Baby C had her first major surgery which was a ureteral reimplantation surgery on 5 May 09 and on 22 […]

This is Baby C’s appendics that were removed when our surgeon performed the surgery to fix her guts yesterday. Since he was performing an abdomen surgery, our doctor told us that he might just as well remove the appendics so that it will give us one less headache in future, i.e. baby will not have […]

This pic was taken on the day Baby C was discharged from the hospital. We had lunch at Ocean Green Seafood restaurant again. I ordered a steamed egg and gave a few teaspoons to Baby C. When we went to this restaurant for dinner a month ago, we ordered steamed egg, steamed fish and spinach soup for […]

This is Baby C on the day before her discharge from the hospital. Putting her on the sofa-bed for her to practise walking can really cheer her up and put a big smile on her face.

Despite having finished my antibiotics and meds, I am still feeling under the weather. My skin is also very dry and the skin round my mouth and nose is red, dry and painful…. caused […]

When Baby C puked non-stop, well, like every half-hourly, though in small amounts, our doctor inserted a nasal gastric tube through her nostrils. The tube goes into her tummy. Our doctor then aspirated the gas out from her tummy through the tube. Each time she felt like puking, the nurse would aspirate out the gas […]

This is how my poor baby looked like yesterday… with tubes everywhere on her body - 4 tubes coming out from her tummy, one on her hand for the IV and one nasal gastric tube on her nose that gets connected to a bottle. My little trooper kept moving about and the bunch of tubes […]

I bought a bottle of organic dried seaweed, grains and mixed vegetables from the organic shop the other day. I meant to buy it for Baby C, to sprinkle them on her porridge. On reading the label, I decided not to give it to her as it contains organic raw sugar and organic sea salt.
The ingredients […]

We were informed by our pediatric surgeon that he needs to perform a procedure called cystoscopy on Baby C on the day of the surgery. That procedure is required in order for the surgeon to properly diagnose where the problem is before he performs the ureter reimplantation surgery.
I did a google search on cystoscopy and […]
