YAY!! This is the last nite picture taken at HKL. Here's Nathanael drinking his RCF Milk. Yum Yum. [One Can of *RCF Milk can only be portioned out to 4 drinking periods and it must be consumed within 24 hours of opening the can!!] So Nathanael was discharge from Hospital Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, 26 September after completing 9 Days in HKL. We completed our "session" with Pn Mariam our Dietian. She carefully explained to us his Menu Meal Plans and how we can prepare the food and how to substitute the foods (so many types of Food .. based on an exhaustive list ...called the Food Exchange). We have to watch out for the Protein Levels, the Carbohyrdate Levels. For Example : If we wanna give Nathanael a slice of Papaya, then we would have to cut his rice for Lunch & Dinner. Cos one slice of Papaya = 4 Tablespoon of Rice - in terms of Carbohydrate levels! So we will have to follow the menu stringently to ensure that Nathanael gets his correct content of Water, Fats, Carbo, ...

Nathanael probably will be discharged by tomorrow (Tuesday). YAY!!!! As everyone might think will be our reaction......... BUT! !!!!! Quite the scarry!! The stress begins for us.....aiyoh! !!

Your baby is now nearly 5.5 inches/ 13 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighs approximately 5 ounces/ 140 grams. Her skeleton is mostly rubbery cartilage, which will harden later. A protective substance called myelin slowly begins to wrap around the spinal cord. With the help of a special stethoscope, you can now hear your baby's heartbeat. There's almost nothing more comforting or exciting than hearing your baby's heartbeat galloping along. Source/Link to Baby Centre [tags : darentiff tiff pregnant baby ]

Nathanael turns two years old today on 22 September 2006. Today is also Nathanael's fifth day in Hospital Kuala Lumpur for his Ketogenic Diet. So instead of eating Cakes and Yummy Food during his birthday, this time he will have to sacrifice and eat one of the Ketogenic Diet Meal Plans set for him. Nate: U didnt wish me ler? Leave a comment lor We decorated the Ward a bit with balloons just to liven things up and to give everyone a cherry mood. Tks to mom-in-law who bought the ballons, party hat (on Nathanael in the pic above) and party stuff. Nate : Err .. how come we didnt invite the A&W Bear? This is Mah Mah (Grandma) showing love to Nathanael on his birthday. Nathanael got a cute little teddy bear and lots of love. Nate: Tks Yeh Yeh & Mah Mah I love you too .. so much! Kung Kung (Grandpa) holding Nathanael. Nathanael has this great ability to recognize when his grandparents carry him, cos he just simply manja (can't find an english word for manja) them so much. Lo...

Hey ..... check out my new CRIB! They have moved me from Bed27 to Bed6. Well the three Beds around Bed27 were the "acute areas" where the nurses have to monitor the progress of the children at all times.

In the late afternoon today, we also did another EEG (ElectroEncephaloGram) scan for Nathanael. (We think, this may be the fifth EEG he has done) Thankfully Nathanael was sleeping well, so they didnt need to sedate him. We carried him down from his Ward to the EEG room, the person in charge put up all the lines, and carried out his EEG tests. This is the computer that tracks the read out from the brain activity. It measures the signals in a form of curves. All these wires are put in strategic area around his head and also his chest. This is to measure the activity of brain neurons that's moving thru his brain. We won't get the results yet as it would take some time for them to study the graphs and all.
