Yu Ming's 3 months - Drooling & Gnawing

Little Yu Ming likes to suck his hand since he was 1 month plus old. We bought a teething water filled toys when he was 2 months old but he still do not know how to hold the teething toy properly and to gnaw it. Now at 3 months old, he start to drool more often and when he start to enjoying his hand biting and gnawing, his saliva will be all over his face.

First mother's day and father's day

This year (2010) is our first time celebrating mother's and father's day :P. Mother's day fell on 9th May and I was still doing my confinement, therefore we have to push out the mother's day celebration to 10th June. Coby was left at home with his grandpa and granny while his beloved papa and mommy went to G Hotel Penang to had their international buffet dinner at the GCaf.

For father's day celebration, we also need to push out the date to 30th June because BS was working on that day (20th June). 30th June is also BS's birthday and we enjoyed the 2 in 1 celebration dinner at Kampachi restaurant for authentic Japanese cuisine.

Jaundice (Hyperbilirubinemia)

Yu Ming was detected having Jaundice on the third day with Bilirubin reading at 244 and he was sent for photo therapy treatment for the whole night. Next morning, Yu Ming's Bilirubin reading has dropped to 177 but the pediatrician advised us to continue the photo therapy until 5pm and we only discharged from the hospital after the treatment.

On Yu Ming's 5th day, we noticed that he seemed so listless and hardly woke up all the time. We decided to go to the nearest government clinic on the next day (6th day) to do the Bilirubin blood test and the result was shocking us as the reading had increased again to 212. The nurse told us that government hospital will only accept the admission for the photo therapy if the reading is reaching 250 points and ask us to come back again to do the blood test on the second day. We was worried and decided to go back to Island hospital for the photo therapy and again Yu Ming had spent another night of photo therapy treatment in the hospital. The Bilirubin reading dropped to 127 on the next morning and we felt so relieved and also noticed that our boy had became more energetic and active after the treatment.
