't have the strength to carry her bag.  The other day, she has also dropped things a few times while at the supermarket.

So went to see the doctor when during her appointment for the second flu jab.  However, this doctor gave Mummy a bigger scare, saying to bring her to KK Children A&E immediately and may require an MRI.  This really sounds serious.

So we had our lunch first before going home to change (as it can be quite cold in the hospital) before getting a cab to the hospital.  Throughout the time, Mummy was really worried but could not call Daddy as he was having an exam in the afternoon.  At times, Mummy wanted to cry out loud, thinking that she's just only 5 years old and thinking about the worst scenarios that I've read online.

Really have to thank the doctors at the hospital.  Their initial assessment was nothing serious as compared to that assessed by the doctor at the clinic.  However, just to be on the safe side, my Cutie underwent an x-ray of her hand as well as a blood test.  So our whole day was spent at the hospital and we had our dinner too while waiting for the blood test results.  After that, brought them to the playground.  Haha... see how much my darlings have grown, the playground seems to be too small for them now.

Mummy was relief that the blood test result shows that everything is fine.  The doctors diagnosed that this little Cutie is, in fact, experiencing some growing pains which are felt more in some children.

Mummy is glad that my Cutie is fine.  What a scare!  We can now look forward to our tour in September.
