Besides going for my usual routine check-ups, I’ve gone to Dr. Lu one other time when I had the eye infection which was cleared up easily with antibiotic eye drops. Today, I went again for another non-routine appointment.
I have been having watery diarrhea for two days. I have been soiling about 8-10 diapers each day, just like my days as a newborn. Both Mommy and my nanny have no idea why. No one else has these symptoms. The breast milk isn’t spoiled. The food isn’t spoiled. I don’t have a fever. Nor have I vomited. I am otherwise my usual self except for the watery stools.
Because Mommy was post-call today, she took the opportunity to take me to see Dr. Lu before my status worsened. Just as Mommy expected, it’s probably something viral. Other than trying keep up with my normal feeding schedule, I just have to wait for my body to fight it. Mommy was surprised that I shouldn’t even have any Pedialyte, but Dr. Lu says that it’s not necessary unless there is vomiting.
Even though it’s not my official 12-month weigh-in yet, my stats today are as follows:
– Weight: 22 pounds (with clothes and diaper) (about 50th percentile)
– Height: 30 inches (about 70th percentile)
– Head Circumference: 20.25 inches (> 95th percentile)
Dr. Lu noted that my head circumference may be a concern, but we’ll see at my 12-month check-up.
I sure hope I feel better by my birthday. I need to eat my birthday cake!
Tsui:
How’s Bobo doing now? Is he getting better?
When Bobo’s one year’s birthday. You can let him wear the gold ring, gold pendent, god bracelet that I gave to you years ago.
Do you still have the gift i like to give to Dedo & Holly? If you do, please wrap it. Although it is a small gift, it is my concern.
Hope you all doing well.
