We will be taking a flight to Penang this Thursday to meet with the pediatric surgeon / pediatric urologist who was recommended to us by a pediatric surgeon in London.  Our appointment with the pediatric surgeon, Dr N will be on Friday, at a private hospital in Penang. 

This will be Baby C’s first time on board an aeroplane and I hope she’ll behave well on the plane.   Anyway, it’s only a 1-hour flight.    I hope everything will go smoothly in Penang this week and that the surgery can take place next week.  This is one big hurdle for my sweetiepie and me this year and I hope that everything will be over and done with and behind us soon.

Over the telephone, this doctor sounded pretty confident that Baby C’s problem can be fixed with a clear-cut surgery, i.e. a ureter reimplantation.  We’ll see what he says when he sees the MAG 3 scan report and films.  I hope what the surgeon had told me is true and that Baby C’s problem can easily be fixed with the ureter reimplantation surgery.

This 2-day trip to Penang will cost us over RM1k… and hubby is about to break his wallet soon with the impending surgery…. and more trips to Penang. Haiz….
