jane,
thank you so much for sharing
glad to hear that siang´s hearing is improving. i asked those questions is becos when we play with yilin she will smile and get excited. my mum always said ¨see.. she got respond leh.. so she should be able to hear¨.. but to me got respond doesn´t really mean she can hear lor, maybe she see our expression so she smile and not becos she heard us.
yes, will ask the neonat. this 23rd feb will be visiting dr quek and 25th feb will be having another ear check.. hope tat she can pass thisd time...

afcai, yes your hubby is very right, heart surgery is indeed very serious. it is major surgery, and dash had to stay in children ICU for a week at that time. He went thru surgery when he was about a year old.
Like jane, i also dun mind sharing the heart problem that dash had, because it is a birth defect, and i have to face it. Sometimes though, i feel that he is different from other kids, cause he has this birth defect...but the cardiologist has mentioned once he went thru the operation, he can do wat other kids can do.
Now my girl needs to go for cardio check too.
Cause got history of heart defect in family. Actually I have heart problem too (minor). I dunno what is it call, but it is a minor problem, but when i need anitbiotics before I do my dental procedures n any surgical procedures...
I always admire jane's spirit, very optimisstic, and very happy, just like my student's mummy. My student has hearing impairment too.
gingal, your baby can go home today right??CONGRATS!
angel is always so pretty. by the way precious one, her christian name is really angel har?
Yan, hope ur gal clears her hearing test. when i was admitted to kkh, i heard nurses told one of the mummy whose baby is full term that her baby has not passed hearing test, and needs to go polyclinic to check again. anyway, i guess sometimes baby may not be in the mood and so fails the test. dun worry...
reg insurance, i have tried buying for dash before but rejected mainly cause of his heart. Not sure if they will ever allow him to buy insurance...

Yan
yes like kkf and xbliss say. have faith. yi lin will outgrow everything. i tell u someting lagi funny. Last july siang went for his 2 year old assessment. well, he score ok. but then he could not climb the steps unassisted (meaning his gross motor not very good despite he can run etc). But well, sunday (yesterday) i bring him to the playground and viola! he can climb the staircase (with ease).
So have faith
yi lin will be ok. keep me posted on what dr quek and the Ent doc say

afternoon!
jane, yesterday too many people, too confuse, too messy, in the end, i did not manage to take photos. Haha.
so boring at home how har??counting down 4 more days to 19th. wun be having anymore celebration jane.
I feel that I am a weird mummy. i do view dash differently. Sometimes, I have negative tots, you know? I dun mind sharing, the reason why i have another child also because I feel that dash has this birth defect, it is like there is this defect that makes him not complete. I know he is my son and i love him wholeheartedly, but somehow, i just feel he is not complete. bad right? Also, after losing a child before, I do fear the unforseen. so I die die have to have another child so that i can feel more complete. silly?

kkf,
dun think u r silly. personally i think tt paige is imperfect too, cos she didnt stay inside me for the 37 wk, the hernia scars (though is nt obvious but i know is there) plus the puffiness on her eyes which is still there (even her neonat wasnt v comfortable with the puffy eye). Seeing her eye specialist tomolo, hope it will resolve soon...
before she is born, i have a lot of expectation but now i m just taking things easy n just happy with the milestone she has achieve, i find tt i enjoying it alot...

i think like disneymickey say. think you could be too tired and bored as you were having home rest all this while before violet arrive. yeah go for a nice good break after your confinement
. eat someting nice or yes go for a spa?
i also find handling one kid "want my life". i also think you have done something which i am not sure if i can haha
actually really hor, celebrating kid one month (sometime even is bday party) also hard to take any nice pic as too many pple and too busy. unless we engage a photographer (which is costly )
shelllow
oh today paige seeing the eye doc? don't worry, everything be fine.

afcai, you mean after hernia or after heart surgery?
after hernia, besides not able to drink milk and became very cranky, no other effects really.
for heart surgery, after the surgery, he looked a bit pale, so got to replenish his blood loss by making him eat well, but after the surgery, also not much effect leh, he was just like his usual...
now he only needs yearly checkup at kkh. He can run, jump, do anything just like any other kids.
Yeah, perhaps i am too stress up and bored. haha. yes yes, coming saturday is my ROM annivesary, going to dump the kids with in laws and maybe my mum (cause i dun think my in laws can cope with two), and go relax.
Actually i really wish i can go back work sooooooon, cause got excuse to dump the kids with in laws and childcare, and then go shopping once in a while. now not working, if i dump kids with in laws, like very bad.

kkf,
Think it should be ok for you, once in a while place Dash and Violet with your in-laws while you go for retail therapy
they will understand you after being 'house arrest' for so long, you need time alone
if paiseh, maybe ask your hb to ask whether they can help out
when we want time-out, my hb will ask his parents to help out, of cse we leave the maid with them too, as D&D are only 2 and they sure need extra pair of hands

oh u shld try catch that show on chinese med. its really nice and even thou i am not very into TCM but then its really interesting to know the various differnet herbs and they explain why certain herbs is so costly.
re abt insurance for seeing doc (ie i think u refereing to GP), siang is rejected by the other agencies. Siang is under my company doctor scheme thou (in additional to the H&S scheme i mention earlier). does your company offer that to the staff?

