Latest update on HE and HX

Till now I couldn't break the record of HE and HX having fever and upper respiratory tract infection every month. Just I thought this January can be record breaker month, HX had fever on the 31st Jan! This time HE was better as she had no fever but running nose and cough only. But HX had fever on off- with low grade for 3 nights then she had bad cough with phlegm and running nose for almost 3 weeks now.
I was worried that it could turn into pneumonia, hence brought her to see Dr Koe. Good that her lung was clear. Despite there were still running nose and cough, I asked for Pneumococcal vaccine. She had not had her second dose eversince her very first fever in Sept. This time I thought vaccine could boost her immunity, so, with Dr agreement, we went ahead and jab the second dose.
As on 18th Feb, HE height : 96 cm
                                weight: 14kg
                          HX weight: 7.4kg      ( 3 months ago, she was 6.9kg), her growth chart was approaching the yellow zone. sigh....I hope to boost up her weight too. I could tell her face was thinner.  Poor her. Hopefully no more sick.
