As the day for Baby to do a post surgery MAG 3 scan is drawing nearer, I am getting more anxious. I have started once again to prepare her mentally for the procedure and to remove any fear that is in her as the procedure will be a traumatizing and painful one (painful when the catheter is inserted into her hand and down under). It would be traumatizing even for adults. I hope she will not cry like she used to, each time she sees hospital staff wearing medical scrubs<\/a> getting near her.<\/p>\n
As Baby grows older, she is getting more matured in her thinking. She understands reasoning and explanation more and I can easily knock sense into her. She seems to be able to understand why she needs to do the MAG 3 scan. She knows that she did not have a normal urinary tract system when she was born and she knows that she had undergone some surgeries when she was little. Once in a little while, I will show her the pictures of our 3-week stay in the hospital after her surgeries about 2 years ago. That 3-week stay in the hospital will forever be etched in my memory. I can remember vividly everything that transpired in the hospital, how Baby would bawl whenever she saw the OT staff in Dickies scrubs<\/a> and how frail she had turned into after the hospital stay. Can you believe that she weighed a pathetic 7.5kg at 14 months old?<\/p>\n
