Check up on 18 Dec 07

We were back to TMC for Kyrell's 1st week check up aka our 1st "trip" out!
Kyrell took a blood test (pricked at his toes) to check for his jaundice level.
We also opted for a metabolism test for Kyrell.

He behaved well.. did not cry intially but when he did after 2nd or 3rd prick, it wasn't a loud scream which I have expected.

We Are Home!

On 15 Dec (Sat), at close to noon, our new family finally emerged out from TMC! Veron's hubby Ikshan came to fetch us back to my bro's place. Baby Kyrell is still slightly jaundiced but still at safe level hence his PD Dr Ong gave the "go ahead" :)

Here's some pix to share when we are home :










PS : I took a bath in the ward toilet before I was discharged keke (notty mummy).. knowing that it will be days before I can wash my hair!!

Preparing To Go Home!

On the last night of stay in the hospital, my breast was badly engorged! I have to ask the nurse in to help me relieve it - by massage (teaching me the technique) and use of the pump! It was painful and after exerting so much energy, I got hungry so I sent my hubby to buy me some supper, at 2am+!! Its so late that most eateries are closed so he walked to Blastier to packet some chicken rice back hehe...

After eating hospital food for 3 days (not that it was bad or anything), the chicken rice tasted so yummy!!

I couldn't sleep well at night, excited about going home (my bro's hse) in few hrs time and also being too full from the supper :p

Oh btw, we are still not sure if Kyrell can be discharged, still waiting for Dr EK Ong to give the "OK" sign on Kyrell's jaundice (he's slightly jaundiced), hopefully the test results from tomorrow shows that his level is not exceedingly high!


Definition of Jaundice
During their first few days of life, more than half of all full-term babies and as many as four out of five premature infants who are otherwise healthy develop jaundice, a yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes. Although some babies are jaundiced at birth, most develop infant jaundice during their second or third day of life. That's why you may not notice it until after your baby is home.

Infant jaundice itself isn't a disease. In most cases infant jaundice occurs because your baby's liver isn't mature enough to metabolize a molecule called bilirubin, which normally forms when the body recycles old or damaged red blood cells.

Infant jaundice usually isn't a cause for alarm. It doesn't cause discomfort for your baby, and it usually disappears on its own in one to two weeks. Still, infant jaundice should be closely monitored by your baby's doctor because severe jaundice can lead to serious complications. Treatments can help keep your baby's blood level of bilirubin from becoming too high.

Day 3.. More Pix

Today, my cousin Rene came to visit me again :) Here's some pix which we took.

Don't they look alike here?
