A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Today I collected Baby C’s pee for tests again. The last test done was about 2 weeks ago. The WBC today is 3-4. I know this isn’t a good sign, though the reading is insignificant. The fashion in Baby C’s UTI occurance is that it will come about 4-6 weeks after the last attack. Her last…
When it comes to eating, Sherilyn my brat has her own moods. In general, she loves eggs and I’m thankful that she does coz eggs have very good quality protein. I try to ensure that Alycia and Sherilyn eat an egg a day. On school going days, I will fry them each an egg but…
Baby C loves most fruits. So far, I’ve given her papayas, red dragon fruits, oranges, apples, plums, grapes, strawberries, pears, peaches and yesterday, gave her avocado. Peach is one of Baby C’s favorite fruits, next to strawberry. I love peaches too, they are my favorite. Love the fragrance, the texture and the sweetness of the…
This morning, Baby C woke up pretty early. She woke up at the same time as me at 6:30am and despite me nursing her, she did not go back to sleep. Normally she would doze off again but not today. It’s really a problem for me if she wakes up this early coz the mere…
Hubby and I have decided that the surgery takes place later this month. My main concern of not wanting the surgery to take place so soon is because Baby C is having a mild runny nose now. I think it’s always good to go for a surgery when your immune system is strong. Moreover, I am…

Our surgeon explained to us that Baby C has 2 problems. The first problem – Baby C has a Duplex System on her right kidney. There…
Lately, Baby C and I have been spending a lot of time at the hospital and there seems to be endless trips to the hospitals. Just this week, we were at the hospital twice and tomorrow, we’ll be going to the hospital again. This time, we have an appointment with the pediatric surgeon. Well, I…
Today is the day that Baby C did the IVP and MCUG procedures at the hospital. We spent almost the whole day at the hospital and it was a day of non-stop yelling, wailing and bawling for poor baby. After feeding her the sedation meds the moment we reached the hospital, I nursed her and…
Whenever I run out of time and need a quick fix lunch for Alycia and Sherilyn, this is what I’ll prepare… their all-time favorite: Cold cha soba (cold green tea noodles) with chilled organic cha soba sauce, sprinkled with some toasted sesame seeds for added protein and calcium, a fried egg for more protein (yup,…
I bought a bottle of organic cold soba sauce from the organic shop last week. It’s free of preservatives, colorings, sugar and other chemical additives. Check out the ingredients in the label on the bottle here: I use the soba sauce to prepare cold green tea noodles for Alycia and Sherilyn. They, especially Sherilyn are…
