Been MIA & Some Updates: JEL's Hospitalization, Party Preps and New Antics

Had been MIA in this blog for a long time. We got so busy since JEL was admitted in Chinese General Hospital for 5 days due to severe cold, cough and asthma. Anyway, below are some updates about JEL's condition, 1st Birthday Party Preps and New Antics.

JEL's 5-Day Hospitalization

As I mentioned on my last post, hubby just brought her to the hospital to have her checked but the pedia didn't allowed them to go home. Since I was left in the office and I wanted to see our baby, hubby fetched me back from home. He also needs to bring clothes and other needs in the hospital. I was so sad seeing the IV on my baby's hand. She woke up at around 1am upon hearing the nebulizer and was so happy seeing me.

I can't explain the feeling but I was happy to be by her side while she is having the nebulizer thing. I needed to be back to the office the next day. Just sleep for a while in the hospital and was back home again at 4:45am. Hubby drove back to the hospital.

On her 2nd day, got a good news from her pedia that she might be able to go home on Saturday. We're so happy that time. Hubby fetched me again from home after work. The guards are strict and they didn't let hubby entered the room because our yaya is already inside. Only 2 bantay is allowed. He slept in the car.

3rd Day

It was JEL's 9th Month Day. We pumped some balloons to entertain the celebrant. However, hubby needed to go back to office to get the Philhealth papers for us to be able to go home the next day which is a Saturday. He also picked up JEL's birthday cake. It was good that the cake is nice and tasted good. It eased the tiredness of hubby. The only sad news is her pedia told us the JEL's condition is worse compared the day after and told us that she can't go home yet. She will still check if we can be discharged the next day but worst case it will be on Monday.

We also transferred from semi-private to a private room. Hubby finds our room hot and noisy. The other patient whom we share room is already 5 y.o. and keeps on playing with his cellphone. JEL can't have a good sleep. The adult watching over him is not stopping him and we don't want to make a bad deal with that.

4th Day
All of us were able to sleep better in the new room. JEL's pedia came in early. She said that she is better than yesterday but still can't be discharge because her breathing is not yet well. Sad because we will be staying longer in the hospital.

JEL's IV was transferred to her other hand because the liquid is not dropping anymore from the bottle. It was heart breaking hearing JEL crying. Hubby just advised me to just stay in our room. When baby is back, she cried a lot. The hand where the IV was removed seems to hurt so much. It was good that we're able to stop her from crying when we let her see herself in the mirror. She smiled and talked to her image in the mirror. Hubby went out to buy a portable mirror so that we won't need to go the the restroom for her mirror remedy.

5th Day
All Saints Day. Boring day for us. We are just inside our room with no TV. All the private rooms in CGH old building doesn't have one. They only have one in the new building. It's just sad that there was no available room in the building anymore. But it is still a blessing that we brought our laptop in the hospital. JEL was able to watch Yo Gabba Gabba videos that we saved in our Hard Disk.

6th Day
We're discharged. Her pedia came in early and gave us a discharge order. She advised us to give PRED10 for 2 days to complete her 7day steriods at home. We're able advised that from now on, JEL will be needing a maintenance medicine for her asthma (2 inhalers - ventolin and flixotide). She needs a puffing tool called Baby Haler. The procedure needs to be done 3x a day with a minimum interval of 6 to 8 hours. The more she cry the better because she'll be able to inhale the medicines better. We're able to get our of the hospital at 2pm. CGH discharge system is so slow. Btw, since JEL was not able to have her trick or treat, we let her wear her costume on our way back home. She was sleeping throughout the trip. She was happy when we got home and started playing with toys but have noticed that she is not moving her other hand freely. She might have thought that she still have an IV. We're telling her, " JEL, you can move your other hand". Hehehe. Well, it's nice to be back home. Hubby cleaned our room before we slept that night. Thanks also to my mom. We asked her to stay with us to help our yaya with JEL's need until she gets well.

