I guess I need to update you guys with what is going on with us, health-wise. I also want to blog about it to really emphasize how much the kids have improved when we moved (as a way of reminding me what is important as well).

The Kids:
Martha:
She has gained weight ever since I stayed home. She eats well. She only had one episode of a mild asthma attack after we went to Manila (and drove there at 2PM in a non-airconditioned transport — I think we were risking it too much!). She had an episode of fever with mild diarrhea but there were no symptoms of cough nor colds. It turns out she had pilay (I dont know if you guys believe in this) so she lost weight a little.

We are on Day 2 of weaning her from current milk (Gain Plus 3) - Im switching (and trying successfully) to Nido (expense wise it would be better for us). She is not really noticing any difference (because I mixed Nido and Gain 2:1) so hopefully once her current milk runs out we can go Nido full time.

She is also off her Seretide for a month now.
We are into her 4th month of treatment for her Primary Complex.

Matthew:
He also gained weight and is the picture of great health! His allergic rhinitis has not been acting up ever since and even if he takes a cold shower at night (he can! even when it’s colder here) - he doesnt get hived up (rhinitis acting up).

He hasnt been sick - no fever, no cough, no colds. EVER.
He just takes Ceelin and Tiki Tiki

The Parents:
We have to admit we are lacking on this department nowadays.

I still havent gon back to my OB to have my PCOS checked (I stopped taking Metformin), I didnt follow up on my Pap and blood tests results. I need to have my eyes checked.

The list is endless.

Edil, while it looks a bit good, has gained weight, A LOT (Im guessing 20lbs). He really looks like a father now unlike before that he looks like my son! It’s nicer but he gained weight because of too much smoking and drinking - night out with clients, etc. That’s bad, right? I cant seem to motivate him to stop smoking (I guess I need to lose weight for him to do that).

So I guess we need blood work-ups soon

Speaking of health, I just needed to blog about the movie I saw (again, for the nth time) - “Something’s Gotta Give”. We still cannot stop laughing on the scenes of Jack Nicholson having a heart attack because of taking Viagra! Maybe he has this motivation - Recover your virility and manhood with Viagra! But seriously, are people as old as grandparents still need a sex life?!
