Jaundice

This morning, I took a bath and I was so super hungry!

Well, this is picture of me after I bathed. I am very hungry!

And I tell you. When a baby like me is hungry, I mean I really need the food NOW! NOW and this means no waiting!!! ------------------------------ Later in the afternoon, my mother and grandma found that I was slightly yellowish. We went to a nearby clinic and my dad picked us up via a cab. My grandma is very good. She really took her best effort to prevent my eyes from contacting the sun. So she covered me with clean nappy cloth... So good right... The clinic doctor said I should be placed in the heating rays to make my skin colour back to normal. Then, I am warded to KK Hospital at around 5pm due to my skin being yellow. So my parents, with my grandparents went to KK Hospital and everything was normal. No fever, just that the jaundice level is high...271. When I was discharged on 16th of August, my skin was slightly yellow actually, level 124. Doctor did a blood test on me and said I was free to be discharged. :) But who knows the jaundice came back....

My mum, carrying me at the rays lab, talking to my doctor.

I was placed on the tray and spending my night over..

Before I was left alone in the ward, I suddenly opened my eyes and looked innocently at my parents... And my dad's heart is so touched...

I must recover from jaundice ASAP. Just to let you know that us, Asians, are prone to jaundice at the first few days of birth (usually 3rd day onwards). And this is because of our genes makeup.

But too high levels is dangerous as it may affect the brain, especially those level above 300. This is very dangerous...

Tomorrow, I'll be seeing my parents again....

Alone in the ward... Brrrrh!
