Mr Mucus Is Back

Our celebration was shortlived. Vera is down with the flu bug once again. We don't know how she caught it this time. Maybe from the chilly weather that doesn't seem to abate, even though it's already near February. Maybe from someone in the crowd during the celebration. Seeing her healthy makes us forget that her immune system is actually rather weak. Mommy has some immune-system supplements generously given by a kind mother but was so busy with the new helper to start them proper. Now is the time I guess. No more New Year visiting for us for now.

What did you usually use to remove the mucus from Vera nose?

Have you tried the "Nose Cleaner Tube Type" from pigeon?
This is good, can help to remove most of the congestion in the nose and could help her to recover from flu faster.
This is the web site that show how the item look like.

Hi May,

I'm a mom of a premature baby who went home with a oxygen ventilator. We bought a suction machine which recommended by the home nurse. The suction machine is really good. Recently, my boy was down with flu, but after suctioning, he recovered very fast. if you need, i can recommend the supplier to you.

yes i would like to know the supplier. we tried once at the docs, and Vera was so agitated by the tube going into her insides, was painful to watch. Is it always like that when you suction?

Yes. Is quite painful to watch and do. But i dun have the choice, i need to do it, else hard to clear his mucous. The machine also can suck the phelgm from the mouth. I think u saw how the nurse doing in the NIUC using a green tube? (similar to the feeding tube)

Here's the contact: Somnotec (S) Pte Ltd. Tel : 6844 0002.

If u need help, let me know.

Btw, Vera borned in which hospital? I might met you before.

Poor Vera, so hoping that Mr. Mucous disappears! I am hoping she is back to herself soon so we can see more pics.
