Wheezing

Daddy was due to travel this morning and we were just discussing how should he head to the airport since Hari Raya starts tomorrow. Everyone is hurrying back to kampung and all the highways will be jammed real badly. In the end, we sent Daddy to KL Sentral station so that he can take the express train to KLIA. It worked, the road to KL Sentral was clear and smooth, the journey was a breeze!

On the way back, something in me nudged me to bring Sofia to the paediatrician. She has been coughing for the past one week, not the serious whooping cough but a couple of times during the day. It was a long weekend, no harm bringing her there for a check. The doc examined her and told me that she is "wheezing". I froze. The doc continued to explain to me wheezing is usually a sign of asthma, blah blah blah ... hopefully it will go away with some medication, otherwise we would have to discuss the options.

I knew asthma too well, my brother was asthmatic and it was chronic. Something that no parent would want their child to have. We left the clinic with a heavy heart and some strong medicine for Sofia. I hope the wheezing would go away real soon and not come back again.
