...the road to recovery...

After the IVIG was administered, K's symptoms cleared and he made a miraculous turnaround. Suddenly, he was all hyper and happy again. So much so that he pulled the drip off his hand and ended up having his blood squirt in all directions. Damn scary and disgusting at the same time. Thankfully, the nurse chose to respond quickly to my distress call and rescued us from the pool of blood.

Oh, and K was mistaken for a girl again!!! Several times!!!
As of Sunday, K has been discharged from the hospital. We have to give him a daily dose of Aspirin and hope for the best during his heart scan next week. I've also gone abit mad buying baby supplements...I've stocked up on ChildLife products like the Colostrum with Probiotics, Cod Liver Oil, First Defense. They all have similar functions-- to build up the immune system and to protect against viruses.
Update on stats:
On the day he was admitted, at 10mths 24days, K was 8.445kg-- almost the same as 2mths ago!
A couple of days before discharge, at 10mths 27days, K was 9.06kg-- how it happened was a
mystery since he was surviving mainly on the drip.
On the day of discharge, at exactly 11mths, K was 8.9kg and 78cm tall.
