A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Our surgeon prescribed Baby C with Mederma cream to help the wound on her tummy (2 cuts below her belly button), neck and chest to speed up the healing process. Mederma Skin Care For Scars helps scars appear softer and smoother. Mederma cream can be used after surgeries, accidents, to remove acne scars, burns, for old/existing…
When our surgeon prescribed Maltofer syrup (iron) to Baby C to increase her haemoglobin which was quite low, I really thought my baby would not be able to swallow the black yucky looking stuff… coz I knew I wouldn’t be able to. I am one who finds it extremely hard to swallow meds in syrup form….
Before Baby C was discharged from the hospital after her second surgery, she was prescribed with a bunch of supplements, namely iron syrup, folic acid (both to prevent anemia and to increase her red blood cells as her haemoglobin was pretty low after 2 major surgeries), multivitamin syrup and probiotics powder. As the folic acid…
During her 3-week stay in the hospital, Baby C was given two 50ml syringes of albumin via IV drips to nourish her weakened body, as shown in the pic below: Each 50ml syringe cost a whopping RM300 ++. Can you imagine how many eggs we can buy with over RM700++? But it’s ok, as long…
When Baby C had terrible purging during her stay in the hospital, her diaper area turned really sore. Her diaper area was as red as lobster and each time we washed the area after her poopie business, she screamed and cried in pain. Our surgeon prescribed her with Egozite (which contained zinc oxide). Each time…

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.
For 6 days, I’ve been feeling really sluggish… with fever, lots of phlegm, cough, a throbbing head and a runny nose. 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…
