Elizabeth Comes Home

December 17th, 2008 · No Comments

I was supposed to be discharged on the 18/12, but since I felt very well, and Daddy and the kids wanted me to come home soon, so I got Dr Chin to approve my early discharge.  The delivery fee for Elizabeth came up to be slightly over $7K, much much cheaper then Toria’s, which was [...]

This time, I am planning to deliver Elizabeth [...]

Worst Vomit!

September 8th, 2008 · No Comments

Sorry, but I had to blog about this.  
This, I think and I hope, will be the worst vomit ever!  I had blood freckles on my eyelids even!  And I vomitted some blood at the end.  The pain in my throat was so bad that it felt that I had vomitted a hole in my [...]
