A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Poor Baby C puked again last night when I fed her the antibiotics. I managed to force it all down her throat with some yoghurt and freshly squeezed grape juice. As a treat, I gave her some squashed black grape bits to chew on. Seconds later, she puked! I was absolutely frustrated coz my maid…
No more fever…. Urine collected today and tests done. Initial urine test showed no growth of bacteria. WBC is 1-2 which is normal….. but I am still unhappy? Why? Because I just have this phobia that the bacteria will wreck havoc and attack her again. I just can’t imagine what it would be like for…
…. after her third PCV jab (Prevenar jab for Pneumoccocal) last night. The fever developed at around midnight and her temp is still hovering at 37.7 – 38.4 degrees Celsius. But I am holding back on the PCM (paracetamol) as I just don’t like the idea of her little body taking too much meds. As…
You wouldn’t believe how underweight Baby C is. At 7.5 months, she only weighs around 6.72kg, a drop of 200gms from last month. Each time she has a UTI, her weight is bound to drop as she will also have purging. Purging and UTI go hand in hand. So whenever she has purging and her…
Nothing makes you feel bad enough than living with the guilt that you had hurt your own child. On the day that Baby C was hospitalized for yet another UTI attack and had to be put on IV drips last Friday, I had accidentally cut her flesh whilst trimming her finger nails. They say that sometimes when it…
When the IV line was prematurely taken off from her hand on Monday night, Baby C had to be given oral antibiotics (Zinnat) at the hospital. Zinnat must have tasted yucky coz Baby C bawled big time and struggled until she puked. Hubby and I spent over half an hour in the hospital coaxing her…
I finally moved my butt after being kicked by hubby several times and made an appointment to see a gynae today. I was supposed to see the gynae who delivered my 3 gals for a follow-up ultrasound scan of my uterus to see if the fibroid (which was detected during my yearly check-up before I…
That’s the hole caused by the IV line on my poor baby’s hand. The IV line was to have been removed on Wednesday morning but when the nurse tried to put the antibiotics drip through the line on Monday night, she noticed that my poor baby’s hand was swollen and the hole has enlarged, thus…
Baby C and I were ‘discharged’ from the hospital today. We don’t have to go back for the antibiotics drips as the urine culture done on Sunday (results out today) showed that there is no more bacteria growth. I can only pray to God that there will be no more growth of bacteria ever, period….
Baby C is admitted to Pantai Medical Centre for another UTI but we were allowed to take home leave. She has to be brought to the hospital for the antibiotics drips twice a day, at 10am and 10pm. These pix were taken yesterday morning. She was fast asleep during the drips and didn’t cry…. but…
