Two weeks ago, big man was coughing. He belittled the ability of spreading the cough to the little one. He refused any treatment for the first week, played closely with Ryker and even blow his breath at him. I was glad when my preaching managed to seep into him. We finally got over the counter kind of cough syrup which managed to relieve the cough. Who knows out of the bluem the cough came bk. I asked about the mixture and he said he had finished it with his colleague who's having the same symptoms. I went to get the second bottle of over the counter syrup. It finally got worse when he brought work back home and slogged his way till wee hours. It was a Sunday. He finally got really sick the following Monday. Saw a GP and was given antibiotics plus the potently drowsy cough syrup. The cough subsided for a few days.

On Wed, I noticed the slight cough from the little one and the recurrent cough from the old one. I probed. He said he had already finished the cough mixture as well as the antibiotics. On Friday, the little one coughed more frequently. I gave Yida warning to get his cough cured. Still turned into deaf ears. Fearing for the worse, i went down to the car at 10 plus pm to dig out the second bottle of Robitussin from his working bag. A row of unfinished antibiotics was discovered by me! To my anger, i questioned him and he defended hiimself. The date on the meds couldn't lie. He gave up and blamed on his blurness. I reprimanded him and preached again about being responsible as a parent.
Ryker rejected the bottle on Friday. We thought he was just being naughty. We thought it was the temperature of the milk.

On Saturday, i made use of the wee morning to bring MuFFin for a swim while letting my mil babysit. She told me he rejected the bottle again. I tried. Same thing. I latched. Cough was more significant. Without further ado, we went to PD. Regular flu with upper respiration irritation. The whole of Saturday night was sleepless. That man worked at home till 2am, claiming that he wun have to stay at work till very late the next day. I believed him but he lied. He went to work at 730am till 9pm on a SUNDAY. Ryker's cough got worse and he seemed to be breathless. Asked Yida to call PD and she said she wanted to see Ryker again just to make sure the lungs are ok. He's not around to bring us down. End up i took a cab to and fro with mil. His cough mixture was changed.

The whole of Sunday wasn't easy at all and i was left alone to handle it. I am also starting to sneeze. Thanks to the insufficient sleep, i'm compromising to the flu from Ryker and Yida i guessed. I was extremely upset with Yida coming home so late on Sunday night. He did tried to pacify me by helping me wash the pumps, volunteer to change diapers and all. But i'm still not happy.

On Monday, he worked till 12 am! And again i was left alone to take care of the sick child. Not to forget i'm sick as well. Nose was runny.

Yesterday, his boss gave him morning off to rest. So we went to see doctor again. Yida got new antibiotics and i was given babies' kind of medication due to breast feeding. I was VERY drowsy. Luckily, my mum helped me babysit in the afternoon. I slept. I felt dreamy after waking up. Fearing that i may not be able to wake up at night for feeds, i decided to stop taking the meds. Anyway, doc gave him one day mc. He took the mc just to be absent from their sports day... but still went back to office to work. He came home at 818pm last night. I wasn't happy. I ignored him.

AS much as you guessed, i'm still unhappy. I'm sick taking care of the sick. He did not even call back and ask how are we. Great. On top of his ignorance, i'm under stress to watch the little one suffer. He didn't see the worst of Ryker's couhing. He was the one who cause the little one to be sick yet not even able to be there.

Think i have rant enough. AM going to eat a clove of garlic to help with his phelgm. Right now, i'm having all the symptoms Ryker's has.
