We're Back Home

Sorry for not updating sooner, had my hands full past week. Gabe is finally back home with us. He was discharged on 15th Feb. It was a long 4 nights stay with him in the hospital. Bed so small n crampy, i could not sleep well at all.But all's good now, we're adjusting back to life in Tokyo. Gabe has lost abit of weight. when i carried him in the hospital, his poor body seemed so light n thin, broke my heart. He weighed about 5.7kg just before discharge. Previously before the incident, he was about 6.2kg. So now our goal is to fatten him up, but he seems to be having some problems drinking the amount he used to drink, so it's gonna be a slow one... But the upside is that he now can sleep without much assistance. Afternoon n morning naps, i put him on our bed and lie next to him. He'll play n whine, then fall asleep. Nights i just pat him abit after putting him down and he cries abit sometimes, but falls asleep in about 15mins..big big improvement compared to last time when i'd have to pat n rock n sing him to sleep. His neck muscles seems to have weakened slightly especially in the hospital.. when i carried him he seemed to have trouble holding it upright. I think it was due to the weight loss and probably a little weak after the surgery. Now though it seems to be improving much. He's definitely more sensitive after the op..not sure why. You cannot scold him at all, esp at night. He cries at any little scold or nagging.....pouts way way more. Yesterday we went for our first outing since coming back to Tokyo. Terry brought us to the Premium Outlet. Wow, it was huge and freezing as it was open air..I bought myself a Nike sweater and Terry got himself a pair of Adidas shoe...err Gabe ended up with nothing, that's coz he has too many already... I'm not feeling too well, having bad sore throat n cough. So ain't gonna do any outings next few days. Not wishing to fall sick esp flu as it'll pass to Gabe and he doesn't need to deal with that now, so hoping to get enuff rest n get well. Some pics.... This one was about 2 days after his op, we visited him and found him playing with his legs:)
All bundled up in 3 layers to go kai kai
His litte haven at home where we dump him to have some time out...

  1. Hi Gabe, it is good to see you trying to entertain yourself. You do look a bit thin. You must drink more milk so that you will grow faster. Hugs and kisses.

  2. Hellooooo Gabe! It's wonderful to see yr photos again. Of course, after a stay in hospital, naturally you become thinner n more sensitive to remarks n scoldings! So mummy, be more patient n loving to little Gabe k. Try to feed more n get back to your chubby state. Grandma loves n misses very much. God bless you baby.
