A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I woke up at 5:45am today, skipped jogging and got ready to go to SJMC. I had to be really early as it’s first come first served basis. I was the first patient to see Dr Indon but waited for an hour for her to come in. My guess was right. Dr Indon ordered another…
I am so so down today coz the urine test today showed that there are lots of WBC (white blood cells) in Baby C’s urine, which means that there is possibly another UTI attack. Ever since Baby C had UTI 3 months ago, I have a habit of smelling her soiled diaper each time I change…
I used to suffer from constipation when I was younger. Pregnancy and childbirth had also caused me to have piles. One natural food that I find really effective in keeping constipation and piles at bay is psyllium husk. I take a tablespoon of psyllium husk everyday. Psyllium husk is fibre and is not toxic to…
Praise The Lord! The Urine Culture test shows that there is no growth of bacteria in Baby C’s urine! Despite not on antibiotics for 3 days, the bacteria did not proliferate in the urine! That’s the best news I’ve received this week. Thank you Lord!
Just before I conceived Baby C early last year, my gynae detected a small fibroid in my uterus during my yearly medical check-up and ultrasound scan. The fibroid was only the size of a pea and my gynae was very blase about it and told me that it’s a very common problem in women. He…
continuation from here. After more than 3 months, the lump can still be felt on Sherilyn’s right neck. Though it had shrunk in size considerably but the fact that it’s still there made me uneasy. So upon the recommendation of our paed, we brought Sherilyn to Pantai Cheras Medical Centre to have an ultrasound scan of her neck….
Do you freak out whenever you discover that your toddler’s lymph nodes are swollen? Last year, around June, hubby and I discovered that Sherilyn’s lymph nodes (on her right neck) were swollen. Careless me didn’t even notice the swell in her glands near her neck until daddy felt it one night as he was cuddling…
continuation from Hip Dysplasia. Our Orthopaedic surgeon suggested that we try a non-invasive and non-medical method of treating Alycia first before deciding on a medical treatment plan for Alycia. Since Alycia was only 5 mths old then and her bones were still soft and not fully developed yet, there was still hope and high chances of ‘intervening’ the formation of the…
I will never forget that particular morning in December 2000 at the office of my first gynae. After experiencing very irregular periods, spotting, unexplained weight gain, acne on my face and moodiness for a few months, I just knew there was something really wrong with me. That prompted me to drag my feet to the…
When Alycia was around 6 months old, my 6 months of sheer joy of having Alycia, my beautiful first daughter came to an end when we were informed by our paed during one of the well-baby checks at the paed’s clinic that Alycia has ‘clicky hips’. During a routine examination of Alycia’s legs and body,…
