You must be STRONG and HEALTHY !!!!!!

Recent bllod test says that his Jaundice level has dropped slightly. Doctor said that it a good sign as it not increasing passing the crucial point. The peak of his Jaundice will be 10 - 14 days after his birth. All we need to do is to control his Jaundice level during the peak season and we will be fine for the rest of his life.

Baby Ethan, you must be strong and healthy. Papa Mama and everyone in the family will standby you no matter how hard life is. We know that it is really uncomfortable to sleep on the Phototherapy machine, but then, you have to bear with it. Its only a few days more.

Love you
XOXOXOXOXO

G6PD Deficiency


Baby Ethan is diagnose with Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is an X-linked recessive hereditary disease characterised by abnormally low levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (abbreviated G6PD or G6PDH), a metabolic enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, especially important in red blood cell metabolism. Individuals with the disease may exhibit nonimmune hemolytic anemia in response to a number of causes, most commonly infection or exposure to certain medications or chemicals. G6PD deficiency is closely linked to favism, a disorder characterized by a hemolytic reaction to consumption of broad beans, with a name derived from the Italian name of the broad bean (fava). The name favism is sometimes used to refer to the enzyme deficiency as a whole, although this is misleading as not all people with G6PD deficiency will manifest a physically observable reaction to consumption of broad beans. G6PD deficiency is the most common human enzyme defect.

Becaue of this, it affected him and his Jaundice level shoot up. Doctor advice us to let him do some Photothearpy to bring the level down.

Being Parents

Oh my god .... it is not an easy job being a father.
I really apperciate what my parents had done for me.

Hasn't beem sleeping properly in the night when he cries every 3 hours. Woke up and fed him.
I dunno why i am so happy to wake up to feed him. Usually when people wakes me up in the middle of my sleep, my mood will really be horrible.
 
It is really an enjoyable moment seeing him being fed. The moment he finishes his meal, back to sleep again So sweet the way he sleep so peaceful. This world is a very stressful world. If one could sleep like a baby in the night ....


I had done something which i never would dream of ,clearning the poo, bathing him and dressing him up .... 
I tell you, bating him is really hard work !!!!! Seems like he doesn't like the water.


Nontheless, we both will work hard to give him a good enviroment to grow up in. Just love hm so much .... My Son Ethan...
