A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Our appointment with the new pediatric surgeon (who was referred to us by a pediatric surgeon in London) went well. This surgeon seemed very thorough, patient, confident and assuring. After a lengthy discussion, we were given a date for Baby C’s surgery. We will have to check into the hospital on the 4th of May,…
Baby C has started to lose interest in her porridge for the past few days. It would be a struggle for me to finish off feeding her the bowl of porridge and it normally takes at least an hour for her to finish her bowl of porridge and her bowl of soup. The easiest way…
With our impending trip to Penang this Thursday, I am now worried about Baby C’s meals. She only eats porridge and has no interest in cereals or jar food. I am now cracking my head on what to feed her during our 1.5-day stay in Penang. This being said, I will still buy a pack of…
We will be taking a flight to Penang this Thursday to meet with the pediatric surgeon / pediatric urologist who was recommended to us by a pediatric surgeon in London. Our appointment with the pediatric surgeon, Dr N will be on Friday, at a private hospital in Penang. This will be Baby C’s first time on…
Baby C doesn’t like to eat her hard-boiled egg yolk on its own. I have to add butter, some fresh milk, some crushed biscuits, yoghurt or some bread to the egg yolk every morning. Yesterday, I added avocado to it. I thought she wouldn’t eat them but boy did she like them. I’m glad she…

We were informed that this doctor from UH, who has years of working experience in London is a skillful surgeon. We will be getting the details of this surgeon from hubby’s uncle tonight. Hopefully we can make an…
We have just received feedback from the surgeon in London. The pediatric surgeon is of the opinion that there is no necessity to do a partial nephrectomy (partial removal of the right kidney, i.e. the upper pole of the right kidney). He has recommended that a ureteral reimplantation be performed. We have however not received…
I read from this mom’s blog that she used apples to cook her 2-year old toddler’s porridge. I tried it the other day and I must say, it tasted good. I like the sweetness and the fragrance of apple in the porridge. This is the pot of apple porridge for Baby C. Other ingredients included…
This morning, I collected Baby C’s urine to have it tested again. Though it wasn’t at the advise of our doctor, I just knew that I had to have her urine tested again…. first in the hope that the test today will show that the WBC (white blood cells) has dropped and second for other antibiotics…
The sensitivity report for the urine culture done on Friday last week is out today. I was shocked when I saw the report. The E.Coli bacteria is resistant to all 9 of the antibiotics tested in the sensitivity test. I have always been told by our doctor that E.Coli is the ‘friendliest’ of all bacteria…
