Back!!

Been out of blogging actions for a while, due to a faulty router. The D-Link router which my brother-in-law gave (during his courtship with my sis, trying to curry my favour I suppose! hahaha!!), became totally powerless one day. Regardless how me and my mum tried to connect the AC, it simply doesn't work! Then my colleague reminded me that I still have a modem. By plugging my lappie directly to the modem, I will be connected to the network..

Well, some updates on Rianne's condition. After she's been diagnosed with the genetic disorder (NF 1), we've been following up with eye checkups at the hospital. Poor baby her.. she was put to horrible eye tests with administration of 8 different types of eye drops, to see if there's anything growing (likelihood of a tumour) at the back of the eye. My little princess was so brave to got through the first 6 drops without shedding a single drop of tear. However, this smart baby was so clever to know that the second time into the treatment room would mean another round of eye drops; she immediately struggled and cried when my mum tried to keep her still.

There were many other kids & babies older than Rianne, (except one who's only 4 months old) at the eye centre awaiting to be checked in the scariest way ever.. A father & mother of a 2 year old girl was telling Annie Mummy and me how some of the checks were carried out. They said the doctors would pry the eyes of the young children with paper clips, and then shone super bright lights into the poor sockets. I was so terrified that Rianne's doctor will be using such method, but I had overworried. The 'nerdy' looking female doctor was so gentle, and even sang "Twinkle, twinkle little star" in a lulluby version to Rianne. Her nurses were also so kind, and used lots of toys to distract Rianne while the doctor checked.

The doctor explained to me that currently there isn't anything behind Rianne's eyes, probably just a small cafe au lait mark on one of her eyes which is harmless. However as the growth of a tumour can develop anytime, and Rianne is still too young to notify the adults of any discomfort/visionary problems; the doctor recommends us to come back semi-annually for checks.

At the counter while checking out, Rianne was the limelight at the eye center when she made singing-like sounds, and was 'chatting' to almost everyone. All the nurses love her, as Rianne was all smiley and talkative! Hmmmmm, maybe my darling's trying to create good impressions so that the nurses will be kinder to her the next time. Hah!
