A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Baby C’s pee still smells a little foul today… and looks yellowish too on her diaper. Today I collected her pee in a specimen bottle to have an inspection myself and as I had expected, the pee looks a tad cloudy and there were tiny particles floating inside too 🙁 I made a call to…
I don’t know if my nose is playing tricks on me. Yesterday morning at around 4am, Baby C’s soiled diaper smelled a tad foul. At 6am when I changed it again, it smelled a little foul too. And so for the whole of yesterday, I was obsessed with changing her diaper and sniffing the soiled…
I mentioned earlier that I will blog about Baby C’s daily feeding schedule. Well here goes : My day with Baby C starts at around 8-8:30am. When Baby C wakes up, I will feed her 2.5ml of Bio-Strath, mixed with apple and cranberry juice. I used to give her organic pure Cranberry juice but it’s so terribly sour that…
Today was our second consultation with the pediatric surgeon. We showed him the urine culture report dated 3rd October, the test of which was done at a hospital nearer to our house. Looking at the report, which states that there is a scanty growth of E Coli bacteria and a WBC (white blood cells) of…
The report for the urine culture done on Friday was out on Monday. The WBC (white blood cells) have come down from 10-15 to 2-4. Also, the Klabsiella bacteria is no longer in the urine… praise the Lord! But there is still a scanty growth of E Coli bacteria in the urine… which both our nephrologist and pediatric…
Ever since Baby C had her first serious attack of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) when she was just a few days shy of turning 2 months old, I have a phobia of smelling foul smelling pee in her diaper. Foul smelling pee means that there is most likely an infection in her urinary tract system….
Hubby had passed the MCUG film (of Baby C’s kidneys and urinary tract system) to his cousin who went to London last week. The MCUG film has been passed to hubby’s uncle who is a heart surgeon in London, who will then pass the film to his friends who are pediatric nephrologists. We will get the opinion on Baby C’s condition from…
This is the 5th time in 4 months that bacteria has been detected in Baby C’s urine. So far, she has had 1 full-blown Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and 1 ‘semi full-blown’ UTI about 3 weeks ago. Last week, bacteria (E Coli and Klebsiella) were detected in her urine again. The reading of the white blood cells…
but I can take home leave so that we don’t have to stay in the hospital. Baby C is attacked by the E Coli bacteria (again) and Klebsiella bacteria (which is a strong bug) this time and she needs to have an IV line on her hand for antibiotics to be jabbed through the line….
I woke up at 5:45am today, skipped jogging and got ready to go to SJMC. I had to be really early as it’s first come first served basis. I was the first patient to see Dr Indon but waited for an hour for her to come in. My guess was right. Dr Indon ordered another…
