Everything went well at the hospital today. The ultrasound scan went without a glitch, though Baby bawled and fussed initially but when she realized that it didn’t hurt, she quietly saw her ‘pictures’ on the ‘TV’. That’s what we told her – that the doctor was taking pix of her kidneys and that she could watch them on the TV (the monitor).
According to our surgeon, the ultrasound scan showed that her right kidney (both the moities) is growing well. Though a tad dilated (it will always be dilated as it was dilated from day one since she was in-utero), the dilation is significantly lower than pre-surgery. Our surgeon isn’t worried about the dilation as there is now no more kidney reflux. We just have to keep her constipation at bay as constipation is one of the main causes of UTIs in children. She was prescribed with a big bottle of Duphalax and has to consume 10ml should she have constipation.
I am very amazed that despite having gone through the nightmarish stay in the hospital after more than a year ago, she still remembered the X-ray room very much! The second she stepped into the radiology department of the hospital, her mood changed from lively and jovial to one that’s tensed. Each time we walked closer to the X-ray rooms, she fussed and cried. When she was brought into the X-ray room, she kept saying “I tak mau injection!”. I think she still remembered what she had gone through during the many radiation scans (which required injection of dye into the IV catheter on her hands and feet) and x-rays during her 3-week stay in the hospital in May last year. My poor baby. I hope that all those bitter and painful experiences will now be behind her once and for all.
Pictures taken at the hospital will be posted later….

Hi there,
Can share with me your experience with your baby-c uti infection. My baby boy is only 2 months old and we just got discharged yesterday. I have been breastfeeding him, so am not sure if I can give him Waterfall D-Mannose. or cactus juice or coconut too.
Please help to share!
Glad tat everything is fine.
so happy to hear that Baby C is well… you know children have great memory – those that traumatised them. My girl was traumatised during her very first hair cut when she was about 1 year old. And for the next half a year, every time we went near the entrace of the hair dresser, she would start crying and didnt want to enter the door. But, time will heal, baby C will forget her ordeal in the hospital soon…
Mery and Chew Lee… thanks for the well wishes.
Sandra…pls email me at shireenyong@gmail.com. I will gladly share with you my experiences with Baby C.
Great to hear this Shireen 🙂
I’m very happy to hear of Cassandra’s outcome. All is well and under control, that’s what matters most. She’ll remember hospitals for some time now, but as time pass and routine visits are pleasant and she gets to watch her body on TV, she’ll be ok.
Amber was the same, after her fall and being stitched up, held down by 6 adults, she hated hospitals, took her many more visits before she stopped crying when she sees a ‘doctor with stethoscopes’.
happy for baby C and U!!!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t worry, kids have short term memory so she won’t remember much later. Bryan is clueless about his accident.
Yay, fantastic news!!! 🙂
So glad to hear that! God bless! 🙂
Wow what a glorious morning news for me! Thank god Baby C is back on the right track. God Bless!
Glad to hear that, very good checkup.
Don’t worry, she will not remember a thing when she grows up.
When I was a baby, I always was in and out of the hospital. The injection needle even broke inside my butt because of my struggle. That is what my mom told everybody. I couldn’t remember any of it.
so glad to hear this news!! you all have a great holiday now. 🙂
glad that all went well!!!
I am glad that all is ok now 🙂
