A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Baby C loves most fruits. So far, I’ve given her papayas, red dragon fruits, oranges, apples, plums, grapes, strawberries, pears, peaches and yesterday, gave her avocado. Peach is one of Baby C’s favorite fruits, next to strawberry. I love peaches too, they are my favorite. Love the fragrance, the texture and the sweetness of the…
This morning, Baby C woke up pretty early. She woke up at the same time as me at 6:30am and despite me nursing her, she did not go back to sleep. Normally she would doze off again but not today. It’s really a problem for me if she wakes up this early coz the mere…
Hubby and I have decided that the surgery takes place later this month. My main concern of not wanting the surgery to take place so soon is because Baby C is having a mild runny nose now. I think it’s always good to go for a surgery when your immune system is strong. Moreover, I am…
We met our pediatric surgeon today. After looking at the MCUG and IVP films, our surgeon concludes that a surgery is definite. The surgery is called a partial nephrectomy. Our surgeon explained to us that Baby C has 2 problems. The first problem – Baby C has a Duplex System on her right kidney. There…
Lately, Baby C and I have been spending a lot of time at the hospital and there seems to be endless trips to the hospitals. Just this week, we were at the hospital twice and tomorrow, we’ll be going to the hospital again. This time, we have an appointment with the pediatric surgeon. Well, I…
Today is the day that Baby C did the IVP and MCUG procedures at the hospital. We spent almost the whole day at the hospital and it was a day of non-stop yelling, wailing and bawling for poor baby. After feeding her the sedation meds the moment we reached the hospital, I nursed her and…
We had an appointment with our pediatric nephrologist at SJMC today. I woke up early today, skipped my jogging/gym, got my 2 older gals ready for school by 8:15am and then woke baby up. I had to feed her lots of fluid so that she has enough pee for me to collect. I separated the collection of…
That’s Baby C’s breakfast : Clockwise from top : Millenium Cactus juice (1 tablespoon, diluted with water), Bio Strath herbal yeast supplement (3ml, diluted with water), plain water, papaya, Gardenia white bread with some butter. Bread with President butter, cut up into small bites. It normally takes me 45 mins to an hour to feed baby…
Our pediatric nephrologist has told us to postpone the IVP and MCUG scheduled to be carried out on Baby C tomorrow (Monday) as she has an infection going on in her urinary tract. We have another appointment with our nephrologist scheduled for Wednesday next week and we’ll see what happens next.
It’s really sad that I have to post this again. This post seems to appear in my blogs every month. Yesterday, we were at the ER of SJMC the whole night and only left at 11ish pm. Baby C’s pee has been smelling foul on and off for the past 1.5 weeks but our doctor…
