A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
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…
That’s Baby C’s breakfast : Clockwise from top : Millenium Cactus juice (1 tablespoon, diluted with water), Bio Strath herbal yeast supplement (3ml, diluted with water), plain water, papaya, Gardenia white bread with some butter. Bread with President butter, cut up into small bites. It normally takes me 45 mins to an hour to feed baby…
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…
My maid and I spent our entire morning at the hospital today. First we brought Baby C to the Imaging Department for an ultrasound scan of her kidneys and urinary tract. While waiting for our turn, I quickly fed Baby C some freshly squeezed orange juice, cactus juice and probiotics which I’d put in a bottle. After the ultrasound…
After 5 days of being down with high fever, a swollen throat and stuffy nose, my little cili padi is back on her feet again. She started going to pre-school again yesterday, attended her second ballet lesson (and wore her new ballet costume and she was in seventh heaven!), regained her appetite (and boy, her appetite was…
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…
When we brought Baby C for an ultrasound scan 2 months ago, the radiologist saw something that looked like a Duplex system on Baby C’s right urinary tract system. From what I understand, a Duplex system means a double ureter. On Friday when we were at our pediatric nephrologist’s clinic, our doctor suggested another ultrasound…
Strawberries is one of the fruits that Baby C loves the most. It must be the strong fragrance and the sweetness. So I’ve now used strawberries as treats for her to eat with her daily antibiotics. I know strawberries should best be introduced to babies after 12 months to prevent allergies. What I did was first…
