After spending 6 days in NICU, finally Samantha got the green light from the doctor to be discharged last Saturday. She looks chubby and rosier upon discharged because of the IV drips.\u00a0 Hope she continues to be chubby and have rosy cheeks like Mommy.\u00a0\u00a0Not only she managed to gain back the weight she lost but it increases a little to. She is now 3.2kg. She was 2.97kg upon admission.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So what is the cause of her vomiting?\u00a0 Like I mentioned in my earlier post<\/a>, X-ray taken, ultrasound was done, MRI brain was done, blood and urine samples taken for tests.\u00a0 Everything seems to be ok.\u00a0 So the doctor concluded that her vomiting is due to her Mitochondrial Disorder.\u00a0 People with Mitochondrial Disorder may have episodes of vomiting and migraine.\u00a0 If this is the case, Samantha’s vomiting may relapse.\u00a0 Nothing can be done to cure her vomiting. She may still vomit once a while but as long as she is not dehydrated or losing weight.\u00a0 If the same vomiting relapses, the only thing that can make her better is the IV drips.\u00a0 We hope there won’t be frequent visits\/admission to the hospital.\u00a0 All these while, her liver and kidney is not very good too. Do continue to uphold her in your prayer that she won’t have further illnesses.<\/p>\n Doctor adviced that due to Samantha\u2019s special condition, she will need extra tender loving care at home. That would mean we are to not allow her to cry excessively, must pamper her, make her as comfortable as possible.\u00a0 We suspected that her vomiting was also because she dislike taking some of the vitamins.\u00a0 Because of this, doctor has reduces some of her vitamins temporarily so to not stress her too much.<\/p>\n Thank you all for your prayers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After spending 6 days in NICU, finally Samantha got the green light from the doctor to be discharged last Saturday.
