sweetness banned

today was Ayra's check up at Ppum..follow up for her heart condition.. she was diagnosed with a hole in her septal wall,or arterial septal defect.. and the pressure gradient on her aortic vessel was quite higher than normal...or what is called aortic stenosis.. it wasnt bad or anything, but it was something to be alarmed about. we've had our share of tears and nightmares, but Alhamdulillah all is well..

we requested to be reffered to Ppum as they have the best peadiatric cardiologist there and our status as a government servant entitled her to be fully covered financially. if let say anything worse should happen, we are ok.

so.. again, aalhamdulillah.. upon the first few check ups there, it was confirmed that she doing well. the hole has closed. it was most probably not even a hole, but a Patent Foramen Ovale. now it is closed..but still have to monitor the gradient. the last time checked, the pressure reading went down a lot.

today basically was to see her development.. she is growing by the book..active..no smurf color.. eating well..growing within the upper percentile..she can pick herself up by holding on to something. she can sit on her own, crawl, and just now, she could stand without holding on to anything. but only for few secs,then she fell. the next appointment will be when is 1y.o.. do an echo..

hubby n me took a day off. going there itself took us about an hour.the traffic was really bad. really2 bad. i hate the road.. and when we were there, as usual, waiting for the turn. albeit,it wasnt really bad for us. Allah eased our path there after a long stressful journey in the traffic. we found a parking easily. and the waiting time to see the specialist was less than 2 hours. so, alhamdulillah.. all is well..

after ppum, we went straight to Empire Shopping Gallery. jab kesihatan negeri selangor was doing a carnival on Kenali Ubat Anda: know your medicine. ayra met her ayah's friends and colleague..and we had lunch in Italliannies. she didnt want to eat her Hienz, so i gave her a taste of angle carbonara. she loved it! despite not having any teeth to chew, she was still able to enjoy the few small strands of pasta. and chewed with ger gum like a nenek.haha.. looks like Mummy has to start googling for new recipes, ayra has grown bored of her regular meal.

apart from having pasta, she had her tongue n tummy exposed to the sweetness of Tutty Frutty. oh my. i knew she would be hyper on sugar later.and boy how i was right. back home, three of us on the bed, mummy and ayah hoping to catch a nap before settling other things... but. but ayra just wont stop moving. she crawled on us. grabbed us by the hair, the nose, the skin. she smacked down on us, pull us, fell on us..lied down on us. pulled our shirt,nose and hair.climbed on top of us and showed her butt to our face, she would not stop m.o.v.i.n.g. yup. lesson learnt.

ayra, no more sweets till u are 20.
