A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My poor baby had 3 jabs on her buttocks today. In the morning, she had 1 Rocephine jab (which contains a huge vial of antibiotics, around 25ml) on one side of her buttock and 1 Gentamicin jab on the other side of her buttock. I pleaded with the nurse to do it really gently and…
Thanks to one of my blog readers who informed me that I can buy cranberry capsules from GNC, I managed to buy a bottle yesterday. Each capsule consists of 500mg cranberry juice concentrate powder, which is crimson in color. It taste a tad tarty and slightly bitter. Last night, I sprinkled 1/4 of the capsule…
We had an appointment with our pediatric nephrologist at SJMC today. I woke up early today, skipped my jogging/gym, got my 2 older gals ready for school by 8:15am and then woke baby up. I had to feed her lots of fluid so that she has enough pee for me to collect. I separated the collection of…
Our pediatric nephrologist has told us to postpone the IVP and MCUG scheduled to be carried out on Baby C tomorrow (Monday) as she has an infection going on in her urinary tract. We have another appointment with our nephrologist scheduled for Wednesday next week and we’ll see what happens next.
It’s really sad that I have to post this again. This post seems to appear in my blogs every month. Yesterday, we were at the ER of SJMC the whole night and only left at 11ish pm. Baby C’s pee has been smelling foul on and off for the past 1.5 weeks but our doctor…
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…
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….