I only knew that if A got infected, both KKH and private ped. would prescribe antibiotics and after she finished the course, the mucus would clear. Until today, A still see docs frequently. This morning, hb brought her to see doc. again cos she has sensitive nose that leads to cough. Sigh!!
I believe Kate is like A, just lazy to talk. It was very hard to get A's eye contact previously cos she had very short attention span. She did not look at my lip when I gave her private speech theraphy at home. Quite frustrating then. The consolation was she absorbed what was taught and she started to speak in sentence at corrected age 3 yrs....quite late liao. Even when she speaks now, certain pronounciation is not clear. Guess, I have to send her to phonics class. At age 4, she will look at my lip to pronounce new words if I request her to do so.

abt imperfect : I dunno..I just see Nada as premature & stronger child (compared to fullterm) coz of the challenges she has been thru. Nada also had hernia operation and anemia, bld transfusion. I more blame myself for the high bld pressure so cause her premature at first but now I see it as fate. coz I know I did wat I cld at the time, under the circumstances. I cldnt cope physically somehow. Thank God, she is fine. anyways after couple of years, I thk the label 'premature' will be put at the back of our minds. not really think abt it later on
btw my fren recently has a fullterm baby. has heart defect - the tubes/artery supposed to be on the right side turned on to be on the left side, the left ones are on the right.there is also a hole, dr say the hole is keeping the baby alive as the arteries not in rite place. even some fullterm babies do have challenges..

another thing is that sometimes e kids pick up wat we feel abt them - gd or bad. I noticed that those challenged kids with long term disabilities, the ones that end up capable & stronger than peers are those with parents who dun let them think that they are lesser abled than others. with that mindset and education/training - they r able to do more than their peers, and same/more than their able bodied counterparts.
honestly I feel even my asthmatic (fullterm) hubby cld benefit from that kinda thinking from his parents rather than this that cannot scared sick as a child

Be strong and dun get overly worried. FYI, fever fits is normal and common in children. Even full term babies/children got them. If this is the first episode, most likely the doc. will discharge her soon and ask you to monitor at home. Tests will be conducted if it happens again ..... touch wood!
A had 3 fits attacks when she was a baby after discharged from KKH, (every alternate day and stretched to about 10 mins or more, which is considered long ....) Tests were performed on her and thankfully nothing serious. The neuro specialist said that it could be triggered of by the wound in the brain as most premies had brain bleeding. A had brain bleeding too and thankfully it wasn't at a serious stage. The neuro didn't want to take chance so A was put on fits medicine for prevention since then. However, Neuro specialist is going to take her off her medication soon.
What I am going to say is Ezann will be alright. She will probably be discharged as soon as her fever subsides. Take care!
Be strong and dun get overly worried. FYI, fever fits is normal and common in children. Even full term babies/children got them. If this is the first episode, most likely the doc. will discharge her soon and ask you to monitor at home. Tests will be conducted if it happens again ..... touch wood!
A had 3 fits attacks when she was a baby after discharged from KKH, (every alternate day and stretched to about 10 mins or more, which is considered long ....) Tests were performed on her and thankfully nothing serious. The neuro specialist said that it could be triggered of by the wound in the brain as most premies had brain bleeding. A had brain bleeding too and thankfully it wasn't at a serious stage. The neuro didn't want to take chance so A was put on fits medicine for prevention since then. However, Neuro specialist is going to take her off her medication soon.

Same here, I was so quilty that I delivered A so permaturely for no apparent reasons as I led a healthy lifestyle .... no smoking, drinking, late nights etc..... The quilt feeling only went away in Nov 2007 when the ENT surgeon finally close the hole via surgery. Then I suddenly feel that I am set free and my heart was as light as a feather!

Pte speech therapy at home means = do what speech therapist asked me to do at home...actually hor, if you ask me, those short session with KKH is not good enough cos child takes time to warm up, moody etc.... so therapist will ask you to do exercises at home and they collect feedback from you the next time round....I think private speech therapist though expensive, perhaps will spend more time with your kid cos it is charged per minute ..... Being subsided patient at KKH, I personally feel that the therapist teach the parent how to teach the kid, that's about it.

Mummylian, dun worry, ezann will be ok. she will recover very fast. do keep us updated. nowadays stupid virus everywhere, kids get sick especially those attending schools very easily.