FAST TRACK to Last Saturday - JEL's follow check-up
She is getting better and better. Our pedia is happy to see a 1kg increase in her weight for just 2 weeks. She was admitted @ 7.4kg and she is now @ 8.4kg. She is also now 72cm tall. Our yaya is also telling us that she now have a good appetite. She is now consuming a minimum of 20oz milk/day and eating a saucer full of rice 3x a day. We're happy for her improvement

NOW, we need to get back to Party Planning and Preps.
Below is my checklist.
Venue: DP Paid
Caterer: Pencil Booked
Lootbag items/Prizes: Almost complete. Been to Divi AGAIN last Sunday.
Photog: DP Paid
Venue Decor: Pencil Booked
Cake: Supplier Selected. Need to discuss design and pay DP.
Celebrants Attire: Need to Finalize Designs

Btw, just want to rave about JEL's new tricks and antics at 9months.
1. Stands and Dances w/o support (the longest we've seen is ~15s)
2. Attempts to walk w/o support (The last time we saw her, she was able to make 2 steps inside her crib)
3. Knows how to " Mano" but without holding the hand of the elder yet. Just letting her forehead touch the hand.
4. Makes a kiss w/ and w/o being instructed.
5. Appreciates things and kisses them. When we gave the Doctor kit that we bought from divi, she got excited upon seeing it and kissed it. Last night, my mom brought the books that my sister bought for her. She also kissed them.
6. Claps with sounds.
7. Says mama, dada, dede, mommy, daddy, gaga or baba for yo gabba gabba.
8. Swings her body while dancing.
9. Sings inside the church with the choir.
10. Imitates laugh.
11. Knows how to call someone and asked her/him to come nearer (hand movement).
12. Waives Hi and Bye.
13. Do Hi-5, a-line and aprub!
14. Anticipates a call from mom. Our yaya told me that one time, when I called home and she was sleeping. She woke up when the phone rang and said "mama?".
15. Sings and dances to the song " I have to hands...."
16. Plays with other kids and never cry when things or toys are being taken from her. She loves to SHARE and not "madamot".
17. No more stranger anxiety. No more crying but she still needs some time before she will playing with new faces.
18. Don't cry anymore before we leave in the morning. She is now waiving her hands to us. Btw, we don't say bye to her, we only tell her " See you later".

Well, this list will be longer if I'll list every single details. That's all for now. Just a happy and proud mama.

PS:
I'll tell you a secret. Shhhh. JEL doesn't have a tooth yet. We've been waiting for it for quite some time already. Hahaha.

JEL in Hospital

Sad but true. Hubby brought JEL to the hospital this afternoon due to colds and cough. We thought that she just needs antibiotic just like the previous weeks. But today is different. Pedia wants her to be confined. She is under observation for Pneumonia and was confirmed to have ashma.

Now, I'm here at home and waiting for hubby. I just prepared all the things needed to be brought to the hospital. We hope and pray that she get well the soonest. Need also your prayers. Thanks!

JEL's 1st Fever

I was not able to update this blog for some time because JEL got sick. A day after we got my biopsy result, JEL had a fever. We still went to the office the next day thinking that it will not get worse. However, we got worried when our helper started to text us that JEL's temperature is increasing. When it reached 39C, Hubby and I decided to go home and called her pedia for other instruction that she can give.

JEL looked fine when we got home but we can see that she is weak. Her temperature is also lower. Got to Chinese Gen Hospital after 2 hours. She still doesn't have a fever. Her pedia also can't explain why. She just instructed us to have a CBC of JEL the next day if she'll have any fever within the night. We all thought that she is now better. We even decided to drop by my SIL's house in Cubao for a dinner. She was sleeping on our way back when I started to feel her temp rising. It was good that we have a wet towel to use on her. We're not able to bring her paracetamol. We just asked our helper to buy one when we got in my SIL's house. JEL was still playing with her cousins but every 3 hours, her temp is shooting up. She was also chilling with the A/C and fan "ON". We decided to bring her to the PCDC for the CBC at 10pm. We just waited for the result for almost 2 hours before going home. Reached our home in Cavite at almost 2am. JEL still have fever and her temp is rising an hour before her tempra intake. We texted the CBC result to her pedia at 6am. She prescribed an antibiotic because the CBC showed an infection. The dosage is too much for JEL. It was 5ml 3x a day. It was also kind of mentholated as per the smell. We needed to do 3 drops of it since she is choking if we give her more. We're also instructed to bring her to a baby friendly hospital for a CHEST and PA X-RAY. Thus, we brought her to Asian Hospital at 9am. She was crying inside the x-ray room. We're able to do the chest x-ray lying down. But we really had a hard time for the side view even with hubby's help. Hubby just decided to have the x-ray done while JEL is standing. He was holding JEL's hand and I was holding her feet. She looked super "kawawa" after the procedure. My heart really broke seeing the tears of my baby and the fear in her face. We went home after that and hubby just claimed the result after 5 hours. It was good that the result is negative. At least the suspected primary complex was eliminated. She still had slight fever for 2 days. It was good that September 21 was declared a holiday. We're able spend more time with her and see her development. She got well few days after that.

