Posted on March 5, 2020March 13, 2020 by Shireen

I finally got an appointment to go to HKL today, but not to see the Urologist. I went there to sign a Consent Letter and to get a date for Cass to do an MRU (Magnetic Resonance Urography). The parent needs to sign a Consent Letter as the procedure has some risks tied to it….

Manic Month Of May

Posted on May 28, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

My bad guts feelings are right. I could feel creepily that the month of May is a jinx month for Cass and me. Yesterday I went back to my dentist as my gums and adjacent teeth still hurt 8 days after my premolar tooth extraction. No doubt, it was a very difficult extraction as the…

Today marks the 2nd year my Baby was operated on.

Cassandra’s Post Operation MAG3 Scan

Posted on April 30, 2011May 1, 2011 by Shireen

Baby’s post operation MAG3 scan of her urinary tract went almost without a hitch on Friday. My motherly instinct was right. Baby was very, very, very brave for she did not let out any cry or whine during the 20-minute IV insertion session on her hand. First the doctor poked her hand with the IV…

Cassandra’s 4th Post Ureteral Reimplantation Surgery Ultrasound Scan

Posted on December 4, 2010 by Shireen

We had to make 2 trips to the hospital this time as the ultrasound scan report was not ready yesterday. Thus my anxiousness was protracted. I never like the feeling of waiting for reports or results. It makes me sick. Baby was mighty brave this time. Albeit the long wait for the radiologist to come…

We were finally back in KL yesterday afternoon. Back home, we feasted on all the famous Ipoh goodies that the hubs had spent his whole morning driving from one shop to another to buy. When it comes to food, his level of patience is incredibly high. He can spend hours traveling from one place to another…

Update On Baby C’s MCUG Scan

Posted on August 27, 2009August 27, 2009 by Shireen

The MCUG scan went smoothly today. As expected, Baby remembered the procedures room in the pediatric ward – wailed the second she was placed on the bed. She also remembered the X-ray room super vividly. The moment we stepped into the cold room with ginormous machines, she bawled! At the procedures room in the pediatric…

Poor, Poor Baby C

Posted on March 27, 2009March 27, 2009 by Shireen

We were at our pediatric nephrologist’s clinic again today. I was told by our doctor to bring Baby C to her clinic for an antibiotics jab 2 days ago but I decided to wait until today as baby’s pee did not smell foul anymore. Furthermore, I wanted to wait for the urine culture report and…

Counting Down To Baby C’s Surgery Date

Posted on February 25, 2009February 26, 2009 by Shireen

No mother would possibly know what my feelings are right now unless they have a child who is about to go for a major surgery. I am worried, anxious, sometimes I feel pessimistic and at other times I feel optimistic. Once in a while I feel like crying too when I think of what my…

It has been a stressful and painful day for Baby C and me today. We were at the hospital from 9am – 3pm today and baby bawled and screamed the whole day today, in pain, trauma and fear. But the moment we were back home, my little trooper was all smiles again. Her smile really lights up my…
