Nathanael @ HUKM for IV Methylprednisolone

Image
Nathanael is admited to HUKM from 30 March - 1 April. He will be undergoing the IV Methylprednisolone (Steroid) procedure. We are hoping that this will help stop Nathanael's seizures. Both of Nathanael legs (toes rather) have been used. The right toe is where the intravaneous Methylprednisolone is done and the left toe is where they are measuring his heart beat and pulse. Please pray along that it will all go well. We are uncertain if it will work, but we are giving it a try. Read some of the emails that we sent out the past few days and check out the photos and videos of Nathanael in HUKM. Nathanael @ HUKM Update Dear all Here's a short MMS message from Tiff Line is in. We are in the Peads Ward. Starting drip steroids at 2pm and will be on it until midnight. We are doing good. Nathanael is very active, kicking away. Blessings Daren & Tiff

Nathanael's Methylprednisolone procedure @ HUKM

Dear Family & Friends We just returned from our follow up visit with Prof Ong (Peads Neurologist) in HUKM today (29 Mar). She has strongly advised us to start Nathanael on the IV Methylprednisolone (Steroids) ASAP. (her actual words - "aggressively start") IV Methylprednisolone Possible Side Effects a) Zero Immunity b) High Blood Pressure c) Glucose Urea Therefore Nathanael has been scheduled to be admitted tomorrow (30 Mar) and will be in HUKM for the next few days. (30th March-1st April) There is no guarantee that this treatment would help but we MUST try. Please keep us in prayers as we take this step of faith. Thank you for always keeping us in your prayers, we really appreciate it. Blessings Daren & Tiffany p/s :- After this treatment Nathanael will be homebound for about 2 weeks.

[at Damansara Specialist Centre] On his third day of life, he was admitted back into hospital due to jaundice, whilst under observation, our pediatrician (Datin Dr Vasantha) discovered that he had low sugar levels (hypoglyciema) After a week in hospital, our doctor found that his sugar level was ok, and the jaundice had subsided, and Nathanael was discharged from the hospital. On our follow up visits (both Nathanael’s third & fourth month) with our pediatrician, Dr Vasantha started to notice that his development skills were slightly slower, and she asked us to seek for a 2nd opinion. On the fifth month we visited a Pediatrician Neurologist (Dr Malinee) at Pantai Hospital who during consultation noticed that Nathanael was having seizures. She immediately asked us to admit him and informed us ...
