It's Kayden's routine followup at KKH for his prematurity.
As usual, he had Anaemie - Anaemia is a condition in which the haemoglobin concentration in the blood is below a defined level, resulting in a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells.
However, his condition is improving after 1mth of increased Iron supplements twice everyday. Hopefully he will reach the normal range by the time he goes back for another followup in Oct.
He had a sudden growth after being sick for the past few weeks. hehe.. He weighed 6.6kgs now and with a height of 63cm, head circumference of 41cm. It's quite a funny followup today. When the doctor asked how's Kayden's progress, I told her about his crawling. She looked at me in doubt, "Could it be just normal flipping? You mean he push forward?" hahaha.. "Yes, he pushed forward using his knees".
Okay.. I know she won't believe me with my words, cos he's just 5mths old biologically. haha.. When she did assessment on him on the observation bed, haha.. Her comments were "Very good, my boy" "You are really smart" "You did a great job"
She and her nurse were amazed to see Kayden grabbing things and passing from hand to hand. To see him sitting on his own without external support but by his own hands on the bed. He's indeed progressing faster than others. Finally, they BELIEVED what I told them earlier. hehe..
Other than his blood issue, all were fine. He's really a cute, happy and cheerful baby. Just today, he had about 11 outsiders carried him cos he smiled and talked with them. hahaha.. From Kieron's schmates parents, to waiting patients' parents in KK as well as foodcourt stall holders at Yew Tee.
