all about raine10 Jan 2006 12:53 pm
By Philippine weather standards, December until February is usually the coolest months. Add to that the hassles and bustles of the holiday season. So it isn’t really unusual when people get sick short before the New Year and they cough and sneeze their way back into their schools and offices in the first week of January.
My whole family (including carabao-tough me!) was down with coughs and colds; we’re practically having nasal decongestants and cough syrups for dessert. Raine was bugged down too. Fortunately nobody was running with a fever thus there wasn’t a need for antibiotics. Thank God for that, Raine and medicine just don’t go together.
Until about 4 days ago. (Of course Raine didn’t know I was spiking his milk with medicine.) Upon coughing terrible bad, Raine said “may sakit ang boses ko, inom ako ng gamot” (my voice is sick, I’ll drink medicine) and for the first time took medicine from the spoon without a slight resistance. And it wasn’t a one shot thing, he’s been doing it since then. Hurray for another breakthrough!!
