Still No Sign Of Pooping

Posted on July 24, 2008July 24, 2008 by Shireen

Today is the third day Baby C has not pooed and I brought her to see the pediatrician. Our dr. told us that it’s normal for breastfed babies to go through long episodes of not emptying their bowels. He asked if we wanted enema to be pumped into Baby C’s rectum but hubby said no….

Baby C Can’t Poo

Posted on July 23, 2008 by Shireen

for 2 days already and I am worried sick coz my baby has always been a good ‘pooper’ since birth and has never had problems with emptying her bowels. I hope the built up poop inside her body will not aggravate her kidney reflux and cause another UTI. If she still can’t poo poo by tomorrow,…

Baby C Has Grade 3 Kidney Reflux

Posted on July 17, 2008 by Shireen

The hospital called this afternoon. The nurse conveyed to me the report, which states that Baby C has kidney reflux or VUR grade 3. I had expected it to be grade 3, and thankfully it is not grade 4 or 5. The hospital has also given us a nearer appointment date, which is in 2…

Baby C Has Kidney Reflux

The MCUG test went smoothly today. We reached Hospital UKM at around 9am and went to the pediatric daycare ward for the catheter to be inserted into her urethra. When the doctor arrived, I carried Baby C into the procedures room and I was told to leave the room. I really hate it that I…

Update On Baby C’s Suspected Kidney Reflux

Posted on July 14, 2008 by Shireen

We will be bringing Baby C to the hospital to have the MCUG test done tomorrow morning. The test is to see if she actually has a kidney reflux. I am really worried that Baby C will be in great pain as she will NOT be sedated! I can imagine how she will struggle when…

A Really Hectic And Tiring Day

Posted on July 5, 2008July 5, 2008 by Shireen

This morning, my mil brought our maid to the market. I was home alone with the 3 gals as hubby has gone to his shop. I quickly went to the kitchen to get everything ready before Baby C woke up… but sh*t, the water was only trickling down the tap. I knew that the water…

Poor Baby C Was Poked Twice

Posted on July 4, 2008July 4, 2008 by Shireen

When the doctor told me yesterday that she needs to have Baby C’s blood taken, my heart skipped a beat or two for a moment for I know it will surely be extremely difficult to find a vein in her chubby hands or feet…. which means that the nurses have to poke her a few times. My heart…

Feeding Baby C Medicine

Posted on June 9, 2008 by Shireen

Feeding Baby C antibiotics requires TONS of patience, ideas and energy. I started off feeding her the antibiotics at 8:30am today after Alycia and Sherilyn had gone to pre-school and only finished the entire 3ml at 9:45am…. which I split into 3 sessions. It took me 20 – 30 minutes to squirt 1ml of antibiotics into her…

Updates On Baby C (Day 3)

Posted on June 5, 2008 by Shireen

I am back home to bathe and to pack some stuff again. Finally this morning, the paed managed to find a vein on the back of BB C’s left palm. As expected, BB C wailed her lungs out when the needle was poked into her hand. My heart bled too seeing her tiny hand being poked and…

Updates On Baby C

I am back home for a short while to take a shower and to pack my breast pump and other stuff. Baby C’s fever went up to 39.3 degrees Celsius at 4am today. The nurses stripped her down and sponged her…. and she wailed her lungs out. They asked me not to put on the…