Right now, I am still worried because she again had cough and colds last week. Ariel brought her pedia last saturday (10/10/09) and she again took an antibiotic. She jsut finished it today and now under observation. Another thing that worries me is small lymph node below her right ear. It was there for almost 3 months already. The pedia just advised us to regularly check it if it will increase. We pray that it is nothing serious.

Our Ondoy Experience

We also have our share of Typhoon Ondoy. It was not really bad. We're still blessed. We just got stranded in SLEX for almost 5 hours, not able to go home but able to sleep comfortably in a friend's home in Las Pinas. More detailed story here.

Fibroadenomatas with Fibrocystic changes

This is the diagnostic of the masses that were taken from me. In lay-man's term, it is benign. Thank God! Now I can sleep well.

Prolonging the Agony

We went to Asian yesterday for my Post Surgery check-up as well as for the Biopsy result. We got there at 2pm but the doctor arrived at past 3pm. She removed the plaster on one of the holes and just replaced the plaster of the other 2 because they are still slightly open. She informed us that the biopsy result is still not available when she checked in Medical City and we're asked to come back on Wednesday.

Waah, can't wait for the result. Can't have peace of mind without knowing it. But I still pray that everything will be fine.

Finally it's Done but with 3 Holes and 5 Stones

Our Sticker Pass to OPD

Finally, it's done. The Mammotome procedure was done on me last Tuesday. My schedule was at 1pm. We got in Medical City 10 minutes before 12 noon. We proceeded to the Breast Clinic but we're asked to go to the HMO clinic first for endorsement. When we got the papers, I got to complete the patients form and was asked to wait inside the clinic. I was called to enter the operating area at 1:40pm. There was a waiting area in the operating room. I was given a hospital gown and asked to change. Hubby also stayed inside the waiting area. I was escorted to the operating room proper at 2pm.

That was the start of one of the longest 2 hours of my life. Upon entering the room, I was asked to lie on the operating table. I was kinda shy seeing a guy inside the room but totally forgot about it when the surgeon started moving. Waah. The 1st thing they did was an ultrasound. I was expecting that they will hang a cover by my face so that I will not see the procedure but they didn't. I was facing the monitor throughout the procedure. All the while, I was thinking that only one mass will be removed but the surgeon did ultrasound on both breast. There were 2 masses in my right and 3 masses in my left. This didn't matched my latest ultrasound which only showed 2 masses on my left. The new mask that was seen has an irregular shape mass. I hope this is nothing serious.

Anyway here is what I have noted during the procedure:

2pm to 2:19
Ultrasound was done by the surgeon. Pictures of the masses where captured and printed.

2:19 - 3:03
The biggest mass was removed. I got 4 shots of anesthesia because I started to feel pain during the last part of the mass removal. Sobrang malalim na yata yung mass. Sobrang ngalay na din ako. I was praying that it will be done soon.

3:03 - 3:07
The surgeon dig a new hole on me for the other mass. Hindi daw kaya with just one hole. The position was far from the 1st one. Another shot of anesthesia inside. It was good that it did not take so long. They were already able to clean and put gauze on my wounds.

3:07 - 3:10
1st shot of anesthesia on my left. Then 2nd shot was done inside. When she starts drilling down. I felt pain. She again gave me another shot of anesthesia. The 1st mass in my left was removed.

3:11 - 3:23
Another shot of anesthesia. Used the same hole to remove the 2nd mass in my left.

3:24 - 3:49
Another shot of anesthesia for the location of the 3rd mass. The surgeon used the same hole.

3:49 - 4pm
Cleaning time and changed hospital gown. The previous gown was already stained with some blood.

