PBMT - Day 255
Adrian wanted to be carried as we entered the school and cried when Mama wanted to drop him off this morning. Mama was surprised to see Adrian's reaction given he was all right all along. The teacher mentioned kids could behave like Adrian as the reality of going to school (meaning no Mama or Papa keep him company) began to sink in his mind. While Mama was soothing Adrian, the teacher told us how Adrian behaves in class - for example, Adrian likes to cling onto the teacher's leg (maybe to gain security??) and sometimes he would stand still staring at the shelf where his school bag is (maybe he wanted to leave??). One thing that he absolutely loves is the singing part and the teacher said if he cries so much, she'd carry him to play the piano together and he'd stop crying. Two hours passed and when Mama came to pick him up from school, he was all happy again! He'll be ready for the normal 3 hours school next week.

PBMT - Day 252
It's a regular school day followed by a monthly QM appointment at the day clinic. We got two pieces of good news:-
- The latest VMA/HVA levels went back to normal; And,
- The MIBG results showed that the lesion in Adrian's right liver has been resolved meaning there's no more uptake in his liver. However, mild uptake noted in his right adrenal but doc said it's nothing major and it's probably relating to normal daily activities.
We will be back again in 6 weeks' time, not 4 weeks.

PBMT - Day 251
We brought Adrian for a movie event, featuring Wall E, organized by CCF this morning. It was Adrian's first movie experience and we were anxious to see how he likes it. We didn't have much hope at the beginning Adrian would have the patience to sit still for the entire movie. To our surprise, he was quiet for the first half an hour "trying" to enjoy the movie and later self-entertained enjoying another movie, Teletubbies, on Mama's cellphone! Overall, the experience was good considering both Mama & Papa haven't gone for movies for years (ever since Adrian was born) AND he got to experience the BIG screen and surround sound in the movie theatre.
On the other hand, Adrian has lost his appetite these two days and he's developed a mild runny nose. Had no ideas where he got it from but guess it's inevitable to get sick after going to school...

PBMT - Day 249
Now that the first week of school is over - Adrian didn't cry in Mama's absence for two days. We were given a student handbook at the end of the class where the teacher marked down the theme and activities of the week and rated the kids on their participation and discipline. There's still room for Adrian to improve for sure and we are looking forward to seeing him transform into a more discipline and caring kid!!!

PBMT - Day 248
Adrian DID NOT cry a bit at school without Mama! Mama brought him to the class, stayed around 5 mins before class start and left while Adrian was busy choosing his toys. He probably did not realize Mama wasn't there until later. It was til the end the teacher told us Adrian did well in class, participated in games and played some toys; but again, he refused to have snacks (as expected)!!

PBMT - Day 247
A very tiring day with school in the morning and Physio in the afternoon. Third day of school also meant the last day Mama could accompany Adrian. He will be on his own tomorrow, though only for an hour progressing to the normal three hours starting Aug 25th. Adrian did get better today, however, he didn't follow instructions ALL THE TIME. When the teacher asked the kids to line up to wash the hands, he'd just ignore and kept playing with the toys. On the bright side, he could finally sit on his own and he seemed to enjoy the singing/dancing part of the class where he actually clap hands and stomp his feet when asked. And again, for the third consecutive day that he didn't take the snacks in class...

PBMT - Day 246
Adrian has been drinking from the straw cup for more than a month now and he's developed a habit of biting the silicone straw. The straw usually lasts for a few days and he'd need a new one. The other problem is he ONLY drinks from THAT particular straw cup but nothing else. Last night when he was biting the straw again, it broke into two pieces. And he refused to drink from the straw cup ever since, not to mention he's driving Mama crazy!!! Big headache for Mama!!!!
Second day of school went well with the exception that he cried because he was too scared of the Mickey Gloves the teacher worn!!! Other than that, he refused to eat again at snack time. He absolutely has no interests on food! When asked to line up to go and play in the indoor playground, he'd rather play with his favorite, cars, in the classroom!!! It's hard to explain what kids are thinking in their mind....
