Daddy is down with flu for 2 weeks now. Unfortunately, Daddy passes the virus to you and you also have blocked nose and slight cough. We bring you to see Dr Ho at Tampines. Many babies fall sick because the weather is cold at the end of the year. Daddy expects the weather to be warmer after Chinese New Year and everything should be fine. You have grown to beyond 6kg now but still fail the hearing test for the left ear. The specialist at KK hospital calls for a final test 3 months later. Failing that, we will consider a special test for you to determine the level of hearing loss at your left ear. We all expect this to be very mild, may be about 10%. Mummy is sad about your hearing loss. Daddy is not too worried as long about this 10% thingy as the doctor said it will not affect learning or speech.
