Ryan has recovered!

Finally, the hives have just gone as mysteriously as they came, after 4 full days of torture for me. hmm... at least now Ryan is free from red patches and back to normal. It pains me to see him flipping all over the bed and scratching himself due to the unbearable itch. I am not going to let him try seafood (other than fish) until he is much much older.

Now that he is better, he is hyperactive! I think there is some truth in the formula SUGAR = EXCESS ENERGY for children. Some doctors claimed that letting your child consume too many sweets may actually cause them to be hyperactive. Why do I say so? Ryan was prescribed a very very bitter medication for his hives. In order to force him to eat, we mixed the medicine with some honey, so that it is easier for him to swallow. So twice a day, he received his medication and that extra dose of honey. I noticed that he was awake during his usually napping hours and he kept on walking in his own cot and refused to let us carry him. He just walked and walked around the house all day long. He moves like a fish out of water when we try to carry him in my arms. I could hardly sit down to read my book or do anything the whole day. Now that he is asleep I finally have some time for myself. :-)
