A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My maid and I spent our entire morning at the hospital today. First we brought Baby C to the Imaging Department for an ultrasound scan of her kidneys and urinary tract. While waiting for our turn, I quickly fed Baby C some freshly squeezed orange juice, cactus juice and probiotics which I’d put in a bottle. After the ultrasound…
We were at our pediatric nephrologist’s clinic today. The urine culture report for the urine culture done on Friday last week was out today. The bacteria this time is Klabsiella, which our doctor said comes from stools most of the time. Both our doctor and I were stumped that the bacteria has changed from E.Coli to Klabsiella in…
When we brought Baby C for an ultrasound scan 2 months ago, the radiologist saw something that looked like a Duplex system on Baby C’s right urinary tract system. From what I understand, a Duplex system means a double ureter. On Friday when we were at our pediatric nephrologist’s clinic, our doctor suggested another ultrasound…
I sent Baby C’s pee to the hospital for another urine FEME and C&S test today. It’s the second urine test done in a week. The urine test has to be carried out this time to see if the bacteria is still in her urine, after being treated with a new oral antibiotics (Bactrim) for twice a…
After feeding Baby C with a new antibiotics yesterday, her pee doesn’t smell foul anymore today. She has also stopped purging and her labia is not red and sore anymore. Well, it’s actually not a new antibiotics for baby coz she had taken this antibiotics previously. For Baby C’s case, since she gets bacteria in her pee…
It’s a monthly affair. I think Baby C has another UTI. The urine FEME test today showed that there are WBC (white blood cells) and RBC (red blood cells) in the urine, which suggest bacteria in the urine. Once the urine C&S report is out in 3 days’ time, we will know what bacteria is…
About 3 days ago, during one of my soiled diaper sniffing sessions, I thought Baby C’s soiled diaper smelled a tad foul and looked a tad yellowish too. My heart began to thump and I was really very very troubled. The next morning, my dad brought me to Pantai Putri Hospital to see a pediatrician….
Ever since Baby C developed a phobia of eating antibiotics after her recent hospitalization for her 3rd attack of UTI, she will scream, struggle and bawl big time till she puked almost every time she’s fed with her daily antibiotics. I’ve tried everything to lessen her phobia by giving her biscuits, baby carrots, yoghurt and…
The recent antibiotics that the doctor prescribed to Baby C has been the worst by far. It didn’t smell that horrid but it was bitter and left a bad sensation in the mouth. I tasted a little and even I felt like puking. No wonder poor Baby C kept puking each time she was forced…
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…
