The Arrival of Adam Nor Fariz Chapter 1


Salam..
Alhamdulillah, my most beloved gem was born on the 8th of August,2008 1t 12.02am, which was exactly on his 9 months and 10 days of age in the womb. He was 2.65kgs at birth. We name him Adam Nor Fariz bin Ahmad Nurul Fakhri. At the point of laying my eyes on him, I started to feel the love that has been growing since the first month of pregnancy, to grow more and more, and yet it's getting warmer as days went by.



On the 3rd day after his delivery, Adam was diagnosed with jaundice. The klinik kesihatan nurses urged us to send him to the hospital for further check-up and he needed to be hospitalized as well. But, due to my mother's instinct, I wanted him to be sent to Kuantan Specialist Hospital instead. So, at 7pm on the 13th of August (Adam was 5 days old), my hubby drove us to KSH. Actually, it's my mindset that makes me decide to go to KSH instead of typical GH. Typical GH..?You know what I mean. My experiences of being hospitalized for 'alahan' twice early and middle this year make me despise GH terribly!~ Yes you heard me right. I'm so not a big fan of any government services. They are slow, terrible, bad PR-embedded skills, and et cetera. And the award for The Nation's Worst Ever Service falls to Malaysian GH!~ *GH = General Hospital. In addition, they treat you as if they are the most intelligent people on earth, and for you, if you work in other fields, such as engineering, education, or even soccer field, you are considered as uneducated, dumb, 'kampung' and not so well-off.

I'm so in love with my boy, there's no way that I would let him to be treated in such manner, even I could not stand the way they treat me. If I treat my boy like a prince, of course I am expecting others to treat him the same way, get what I mean..? Besides, the Klinik Kesihatan does not provide an accurate result of total bilirubin compared to KSH. During my stay in KSH, the paediatrician gave me all the access to the nursery, since I chose to breastfeed my boy. I explained to her why I chose to exclusively breastfeed my baby although I might be having a little obstacle in managing the hours when I start working. However, comparing to other matters, my boy would always come first in line.. ;)

Nenonatal Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and other tissues of infant babies due to the high level of bilirubin. It can be detected even by pressing the skin, or applying pressure to the skin 'so that it reveals underlying skin and its subcutaneous tissue.' (source: wikipedia).

err...i'm out of words, so pen-off for now...till then..Salam..
