Dragon Boat Festival!

Hi Honey,

Today is Dragon Boat Festival. Mommy hasn't seen any dragon boat races in a very long time. I started out my day with some jung (sticky rice dumpling), both sweet and salty. Your brother got to go to Mc Donald's with Auntie Mena, Auntie Hey Hey and Grandaunt. They wanted to introduce him to the evilness of Mc D.

We then headed to check out some dragon boat races. It was actually a very windy and cool day, best weather for races. We stayed for a little while, not too long, as it gets boring after a while and your brother won't have the patience to sit through the races. Besides, I made the mistake of dressing him too lightly and he was a little cold. We then had dim sum with Great Grandma, aunties and uncles and others who came from Guangzhou to see Ah Po.

Ah Po is doing well. She's still in the observation room, and not yet transferred back to her room yet. She's in pain, which is reasonable considered she just had surgery. She's able to eat some solids now. She was complaining about how hungry she was because she was on a liquid diet for the last day or two.

I think Mommy got your brother sick. He got a cold. Now I have to monitor and see if he has developed a fever. He's currently taking a nap and I gave him some medication before he slept. I hope it's nothing serious but just a common cold. We've been back for 2 weeks now, and let's hope it's not H1N1! It's probably just a cold that we don't have the immune system for.

Mommy, on the other hand, got two more shots today for my blood pressure. The numbers were down a little, from 160/100 to 140/92-95. Still on the pretty high range. I need to watch my diet (gotta cut back on the soy sauce when having sushi and sashimi), and then go back to the doctor in a few days for another blood pressure check.

Will keep you updated on how your brother is feeling tomorrow. Don't forget to watch over him, ok?

Miss you,

Mommy
