Baby C’s Post-Surgery (2nd Op) – Day 2, Sunday 24 May 09
Baby C started to be more and more alert and responsive yesterday. She was feeling way better than she was before her second surgery to fix her guts. When we asked her to make her trademark ‘funny face’, she gladly showed us like this: Seeing baby make her trademark ‘funny face’ and being so responsive made all…
Baby C ‘s Second Surgery!
By now, most bloggers already know that my sweetie-pie went through another major surgery yesterday evening. My joy of being able to breastfeed baby was shortlived when her tummy looked more and more distended by the hour yesterday. Baby was in total discomfort and she kept fretting and wanted to be carried the whole day. My…
Baby C’s Re-admission – Day 6, Post Surgery Day 16
Yesterday afternoon – the branula on Baby C’s hand leaked. When the doctor opened up the branula, we saw that the hole on baby’s hand had expanded, thus the leakage.

Updates On Baby C’s Lazy Guts

Another Surgery?

Updates On Baby C’s Re-admission
Baby C is still puking today. I had only fed her with 3 teaspoons of soy bean milk to go with her antibiotics this morning and she puked them all out, together with yellowish bile liquid about an hour later. It was really horrifying to see her puke as not only did the vomit pour out…
Baby C Re-admitted Into Hospital
Baby C was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Words couldn’t express how happy I was when our surgeon told us that Baby C can be discharged after being cooped up in the hospital for 11 freaking long days. I was also so happy to be able to feed my baby food again. She was happily…

Post Surgery Day 5 (Sunday, 10 May 09) Early in the morning, the x-ray machine was wheeled into our room for the x-ray to be done on Baby C’s guts and chest since she was still puking. The x-ray showed nothing wrong with her guts and chest. There was however lots of gas towards the…
