A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My 2 older girls’ latest rage is fruit flavored yoghurt drinks. They have cut down their milk intake from thrice a day to only once a day about a year ago. Except for Sherilyn who will only drink if her milk is chocolate flavored, Alycia now loathes the sight of milk, except for the occasional…
Today is the first day that Sherilyn and Baby are showing the first signs of a cold. It all started about a week ago when a friend who had her first signs of cold came to our house. She played with the girls and got very near the girls. The 6 days incubation period is…
I have been feeding psyllium husk to Baby for over 2 weeks to relief her constipation and it’s working. She can now move her bowels almost everyday and her stools are no longer rock hard. I am going to continue feeding her with psyllium husk and only plan to stop feeding her with it when…
This is Baby about 5 hours after her Chalazion eye surgery on Thursday. She recovered pretty well this time – no vomiting and no post-op grogginess. She slept for about 2 hours after the surgery coz that was her usual nap time and she had woken up very early that day to get ready to…
My hubs and I almost choked on the surgery bill on Thursday. The Chalazion surgery, which is a very minor surgery only took 5 minutes. The ophthalmologist removed a lot of pus and other jelly-like liquid from under Baby’s eyelid. Though the surgery was minor and short, it was a choking, whopping close to RM2k…
This is Baby about 2 hours post surgery yesterday. In this picture, she was pointing to daddy’s Big Mac bun. On normal days, she would push the rather bland sesame bun away but yesterday, she was really famished! She just stuffed the bun into her mouth and with the bun still in her mouth, she…
Remember my earlier post on the swollen bump under Baby’s right eyelid? It has turned bigger plus it looks like there is pus inside the boil / stye. Yesterday we brought Baby to our regular paed and he has referred us to an ophthalmologist. He told us that a minor surgery may be required to…
Baby’s paed and surgeon had warned us many times that one of the causes of UTI is constipation. Constipation will put pressure on the bladder and the unmoved wastes in the guts contain bacteria. Thus it’s very important that she moves her bowels everyday. Unfortunately, Baby has been suffering from constipation for the past few…
First, Baby’s right eye was reddish. The same day the eye turned reddish, she had a fall from the chair and landed face down on the cold hard floor. The lower right eye (the part that’s above the cheek and just below the eyes) hit the floor. It was bruised. Several days later, there was…
Last week, one of my blog readers read about my post in my kids’ blog that there’s bacteria in Baby’s urine again. She has been one of my loyal silent readers and my customer too. She was so concerned for Baby that she offered to send me a health supplement so that I can try…
