Started from the 21st with little red dots at the thigh.
What triggered it? We weren't sure. Maybe it was the diet? Coz Mummy added so little scallop bits in the brocolli to try. Before we could nap the culprit, Jerry's whole body kinda flared in the next few days.
What triggered?
Only conclusion.... DUST MITES! Daddy allowed him to kneel in church and he probably got the allergy of dust mites triggered.
RED AND ANGRY Jerry's whole body became!
"MURDER" took place the next few nights and days whenever he slept. His bed sheets would be covered with blood. Not little spots but whole big patches! His neck was scratched till all bloody and raw. He can't even hold his violin up with his neck. He screamed everytime we take him to the bath as if it was chickens to the slaughter. Poor baby!
Lord, I pray for healing and wholeness for Jeremiah. I pray that sickness and infirmity will have no place or power in his life. I pray for protection against any disease coming into his body. Whenever there's sickness , disease or infirmity in his body, Lord I pray that you would just touch him with Your healing power and restore him to perfect health. Deliver him from any destruction or injury that would come upon him. Specifically Lord, now i ask You to heal Jeremiah of his eczema. Thank You Lord. I lay claim to the heritage of healing which You have promised in Your Word. Your Word in Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction". Lord I look to You for a life of health, healing and wholeness for my child. This I ask in the mighty name of Jesus. AMEN!

Blessed New Year!
It's the 6th day of the New Year and before I start,
A BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL! WORK HARD! PLAY HARD! LOVE HARD! SEIZE THE DAY! XOXOXO
Thank You Lord for bringing me thru 2009 and helping me to see 2010 with a new light!
We started our new year at Catholic Spiritual Centre, celebrating mass at 10.30pm, counting down and fellowship with nice warm porridge. Jeremiah came home saying," Mummy, I like the salty porridge at CSC." :P No, it wasn't salty at all... in fact, it was really quite yummy....coz we never put salt or msg in the food we cook especially for Jere and maybe jere's vocab is quite limited :P We came home at almost 1.30am. We had a great time and what other Beautiful way to kick start yet another year abundant full of blessings.... :)
Dare to dream. Live that dream. Together we will scale greater heights!
God bless!

Jere at the cardiologist
We were scheduled for a cardiologist appointment some one week ago 21st October 2009 after dr after dr heard a murmur in his heart. The little one's growing up... he started to have his fears of going to the dr and the hospital. I kept having to psycho him that it was gonna be all right. He feared that the drs were gonna hurt him. He had this really sullen look as we set off.
As I was driving out of the carpark of our place, I prayed aloud with him, telling him that everything's gonna be all right coz it is just JESUS in his heart. We prayed that the Lord goes before us and bless the attending doctors and medical staff and that we will only walk out of that place glorifying His name! a big AMEN to that and we were on our way!
When we reached, we headed straight to the heart centre, got ourselves registered and sat there waiting. As we waited, the human nature got the better of me and I started to worry. I started to sms a friend who's daughter had a murmur and then had a heart op at KKH. She called me back immediately. Just as I was talking to her, a dear friend came and sat in front of us. It was none other than a dear sister in Christ, Eunice. It was such a pleasant surprise to Jere that he was stunned to beyond words as he looked at me. Eunice is our best supporter ever since she knew us. Whenever, Jere had any procedure or test, she would always be there with something to encourage us. Then Jere's name was called.
Jeremiah!
I quickly took Jere and entered the room.
In short, the doctor was really nice. Thank you Lord for going before us. Here's the gist of what transpired.
The Dr said, "Jeremiah! That's a beautiful name! I like your name."
Wow! That was a good start. I sat Jere on the patient's chair and the dr started to make small talk with Jere. Jere looked at him suspiciously.
Dr: Hi Jeremiah! I am Dr Chen.
Me: He's a little apprehensive coz he's been to lotsa drs recently. Also he had a bad flare of his eczema due to the haze and had blood test and all so he's a little apprehensive.
Dr: ok. Don't worry Jeremiah. I'm just gonna do a little check on your heart.
Jere: Just check?
Dr: Yes. Just check.
Jere: No injection?
Dr: No. No injection. Dr's juz gonna listen to your heart ok? (putting on his stethoscope and moving towards Jere)
Jere: Just check? No injection?
Dr: No.
Dr proceeded to listen to Jere's heart, his tummy, his neck. Jere sat really still. Then the Dr said, " OK. Sounds ok, but we'll do a little scan just to make sure. You gotta go to the next room. Meanwhile you wait outside till you are called ok? Jeremiah, can we take a picture of your heart and we will see. What is in your heart?
Jere: JESUS!
Dr: Wow! Jesus! Ok Jeremiah and mummy, you wait outside first ok?
Jere looked at the doctor and said very firmly "YOU ARE A GOOD DOCTOR!"
That really took the doctor aback.
Dr (smiling): Wow! This is the first time a child comes in and tells me I am a good doctor! I am flattered!
A child definitely knows who is kind and who's not :P
There are certain appointments that Jere just keeps saying "Oout! Out! I wanna go out! I wanna go home!" when he is in the doctor's office.
We went out to wait for our turn for the scan. There, Eunice was still waiting for us.This time, she brought us some really wonderful pictures that she took when we volunteered in a Club Rainbow fund raising event. They were really beautifully taken pictures. It kept us busy and before we knew it, Jere's name was called again. We went into the room with the photos and all. Dr Chen was in there and he gently told Jere to lie down and started his ultrasound. I am not sure how long we were in there but it did not seem too long as the dr and the technicians in there were really friendly as they chatted with Jere and distracted him.
Then Dr Chen said, " Looks ok. But lemme get the consultant in to check"
Soon another Dr stepped in with Dr Chen and he was introduced as Dr Tan.
Dr Tan looked at the scans and then he gave his verdict.
" Looks like a normal heart! It's what we call an innocent murmur."
Me: Praise the Lord! Thank You Lord!
Dr: You can be discharged and don't need to return here again.
Me: Praise the Lord! Thank You Lord!
IT IS A NORMAL HEART.... JUST WITH JESUS IN THERE! Praise the LORD!
Thank You Lord! THank You Lord!
Thank You Eunice for being ever so supportive!
Thank you all for your prayers!

