A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
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…
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’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…
Baby C was purging for the past 2 days and yesterday, my heart sank when I smelled her soiled diaper at around noon. It smelled foul a little. So for the rest of yesterday, I kept feeding her with plain water, barley water and my milkie in the hope that she would pee more coz our doctors told…
Hubby was informed by his pharmacist friend that one of the best brands of probiotics in the market is Prolactor. Prolactor has 10 billion CFU (colony forming units) of good bacteria. Most other brands of probiotics only have 5 billion CFU of good bacteria. The packaging for Prolactor is pretty impressive. It is packed in…
continuation from here. I called our pediatric nephrologist this morning. The urine culture test shows that there is very scanty growth of bacteria in the urine. Our dr. said that the amount is so insignificant that it is not considered a UTI. That’s why the initial urine FEME test done on Monday showed that there…
I called our nephrologist today. The initial urine FEME test shows that there are no WBC (white blood cells) and no bacteria in the urine. There are however 2 RBC (red blood cells) in the urine…. which means that there could be an infection in the urinary tract or kidney. Our doctor said to wait for…
