A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
On the night Alycia returned from her vacation in Hong Kong 2 days ago, she gave us all a scare. When she got home from the airport, she appeared very frazzled and her cheeks were very rosy. After her dinner, she told us that she was very sleepy and so she went to bed at around 9ish pm,…
The MAG3 scan report showed that Baby C’s left kidney is perfectly normal and the right kidney is also funtioning pretty good. However, our nephrologist is still of the opinion that the upper pole of baby’s right kidney be removed since there is obstruction in the ureter connecting to the right upper kidney. FYI, Baby…
That’s my breakfast today: A slice of bamboo charcoal bread, spread with generous amounts of yam kaya. Notice the huge chunks of yam on the yam kaya? This yam kaya is absolutely yummy…. and fattening too but oh well, eat first and exercise later. That’s my motto 🙂 Hop over to my other blog to…
After being healed completely from a chronic cough twice this month, I now swear by fresh olives and their amazing healing properties for cough. It’s pretty simple to prepare this home remedy. All you need are fresh olives and some lean pork and a pot or a double boiler. BUT the problem is finding fresh olives….
My guess was right. Baby C needed 3 doses of sedation meds to knock her out completely. The moment we arrived at the hospital, my maid and I fed her with 2 types of sedation meds. One was for 3ml and the other was for 7ml! After fussing and struggling for about half an hour when…
Tomorrow is our scheduled day to bring Baby C to the hospital for the MAG 3 Scan. The scan will be carried out at the Radiosurgery and Cancer Center of the hospital. In layman’s terms, a radioactive chemical will be injected through the IV catheter and the radiologist will begin imaging the kidneys. As told by…
…with cough and runny nose. With only 3 more days left before their trip to Hong Kong, I didn’t want to let them heal on their own, so I told hubby to bring them to the paed this morning. Flying with a runny nose can be really disastrous and torturous as the ears will most likely get…
Did you know that eating fresh olives can heal a chronic cough? This is a ‘heong har’ (hometown in China) home remedy. I didn’t believe it until I tried it recently. My mil had brought some fresh olives back from Hong Kong recently and she asked me to chew on the fresh olives. Though the…
One of my friend’s 5-year old daughter has a vaginal yeast infection. Her labia has been rather red for months and my friend thought that was due to the fact that her daughter did not wipe that part after her wee wee in pre-school. For the past 1 week, my friend was horrified when she noticed a discharge that appear yellowish, greenish, brownish…
We will be bringing Baby C to see our pediatric nephrologist again tomorrow morning. The urine culture test done on Tuesday shows that there are still 2 types of bacteria in her urine, namely E.Coli and Klabseilla. Though Baby C is quite asymptomatic, the colony count is quite high at >100,000. I think the single…
