A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
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…
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…
Baby C has another UTI. This time there’s Proteus bacteria in the urine. Hubby and I spent the whole afternoon at Pantai Medical Center to get her admitted, but as usual, we were allowed to take home leave. The same torturous procedures took place where the doctor had to find her vein to set an IV…
Baby C has been purging for the past 1 week, since Friday last week. I really don’t know what is causing the diarrhea as she has not been eating anything new or unusual. She is still breastfed exclusively and my diet has not been altered either… I didn’t eat anything unusual either. The diarrhea could…
Baby C’s pee has not been smelling foul anymore for the past 3 days. After so many foul smelling pee incidences, I can now see the trend quite clearly. The foul smelling pee goes hand in hand with diarrhea / loose bowel movement. Each time she purges more than 3 times a day for several days, her…