Kungfu Panda!
Jerry was playing with his kungfu panda toys that we got from Mac's sometimes back. He put them all in position, all in that kungfu stance, all lined up nicely. You know the kungfu stance that these toys all have, with at least one hand raised. Then Jerry shouted to us all and said....
"Look! they are all singing praise and worship!"
and Jerry went "Alleluia! Alleluia!"
I was struck! I was like OH WOW! It's amazing how my little one see a kungfu stance to one of singing praise and worship. Yes! I am so amazed!
Thank you Lord for blessing me with this little one!

What's in your heart Jerry?
Dr Seow from KKH asked after he listened to Jerry's heart.
As advised by Jerry's paed after a vaccination visit, I asked Dr Seow to listen to Jerry's heart as the paed said he heard a murmur and asked me to ask the drs at kkh to hear again and refer to the cardiologist if necessary.
And what's Jerry's reply to Dr Seow's question of "What's in your heart Jerry?"
Jerry: JESUS!
Yup, Jesus is indeed in Jeremiah's heart! AMEN!
and so we are scheduled to see the cardiologist at 1540hr KKH on the 21st Oct 2009.
Dear husband is worried and said he will try to meet me at the hospital to hear what the doctors have to say. To that I replied, it's just JESUS. It was Jesus murmuring to the dr ;)
Jeremiah will be well. Nevertheless, keep us all in prayers especially our little one.
God bless one and all!

Jere's Manual Competence
Let's look for the Russian dolls for Jere to play to improve his manual competence as he takes the small ones out of the big ones. Hhhhmmmm, maybe I could find them in my mum's place... Grandma just seems to love to collect all these kinda stuff and I am quite sure I can find it there :P
We've managed to get a contact who is selling off their brachiation ladder third hand. Maybe we should go get the brachiation ladder and put it over the bed! That way, we don't have to worry about them falling and they should be able to stand on the bed on tiptoes and grasp on the rungs of the ladder and swing. Also, Jere could very well use that as an overhead ladder to start walking and straighten his feet. Now how cool is that :P
Right now, Jere has been hanging on the brachiation ladder at his centre and can hang a good 20 seconds on his good days.
A song for Brachiation :) to the tune of Alouette:
"Bra-chi-a-tion,
We love Bra-chi-a-tion
Bra-chi-a-tion's the game we love to play.
First we put the left arm out
Then we put the right arm out -
Left arm out, right arm out, oh...."
Thank You Lord for opening up the doors!

Mobility: Confirmed Creeper!
I read in Glenn Doman books:
The goal at stage III, the midbrain - mobility competence, this level is for the baby to reach a total of 400 yards of creeping in a day.
1 yard = 0.9144 m
400 yards = 360m
creeping is moving in all fours in a quadruped position.
and yes, Jere has surpassed that. Jere's creeping a good 400m a day (recorded) of coz he creeps more than that in reality coz that is his main form of transportation which we do not purposely record.
The more he creeps, the closer he is to total midbrain development. The more he creeps, the closer he is to walking. AMEN!
Right now, Jere is a confirmed creeper. He creeps in cross-pattern. He goes wherever he pleases. Thank You Lord!
How right Glenn Doman books have said that they have never seen a baby who can creep four hundred yards who can't pull himself to a standing porsition holding onto a piece of furniture. Jere pulls himself to a stand. Only thing is his right foot is bent inwards and feels rigid while his left foot seems a little floppy. This prevents him from standing properly. Please pray that his feet will be straighten and strengthen and be what they should be. I believe Jere will walk and without walking aids! AMEN!
An activity to start: Place Jere at the bottom of the stairs and encourage him to creep up. This activity should be advocated at stage III as it puts the child into a position where his body is approximately 45 degrees from the steps, thus working toward being in an upright position.
On average, Jere takes approximately 2 min 11 s thereabout to climb up a flight of 20 stairs. Way to go! my little angel!