During the procedure, I wanted to tell the doctor to stop kasi nangangalay na ako. I was also scared about the pain I'm feeling while the 1st mass was being removed. I am also not prepared for a bilateral mammotome. I thought, only the biggest mass will be removed. It was so tiring. I can still recall the words that I am hearing from the surgeon and the assisting nurses which are POSITION & SAMPLE. Position is when the suction is being stopped to monitor or locate the mass. This is also the time when the surgeon is verifying if all the mass was already removed. SAMPLE means that the surgeon is now ready to get a sample of the mass. This is the removal of the mass - part by part. Whew. The next sound that I'll be hearing similar to a hand dryer. I am also seeing the assisting nurse getting the sample from the suction instrument to the sample container. Each mass has its own container. Another word that I remembered was LIGHT. Lights "ON" for the 1st level anesthsia. Lights "OFF" if it is being injected inside because the surgeon is looking at the sono monitor. I was happy when the lights was permanently turned "ON" because we're already done.

After I changed my gown, I was escorted by the nurse to the waiting room so I can change. After changing, my knees started to shake. I don't know why. I felt cold and weak. But it was gone after some minutes. I was thankful that it was finally over but my hands are totally red. Sobrang nangalay siguro because it was placed under my head while the procedure is being done.

Until now, I am still not sure it I still want this procedure or just the ONE TIME BIG TIME operation which I have before. I was 100% awake during the procedure and it's kinda torture. My eyes were focused on the screen. I don't want to look at the injection and the suction tool. I was counting the minutes and hoping that it will be done soon. Anyway, the agony will not be over until tomorrow. I have a check-up with the surgeon and will also be receiving the Biopsy result. I hope it will be benign.

Another concern I have is the Total of 10 Anesthesia shots that I got. I'm hoping that it will not affect my memory. I don't want another attack of MOMNESIA. Hehe.

MAM - MAM - MAM - MAM & MAM

Before we left the office today, I am already feeling the ants biting me inside. Although it will just be a minor surgery, I am still feeling nervous. Maybe it's because that I've been there already. I can imagine the operating table, the green cloth that will be hang in front me. I will not see what the doctors will be doing but I'll still be hearing their voices. Waaah. Scary.

But I totally forgot this feeling when we got home. Upon seeing me, JEL said, "MAM - MAM - MAM - MAM". We're surprised. It was the 1st time she uttered these words and this is the day before my MAM (mam-motome). Hehehe.

JEL Got Sick for the 1st time

JEL had her monthly pedia check-up last Saturday (August 29). She gained 0.5kg. This is better compared to her gain last month. She is now at 6.7kg and 70cm tall. She had her measles vaccine that day. It's good that she didn't cry that much (less than 3 seconds, hehe).

According to her pedia, she is not on the heavy side but she is healthy. She just had colds twice but for a short period of time only. However, she started to cough last Monday. She was prescribed by Loviscol 3x a day. But her condition didn't improved. She even developed colds. It was just good that she didn't had any fever. We brought her to her pedia yesterday because she started to vomit plegm. Her throat is clear that's why she was only prescribed to take antibiotic for 7 days together with the Loviscol.

Today, she still have both colds and cough. She even vomitted after dinner. But it was expected as per her pedia because of the antibiotic that she's taking. We are just thankful that she is not a crying sick baby. She plays and still very active. We just pray that she'll get well very soon.

Mammotome on September 8

Last Friday (August 28), Hubby & I took a half day off from work in order to have my ultrasound analyzed. The accredited doctor of our HMO doesn't have weekend schedule that's why we are left with no other choice but to leave from work.

The onconologist / breast surgeon told us that based from the pictures, it doesn't exhibit the characteristics or a cancerous cyst. But, we still need to do biopsy due to it's size (2.3cm) and age (more than a year). She suggested to perform "Mammotome" on me. The procedure will be done on the 8th of September (Mama Mary's Birthday) in Medical City.

I am beginning to feel some fear because the doctor already explained to me how this is done. This will be my 2nd operation. The last one was done way back 2003. I just hope and pray that everything will run smoothly and the biopsy result will be benign. Sigh.

Lobulated, Vascular and Appears Taller than Wide.

Masses in the following locations in cm:

PREVIOUS PRESENT
(10/04/08) (08/16/09)
RIGHT
12:00 B 1.73 1.94
2:00 A 0.52 not seen
9:00 B 2.69 2.38
9:30 A not seen 0.44
10:00 B 1.18 not seen
10:00 B 1.06 not seen

LEFT
11:00 Retroareolar 1.17 1.29
2:00 A 0.77 0.63

The mass at the 9:00 B position of the right "B" is still lobulated, vascular and appears taller than wide. No calcifications seen. The rest of the visualized masses are hypoechoic solid, oval, parallel to skinline, circumcribed with abrubt interface and without calcification. etc

CONCLUSION: Slight interval decrease in the size if the lobulated solid mass at the 9:00 B position of the right "B". The rest visualized ,asses demonstrate benign feature.

