Crisis management

This crisis happened at home on a sunny Sunday. It was a day off for Tin Tin, as usual, I could not take morning nap on that day and started my routine since 4ish am --- Feeding Megan, followed by milk pumping. Feeding Kailan and cleaning her wee wee. After that, cleaning the milk pumps and bottles for two rounds (too many). Then sterilizing them for two rounds and reassemble them. That's good that Ah Lun got some bread at home, so I just eat bread as breakfast. Not too late after my breakfast, Megan was hungry again. 

At around 3pm, Ah Lun had to go out to work after he assisted me with bathing Megan at 2:45pm. As usual, I dressed baby up and followed by a feeding. During the feed, I heard Kailan scratching seriously for a long time in the living room. While I cannot leave my nursing chair, I had to yell and commanded Kailan to stop. But she did not even I threatened that I will not offer dinner if she continued scratching. 

After the feed and putting baby into bed, I saw Kailan's swollen face and body. I was scared to death because she desperately need to go to the hospital with such a face. 

I called Ah Lun for a discussion but he could only be back at 7pm. Tin Tin usually came home at 7 or 8pm. No one in my family is strong enough to hold Kailan who is expected to struggle when she meets other dogs. Ah Lun finally got his father's help. 

Megan was well behaved enough for me to look after Kailan. I am so thankful for this good baby. 

Kailan peed and vomited, so housework is non-stop following the feeding. I kept on communicating with Ah Lun while I wiped Kailan with wet cloths hoping that she felt better. 

Also I need to pack baby goods if we are going out. Bottles, formula milk, water, diapers, spare clothes, pacifier, etc. 

Dad in law offered so much help because he could hold Kailan when she's struggling. Kailan is only 10kg but she's so powerful when she meets dogs on the street. I could hardly hold her in these situations. Only men can tame this wild dog. 

Finally baby, me and dog were on daddy in law's car. Another shocking news came when I called the animal hospital in Mongkok. OMG! The next doc appointment will be 8pm, 2.5hours from the time we set off. 

We had no time to curse, we went straight to tsuen wan looking for vets who still open door on a Sunday evening. Glad that we had found one. After the wait, Kailan got an injection and I felt so defeated after everything is done. 

Ah Lun must worry his girlfriend so much that he called a few times. After the vet visit, he is going back home too. He picked us up from the car park and by that moment, I felt safe and grounded again. 

When we were back home, we had a quick dinner. Megan was back in time for the next meal, and she's such a great baby when I was busy looking after Kailan. I love her more and more. XOXOXO
