Eshvarhen's First Cough

Dear Eshvarhen,

You're six months old today. Congratulations, baby! You've come a long way for your tiny self.

You've been having a terrible cought for the past three weeks, and Appa and I've taken you to the doctor three times already. Each time the doctor tells us that you're having just a cough, and there's no phlegm in your chect- which is a HUGE relief.

The doctor told us that you're having a sorethroat due to virus- must be coming from all the times you lick the edge of the carpet in our hall.

I just thought I'd log this down since this is the first cough attack of your life=). I guess I should tell you to stop licking the carpet, but if that's how you're sharpening your sense of exploration, who am I to stop you......I just hope it tastes good...

Hugs always,
Amma

Ehsvarhen's first accident- and what a scary one!

Dear Eshvarhen,

We had to rush you to the hospiatl because the string that we used to tie the "vasambu' around your wrist had cut into your hand. The cut has apparently been there for a while, becasue some of your skin had grown over it.

The doctor applied a bit on anaesthtic cream on your wrist, and pulled the string out. I thank God they did no have to do a surgery on your to remove it.

When you grow up, you will see a faint scar on your wrist. This log is to remind you and us how you got it. And to remind me to be more careful to watch out when you continue crying unnecessarily.

I'm so sorry, baby.
Amma
