UTI

First week of December, i started feeling a pain whenever i pass urine. The pain was unbearable and each time i will scream and cry. Mummy noted my behavior when i came back from cc that Friday but suspected it was more of dehydration. Monday(6 Dec 2010) came and principal Vash phoned mummy advising her to take me to the doctor. We did the very evening to Mt A A&E Clinic.

To confirm on UTI, i was required to do an urine test. This was a very difficult task for a toddler. Firstly, the sterilized urine bag had to be inserted into my diaper. Trust me it was extremely uncomfortable. Just imagine putting a plastic bag underneath. Yikes! Secondly, the design of the bag was too flat and urine is easily squeeze out of from it when i sit down. Thirdly, my water intake was not fantastic so it requires more effort to make me drink. Lastly, there is no indication that i have urine and got the right amount for the test.

Urine collection was lengthy and full of hiccups:
1. Waited for 1 hr, check bag and found that the bag was misplaced hence no urine collected.
2. A while after putting a new urine bag, i pooed. Hence, another failed attempt.
3. I am sleeply and my parent decided to take me home then send back the collection within 2 hrs as advised. We did it while i was asleep and Daddy took the sample to the hospital around 3-4am the next morning.

The result: I contacted UTI and i need to be on antibiotics for a week. After taking it for 3 day, my parents became uneasy as there were no urine culture done. So i was brought to my PD. He asked for a blood test(white blood count within range), Urine analysis(No infection - according to the nurse, might be due to
medication given by Mt A cured the infection without finding the root cause) then the urine culture(No bacteria - due to medication as well).

With Mt A's approach(No culture n straight antibiotic treatment based on urine analysis), we miss the chance to uncover the cause of the UTI. But i am happy i recovered. Dr Ong suggest we monitor for the next few month for recurrence. If so, i will need to have an ultrasound done. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Dancing baby

My favourite pop song now is "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz. I love to dance to the beat and this never fail to delight my parents. They will often request for more.

Free Free Free ...

Today marks the end of my second week at infant care, Mummy's first week at work and the day i started walking on my own. I started showing my ability these two day.
First, in school, when daddy came to fetch me home. Second, today while we were waiting for dinner to be served. Daddy and Mummy were extremely delighted and let me have the freedom to explore around myself. Free! Free! Free!!! ;p

Infant care

Monday(27 Sept 10) was my first day in infant-care@Cherie Hearts. It's located a stone throw from Mummy's new office.

We reached the centre at around 9.30am. It was my first encounter seeing so many kids around. Mummy started with the registration and dictating my habits to the teacher-in-charge, Katherine while i was doing my bits exploring with daddy by my side. I got to know a few little friends. There were Miguel(Portuguese)&Serra&Vishva[toddler] and Liam&Ariel[baby]. The toddlers were all around my age but two of them, Miguel and Serra, were on half days only. By noon, i was left to play with only the babies and Vishva. Rather lonely i suppose. I stayed till about 3pm before heading home. It was a common practice to pick up infants/kids earlier on their first day.

On the second day, i did a bit of crying when i realize Mummy is missing. Teacher Liz and Teacher Ho coax me with toys and food to distract me. I submitted and stopped crying. Later that morning, a boy named Josh came. I realized he was my age too. I was delighted having a new playmate but unfortunately he was sick. His parents got a letter from the doc to certify him fit for infant-care so he was here. However, the truth is he wasn't fit at all. He was having runny nose and quarantine to a corner of the room. Hope he get well soon to play with me. At around 5pm, Daddy came and i couldn't help myself. I was crying and crawling fast towards him. Daddy was heartbroken.

Today is the third and last day Mummy is allowed to stay in the centre with me. But i'm sure she will be dropping by often. I know Mummy also could't bear to leave me there and i will be good not to make her worry.

The Zoo 2

This is my second visit to the zoo. Mummy had wanted to bring me there before i go to infant care. So Daddy bought the tickets last night.

The weather was fantastic, no rain and partly cloudy. We reached the zoo at about 9.30am and went for the buffet breakfast at the Ah Meng Restaurant. Other than the photo taking sessions, i doubt we patronize it next time.

Comparing this visit with the previous, being older, i realized that i am able to appreciate the shows and animals more. My favourite show was "The animal friends show"@Kidsworld casting domestic animals like dogs and cats. This was my first experience see them perform stunts like jumping through hula hoop, catching Frisbee etc.

My highlight of the day was Waterplay@Kidsworld. I got totally drenched and was screaming and crying in reluctance when it was time to go :(. I LOVE IT!! I guess it will become the special highlight for me whenever i visit the zoo.

My First Step

I managed to walk a few steps without any support yesterday. Mummy was extremely delighted and kept holding her handphone for recording it. :)

That's me!!!
