Arti,
How is Arjun doing now?

Priya Arti replied. Hi there,
Arjun is still not well though he seems better due to the steriod shot he got and because of the medication he is taking. I am desperately hoping that the chronic ear infection he has been having should go away this time. His tube surgery is not possible before our India trip (won't get an appointment) so this is the only choice left. I am working from home entire this week and next week its dady's turn to be at home with him. So we are not sending him to day-care this month - keeping him at home.We are leaving for India on the thanks giving day so hopefully he should recover completely by then. Lets see.
Hetal, I am already doing all the stuff you suggested. I also did that milk+haldi thing for a week or so. Also giving him tons of vitamin C, I mean food which has vitamin C. His cold is gone now and his sppech is gradually coming back (which he has lost due to croup). Now keeping the fingers crossed for the ear infection. I just keep praying for him.
Anitha, I was so sad to know that Laya is also not well. What gives me courage and keep me going is that this is just a passing phase and all of us will come out of this as stronger persons. Also this is just the beggining of the project we signed up for (I meant parenthood:), never thought it would be this hard and will require this much sacrifice to raise a kid, now I appreciate my parents more and more) so we need to be strong, I know its hard to preach than practice and my heart goes for Arjun almost all the time but we just keep convincing ourselves thinking that we are doing what we can.

Kiran, I am also in the same boat as you. Arjun enjoys giving me a tough time for diaper changes, toys are not of much help nowadays, donno know what to do.
As far as brushing goes, his dad forces his finger in to brush his teeth in 4-5 days otherwise we let him hold his brush and chew on it:)

Anitha, my prayers are with you and Laya. Keep posted on her health.
