Constipation

had my 1st encounter with "Constipation Monster"... I suffered since Monday, Mom applied urgent leave on Mon to bring me to Dr Sim again... Seems like wasn't a good start of the year for me... Anyway, I had difficulty to poo and everytime the "output" is just little bit. Lucky for me was my stool's not hard as balls. Dr Sim prescribed this med - Stool Softener (see left) He further explained to Mom to feed me for a week; twice a day. He continued that prolong the feeding of med to a week is to prevent "constipation cycle" which is the worst nightmare for all Moms, and of course us babies! What he meant by "cycle" is, if med was only given for a short period, ie 3 to 4 days; with constipation NOT FULLY cleared, hard stools may come back again. So, some babies may actually endure not to poo, knowing that it will be painful. Thus, stools that "stayed inside" out tum tum will become hard and dry. The next time we poo, will be pain again amd the cycle repeats itself.

Well, it took me about 4 days to recover but Im still on med until today. My stools were back to normal on Thursday.. Thank god.

Mei Mei can walk!

Mei Mei can walk!!! At 16 months exactly! And so, we captured this beautiful snapshot of her, standing by our door. The old generation was saying, little babies should start to walk at the age of 12-13 month. If it passes, the next lucky month will be 16th month. Well, whether it's plain coincidence or really the truth, Mei did start walking at the age of 16 months. Not stable yet of course, but it's a good start! Somehow, we just feel that Mei Mei has grown up by this picture. She has grown from a tiny pea to now, looks like a fine young lady to us, whom knows how throw tantrums, babbles to herself & giggles very loudly.

Dermoid Cyst

Mei Mei had went for her appointment on her Dermoid Cyst; at her right eyebrow area. It is pretty obvious as she grows older. The Doctor finally decided to operate on her after Mom & Dad insisted. Honestly, they didnt have a very good impression on the KKH Doctors afterall since Mei Mei's hospitalisation. During the 1st appointment on the dermoid cyst, the doctor was still okay. He explained everything in great details to my 2 old folks...and waited patiently for the 2nd appointment which was supposed to be due in 2 months time. But because the cyst seems to get larger, we had brought forward the appointment date & insisted something to be done straightaway. He only sent Mei Mei for some ultra-scan; which turned out to be fine, PHEW!!! 2nd Doctor SUCKS, I would say! Yes, still at KKH we are talking about. In case you do not what is KKH , pls do click on the name KKH , which will auto bring you to the site. We cannot remember the doctor's name for now. Anyway, this d
