Forever Grateful

After a week of bringing a new life into our family, it suddenly struck me that "I am a Mummy now" and this dream will never come through if it weren't for the blessings from Him. It is by His Will that our little warrior came to us. It is not by chance but by His will - for this I am forever grateful.

Today was my review with Dr F and we brought along little Andrew to see Dr F. It is with the help of Dr F and his team that helped us making our dream come through. Dr F was so delighted to see little Andrew - coincidentally his son's name is also Andrew!!!

My little trooper was such a sleepy head that he slept through the whole visit. And I'm glad that he brought cheers and happiness to the Dr F and his team with his visit today.

We were a bit worried about little Andrew because he looked a tad "yellow" so that prompted us to bring him along for today's review. Because otherwise we will have to wait for another day for his own review with the pediatrician - Dr K. Being first time parents, we were a bit paranoid I guess and we just couldn't wait for another day. So when Dr F said he does look a bit yellow and we should just go ahead and bring him to Dr K.

So we came home after Dr F since the pediatrician clinic is going to closed for lunch by the time we get there. I managed to steal 10 minutes of bed rest in between.

Of we go to see the pediatrician, little Andrew fell asleep on his way there. He woke up only because he had to be "changed hand" so many time disrupting his beauty sleep. While waiting to see Dr K at the waiting area, we saw other children going to see him and all came out sobbing or crying!! I guess all children hate doctors' visit.

When it was our turn, we went into the consultation room, it was decorated with so many cute stuff and kiddy wallpaper to entertain the kids!!! Dr K said he does look a bit yellow so he ordered a blood test - and it was painful for hubby to watch little Andrew being poked with a needle to extract a small vial of blood for testing. Little Andrew is such a brave boy that he only cried when the needle was stuck to his hand. And he stopped crying pretty quickly after that.

Andrew, the warrior, really made us proud today!

We waited outside the clinic for the return of his blood test result. He was still fast sleep. I'm glad he slept through :) When the result came back, it showed that he has very mild jaundice and did not require any treatment under the UV light. I'm so relieved that we didn't need to leave him in the hospital!!! Dr K said the reason that he is having a slight jaundice is a proof that his liver is functioning which is a good sign.

Other than being on the lighter side, he is totally healthy! We are so glad that the whole ordeal is just us being paranoid. Well, better safe than sorry, right?
