Hospitalized!

Mummy received a call from Dr Steven around 11.30am. Dr Steven told Mummy that my jaundice level is still at the borderline, no improvement and no deterioration. Mummy was given the 2 options again, to either send me in for phototherapy or to make sure I get enough fluids and to check again in 2 days' time. Initially Mummy's 1st impulse was to wait 2 more days. But then she decided to consult Dr Steven's expert opinion. And his opinion was to admit me for 1 day of phototherapy and do a blood test after that, and if my jaundice level goes down, I can be discharged. Dr Steven mentioned that he will arrange for Mummy to be admitted as well so that she can continue to breastfeed me. So he tells Mummy to have lunch and then come back to Gleneagles after that.

After lunch, we went to Gleneagles, Mummy did the admissions and then she brought me to the 6West nursery on the 6th floor. I was stripped of all my clothing and I had something covering my eyes, then I was placed under the ultraviolet light. The nurse told Mummy that she would wheel me out every 2 hours so that she can breastfeed me.

So every 2 hours, the nurse would wheel me out and Mummy would breastfeed me for about 1/2 an hour before sending me back for my suntanning session.
