Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

It’s been just a little over a month since we moved to Jakarta, and guess what?

We *finally* received the whole ‘welcome gift’ set : bacterial and viral infection =)

And it hits everyone.

We’re either taking antibiotics, vitamins, Sambucol, Antangin (Indonesian medicine =), Panadol, Paracetamol, Chlormine, … you name it.

And yep, Brie needs to be nebulised again (Thankfully we have the machine at home so we can nebulise her every 8 hours to help her deal with her phlegmy and chesty cough)

[No, none of us are having diarrhea though]

I shared our family’s current ‘status’ on Facebook, and other than the well-wishes which I really appreciate, I’m grateful too that some of the comments left reminded me how :

– This is just a phase where our bodies are adapting to the new environment (ie. The air and a lot of other things are generally not as clean as how things are in Singapore)

– This is a way for our bodies to get ‘stronger’, ie. We may be sick now, but afterwards, generally our bodies end up stronger because of better immune system.

Yes, I hope our bodies become stronger when it comes to fighting bacteria, germs and virus day by day here =)

PS: Some shared to me how they also felt sick within a month or so after moving to Jakarta for good. If you’re in similar situations, do share yeah …