This is the result of my sonogram last Saturday. I got a little scared because it is still there after almost 15months. See history here. But hubby assures me that it's gonna be alright. I hope and pray that it will really be alright. We still don't know at this time because unfortunately, my previous surgeon/onco is not accrecited anymore with our new HMO. I still need to wait this week to have a checkout with the accredited surgeon/onco of Intellicare in Asian Hospital. We also still need to check if she will be available on Friday since it's a holiday. Anyway, here are some pix of my hubby and baby while we are waiting for my turn in the radiology room.

RTO, Wedding and BPS

Today, hubby and I had our RTO (Required Time-off). Our Company is requiring all the employees to render 12 days off for this quarter as a cost cutting measure in response to the global crisis. This is somehow beneficial to us because we need to do a lot of errands this coming weeks. But we still hope that we'll be able to recover soon.

By the way, we used the RTO today to attend the wedding of Ariel's Friend (Red and Sari). It was held in Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish while the Reception was in Dad's West Avenue QC. The couple looked really happy for this special day of their life.

From the reception, we went to SM Megamall to have my BPS in In My Womb as required by my OB. I need to have a check-up tomorrow. According to her, labor is already starting because of some bloody and mucous show. This somehow excites me but I am also feeling some fears. Hehehe.

By the way, here is the BPS result:

Score: 8/8 = GOOD
Baby's Weight: Increased from 3239 to 3155 grams = GOOD
Amniotic Fluid: Decreased from 20.8 to 13.44cm = GOOD

Preggy Diary - Week 38

Yesterday, we went to visit my Endoc to consult about the change in my sugar level. She said that it is just normal and gave us the targets to follow.

Pre-Breakfast = 80 to 94
Post Meal = 85 to 120

She also advised me that if my pre-breakfast will go below 80 then I may need to reduce my insulin intake by 2 units. I also told her about the dizziness I am feeling lately. She said that I may be anemic but after she checked my eyes and said that it looks normal. She just advised me to tell it to my OB.

When we got home, I texted my OB and told her what the Endoc told me. She replied with a sigh. Hehehe. She told me that I'll just follow what she instructed my last Saturday. The target that we will be using is 90 for post meals.

Now, we're kinda confuse. But we still pray that everything is REALLY normal and everything will continue to be Normal until I give Birth.

Preggy Diary - Week 37

We had our weekly pre-natal check-up last Saturday. As per my OB, my last week's BPS is still ok. My IE showed no difference compared to last week. I need to do more walking. She gave me another medicine to help in my dilation. She also checked my blood monitoring result. She said that my recent sugar level is low and may need to decrease my insulin intake from 8units to 6units. She also suggested that I continue to go to work. This will help in my dilation.

We just had our lunch in the hospital while waiting for my BPS. We're 3rd in the list. It was just good that the 1st two patients didn't take long inside the room. However, our little girl was in a deep sleep during the BPS. It took us a long time wake her up. The result of the BPS is not so good. We are expecting my water to decrease but it increased from 12 to 18. I texted my OB and she advised me to lessen my water intake but never to dehydrate myself. Sigh. Hope everything will be fine soon. Actually, hubby and I were thinking about the BPS result. The sonologist used a new machine that day. We don't know if it was already correlated with the old machine. Hmmm. We have to wait and check next week.

From the hospital, we went to Festival Mall to buy some nursing bra and do some walking while waiting for the time to pass by. I have a scheduled pre-natal massage in Rebirth Spa at 5:30pm. After the walk, hubby and I had a little PM snacks in Shakeys. I just ordered the Salad Chix Pizza. It comes with 2 pc of Mojos but I gave them to hubby to reduce my carbohydrate intake. We're done eating at 5pm and arrived in Asian at exactly 5:30pm. Just in time for my massage. It really relaxed me. It's good that I still have 2 more sessions.

Right now, we are worried about my blood sugar level. It is getting lower and lower. We will need to consult my endoc soon.

