A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
The MAG3 scan report showed that Baby C’s left kidney is perfectly normal and the right kidney is also funtioning pretty good. However, our nephrologist is still of the opinion that the upper pole of baby’s right kidney be removed since there is obstruction in the ureter connecting to the right upper kidney. FYI, Baby…
My guess was right. Baby C needed 3 doses of sedation meds to knock her out completely. The moment we arrived at the hospital, my maid and I fed her with 2 types of sedation meds. One was for 3ml and the other was for 7ml! After fussing and struggling for about half an hour when…
Tomorrow is our scheduled day to bring Baby C to the hospital for the MAG 3 Scan. The scan will be carried out at the Radiosurgery and Cancer Center of the hospital. In layman’s terms, a radioactive chemical will be injected through the IV catheter and the radiologist will begin imaging the kidneys. As told by…
We will be bringing Baby C to see our pediatric nephrologist again tomorrow morning. The urine culture test done on Tuesday shows that there are still 2 types of bacteria in her urine, namely E.Coli and Klabseilla. Though Baby C is quite asymptomatic, the colony count is quite high at >100,000. I think the single…
I anticipate that it will take another 3-4 weeks before my sweetiepie goes for a surgery. By the time the surgery date is fixed, my sweetiepie would have already celebrated her first birthday. First we need to find a surgeon in KL who will agree to the MAG 3 scan to be performed on Baby…
We have just received feedback / second opinion from 2 nephrologists from London on Baby C’s condition. One of the surgeons said to go ahead with the partial nephrectomy surgery. The second surgeon’s advise is to get another scan done on the right kidney before deciding to remove the upper pole of the right kidney…
Baby C’s pee started to smell foul again yesterday. I had expected this to happen coz her UTI attacks is a monthly affair. Today being a Sunday, we had to pay the lab staff of a private hospital double the charges for a urine FEME test to be carried out on baby’s pee. The WBC (white blood…
Baby C loves her porridge and I’ve been making her the same porridge with the following ingredients for almost 3 months every day: Alternate between white and brown rice Goji berries or wolfberries or gei jee (touted as a super fruit packed with antioxidants and nutrients) 3 red dates 1 small wedge of pumpkin or…
The urine culture results (for urine collected on Thursday last week) came out today. There is a mixed growth of bacteria in the pee and the colony count reading is <5,000. Whenever I get this kind of reading, our doctors would normally tell me that this reading means that the pee was most likely contaminated…
Today I collected Baby C’s pee for tests again. The last test done was about 2 weeks ago. The WBC today is 3-4. I know this isn’t a good sign, though the reading is insignificant. The fashion in Baby C’s UTI occurance is that it will come about 4-6 weeks after the last attack. Her last…
