Hi Everyone,
Haven't been logging in - Isaac is back since 2nd Feb (after 104days in the SCN), and I had been sooo busy. I have been lurking off and on though, but had no time to write.
My boy just had his ROP laser done for his right eye few days back (bcos of unresolved stage2) - hope the doctor covered everything. Won't know till his follow up check next week. Before that, I was extremely worried about sedation and anesthesia for him. It was performed at the PICU ward, just in case. Thank God, he was brave and didn't fuss - the doctor managed to do it without any sedation.
Am now just thinking how I love him to bits and how (unnecessarily?) worried I can get about these minor procedures. Am I paranoid?!
I read that someone is looking for good storage bags for their EBM? I use Playtex 8 o.z. sterilised storage bags. They are the most economical I could find (at RM$ 52.90 for 125 pieces 8 oz bags). I tie them up with a rubber band, label them with a sticker and pop them into the freezer upright
David, Jas - hang in there. Our babies are little warriors.
I have not mentioned it before, but I'm also grateful that I've stumbled upon this forum when my boy was in the SCN. You are all great support and knowing you've been through similar experiences, I was able to vent freely without having to explain myself (or to explain the As and Bs , hehe).
Anyway, he is now 3.8kg at 9-weeks adjusted...yayy for us! Do you know where we can get the growth charts? I haven't visited a regular paeds yet.
