Jordan’s Prolonged Jaundice
Prolonged jaundice simply means the baby is still jaundiced after 2 weeks, which is cause or concern because normal neonatal jaundice should disappear after 2 weeks. Jordan still looked yellow then so we took him for a blood test at the emergency ward of Hospital Kajang on his 16th day. After the blood test, his bilirubin level was at 11.4 which is still above 10. So I was put on the wheel chair for the 2nd time and pushed all the way to SCN, where we were warded for phototherapy earlier. At SCN, Jordan’s blood was again taken from his hand, (which already has many holes) and they also required…

Cool Features of the iPhone OS 5.1 on the iPhone 4s
After upgrading to OS 5.1 on my iPhone 4s, the first thing I found improved was the battery life.

Also, I targeted for his cord to come off before cloth diapering as the diapers are big and will cover his belly button, hence not allowing the area to dry as fast. I am so glad that he doesn’t have to use his terrible plasticky disposables anymore. Yea to no diaper rash. Here’s what I’m…

Jordan’s Jaundice Week 1
During my pregnancy with Jordan, I drank so much coconut water just because people told me this will avoid jaundice in the baby. Josiah had jaundice too and it was a most terrible time for me. So on Jordan’s Day 4 when the nurse came to visit, she told us that Jordan is definitely yellow, very yellow in fact. My biggest fear. So the next day, we had to bring him to the KK Kajang for a blood test. Actually, later I realised we could have just gone to the Emergency Department of Kajang Hospital which is so much nearer. Anyways, at the clinic, we got the shock coz his…