My neighbour's son just dignosed with autism at age 2. sorry, hope you dun mind, i think it is good to make sure that there is no other issue, and only that kate is taking her time to talk.

Hihi,
Aiyoh, I never MIA la, I thought I wrote down saying my girl will be discharged and I can only be back here on weekends as my MIL hse no connection and it's troublesome to bring the vonnection and laptop to and fro.
It's so difficult to catch up with the posts, I am back Home liao. My girl was discharged on Friday the 13th, and we went over to stay at my MIL's place..., as agreed to come back every weekend with my mum to accompany me. This is because They(My Hubby and his mum) thinks I can't cope with my baby and it's better to have someone around. But ytd I came back Home with my baby, it was only Tuesday. This is because my SIL's 2 kids fell sick, down with flu and cough and thus I can bring my baby home. I think the whole arrangement was a cock-up, I didn't wanted to go and had dicussed the possibilities of the 2 kids getting sick to my hb before my girl's discharge, but since he insisted, I chose not to make matters worst.
Since Friday, eventhough I was staying at my MIL's place, I was looking after my girl Full-time. The only thing that was helpful was buying my lunch and dinner, and bathing my girl. I only let my MIL bathe my girl as she keep thinking it is the most difficult task and she is worried I can't do it well. Today alone at Home with my girl, I did everything and all's well...
It is tiring to look after a NB and especially when she is still on 3 hourly feeds and with lots of supplement to add on to her milk. But I am glad that she is feeding and sleeping well...only irritating part is she wants her diapers changed immediately after soiling them. The nurse had warned us before that normal babies used 7-8 diapers a day, but mine used about 14 pieces daily. She is pooing lesser now after we fed her lukewarm BM.
It's nice seeing her grow everyday, She was discharged at 2.140kg and on Monday we went to Polyclinic for follow-up, she was 2.310kg. Now only waitig for her to grow liao, hope she will not have any complications, cross my fingers...
BRB, eat dinner first.

nice to see u hear. oic....no wonder when i visit my boy on sat, did not see yr gar liao. got more and more babies coming in. last time, the rm is only 8 bb. now, 14 bb (mostly twins wor but they are not in same rm or either one of them discharge liao) liao. the 2 nurse so busy wor....esp during feeding time. so now, when i visited my boy, I will feed him loh.
re:sick kids.
now, our preemies are more prone to infection. so better not to let them encounter near sick person. bb sick no joke....they only cried and cried which can be quite stress to parents.
same thinking as my mum last time when i had my gar. my mum said I dunno anything so everythg she did and i'm just a assistance there to see what she need. afterall, she 's a great helper.
hmm..yr gar on what supplement??
true, gd to have someone ard beside u and yr bb esp my mum told me how I settle my meal then when I got to face bb alone. so once my boy discharged and my cl left, she will come over and help out.
now, my bb 's weight is hitting 1.8kg soon and surgeon is comung today (hubby did not meet him as he has not come yet when hubby lefy hospital at 3pm) to review my bb's hernia issue. think more or less, he needed surgery. today, my bb jaundice level shot to 260 man. y'day,was only 188. sian....

afcai,
I also noticed in creased no. of babies but not inceased no. of nurses before I left. The day b4 my girl discharge, i called up to see if there is still enuff EBM, the nurse who picked up say she can't check for me until about 1 hour later as she is alone!!! *Faint* Imagine only one nurse... Then she came back telling me not enough, maybe need 5 more packs for that day and the day after... Next day, the discharge nurse asked if I want to bring back 6 packs of my EBM! *faint* again...think they "Galang Gaboh" cos short of manpower. Anyway, the nurse who discharged my girl and did the explanation on the appts to follow-up and supplements to bring home also "kuku"...Abit messy in her explanation...
Preemies catch virus not only cry and cry...normal babies catch cough or influenza, at most also only get influenza and cough...for our babies, it will affect their lungs, and lungs development...So it is really no JOKE!!!
Really if we have our babies and everyone thinks we cannot handle and want to do it for us, then when will we learn??? This is what I think la...
I like someone around me and baby also, but I don;t really like staying other places except my own house...it's about being comfortable bah...I would love my MIL's help, but she has another 2 kids to take care of and hardly have the time also, and of cos, she can't possibly be at my place too. My mum will accompany on weekends, which will be nice.
My girl is discharged with Protein powder, MCT oil, Poly Vitamins and Iron drops. She had anemia and thus had the blood transfusion, so she has to be back with iron drops. All these are to be mixed in the EBM. Will be seeing the Neonat next month and will be advised if she still needs these after that.
Some pics of Baby Jerlynn at Home:
This is how she slept in my tummy also as I always see in my scans. Forever hands on her face, that's why now it's so difficult to swaddle her, somehow or rather, her hands will be out automatically...
When she is in "alert" mode