Preggy Diary - Week 35 and Week 36

Week 35 - Jan. 03
Returned to my endoc. She read my blood monitoring diary and said that everything looks good. She just need a new blood test from me - TSH and HBA1C. I have them done in Healthway ATC where she holds clinic. We just had lunch and then went to LPDH to have my weekly ultrasound (BPS - Biophysical Profile Scanning). The doctor arrived late and I was 3rd on the list. Baby didn't cooperated at first. She was sleeping. I needed to get up of the bed and eat a little to make her move.After I have eaten a hotdog from the hospital's canteen and got back to the ultrasound table, the doctor already saw an acceptable movement from our little girl. From Las Pinas, we drove back to Alabang to have my 2nd session of pre-natal massage in Rebirth Spa in Asian Hospital. It was so relaxing since I've been having a lot of backaches recently.

Week 36 - Jan. 10
9:45 am in LPDH for my pre-natal check-up. As per my OB, the BPS result is normal and good. She noticed that I lose some weight because of my GDM. I almost can't eat anything. She also did an IE on me. It kinda hurt. She said that I am 1cm dilated however my cervix/uterus is still thick. I may give birth in 2 to 3 weeks. She also told me that there is a big chance that I can give a normal birth. She also gave some instructions to us for the preparation of my birth giving then she again gave me a request for my next ultrasound. She also prescribed a lactation medicine - Natalac which I need to take once a day.

12nn in Healthway ATC for my endoc check-up. All my blood test results are normal. However, my blood sugar level before breakfast for the last 2 days are above 94. She told me to increase the dose of my insulin by 2units if it will not go below 95 tomorrow. I need to see her again next week.

Hubby and I just had our lunch inside the car.because we need to be back to LPDH at 1pm for my BPS. Unfortunately, the doctor arrived at 2pm. The only good thing is that I am the 1st in the list. According to the doctor, everything is normal including the cord. Our little baby didn't cooperate again during the movement monitoring but she started to move when hubby played some music thru our cellphone. Thanks God.

After our check-up, we went to SM Southmall to buy some more baby stuffs, home stuffs and did some grocery shopping. So far, here are the additional items we bought for our little girl.

PS:

I feel in love with the socks. They are cute, right?

Preggy Diary - Week35

I was not able to provide a preggy update lately because our last few weeks was like a roller coaster ride.

From my last update, I had my 2nd OGTT last Nov.16. But I was only able to get the result on the 13th of December during my OB visit. It was higher compared to my 1st. As per my OB, I needed to consult an endocrinologist. We both felt bad about it. However, we felt excited when we had our 4D ultrasound and saw the features of our baby. She has a very shubby cheeks.Cute!

121808
We went to Heathway in ATC to visit the endorsed Endoc by my OB. She told us that my readings are really high and I need to start monitoring my blood sugar but I need first to undergo a Diabetes Education in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Medical Center asap.

122208
Attended the Diabetes Educ in OLPHMC. Unfortunately, the Dietician was sick and not around. It was only the nurse who conducted the class and just advised me of the recommended diet. We bought a new gadget - a glucose monitor meter. This is expensive. But I am more concerned of the pricking and the sight of blood. Sigh.

122708
Follow-up check up with my Endoc. Accoding to my glucose Monitoring Book, my glucose after meal is within limit but the fasting is not. I needed to inject 4units of insulin everyday 0.5H before dinner. If after 2 days, my reading won't change, I need to change it to 6units. Another bad news. Sigh.

My not so nice new Gadgets.

From ATC, we went to SM Sucat to wait for my OB. She has no clinic in LPDH (The OPD is close until 01/02). While waiting, we shopped for some baby stuffs. It was fun and exciting.

We made our reservation with my OB at 5pm. Her sched starts at 6pm. I was 4th in the list. I should have reserved earlier. My OB was not happy with my glucose issue. She said that I'll be needing to have a weekly ultrasound to check for baby's size and I really need to give birth on my 38th week because the baby might get bigger as a side effect of my GDM. She said that I need to take more care of my diet. I also had my last dose of Tetanus Toxiod.

Now, I already had 4 dose of insulin as advised by my Endoc. The last 3 days was good. It was lower than 100. But this morning, it went up again to 99. I don't know why. My sugar after breakfast was also high (130). Good thing that my after lunch is lower (104).

Diabetes Mgmt Diary

We hope that my blood sugar level especially the fasting will be corrected as soon as possible so that I won't need to increase the dose of my insulin intake. We are also worried about our little girl.

Please help pray for us.

I'm scared

I have detected a big fibroadenoma inside me. But I hope it's not what I think it is. I had one removed few years back and it was good that it was benign. I need to consult a doctor. Please pray for me. I'm scared.
