Mui mui returns home

Just thought that Mui mui is easy to handle, but life is really like riding on a roller coaster.

1/3/01 follow with MCH and said mui mui was a bit yellow and need to get to hospital for further check. I went there found that her NNJ level was still ok and back home. By night time, Mui Mui refused to eat and found very sleepy. We then went to hospital again at mid night.

That night the AED was very full, we really don't know how long we needed to wait. They only allowed me to get into the consultation with Mui Mui that really made me stressful. A tearful mum with a blank brain.

Thank God, within an hour, Mui mui was admitted to special baby care unit. The doctor and nurses there were helpful, they patiently explained to me why Mui mui was not feeding well and result in sleepyness. They tried to feed her though Mui mui refused and vomit. May be we were too stressful, they asked us to get home and rest and they can help to settle Mui mui. Without choice, we left. It was really heartbroken to leave your child in the hospital alone without a diagnosis. Of course, that night with no sleep.

Next morning I went to the hospital with puffy eyes and dark circles. I think I really look like depression and the nurses were kind to me and try to explain to me how to feed Mui mui so she can gain weight quicker. Doctor's investigation found no abnormalities though weight loss that really sooth me.

3/3/11, Mui mui discharge home though feeding still not too well with me, I got her to feed for 1.5 hrs and lots of struggle. Today, we went back to MCH to check her body weight, mui mui has gained some weight and the yellowness has gone down a bit. So I need to work hard on feeding her.

Thanks for all the calls, and prayer. Really, when I am so depressed and tearful ( because of mui mui 's problem, my wound pain and of course the hormones), the only support that I can feel assured was from God, as HE Knows the way and He is the Cure.
