Baby chipsmore is still jaundiced. All the way upto his lower limbs. hubby took him to KK buntong to check his bilirubin level again. This time it is above photo level. Since ward 6C in GH is terribly congested with babies, i have decided to admit him to KPJ to prevent cross infection. I called Ang prior to admission to choose the best doctor for him. I chose Dr LSF (Dr K's husband) to take care of him. According to Dr LSF, Chips is having deep jaundice. He needs to be admitted for phototherapy. the risk factor for his jaundice : mother O positive blood group, forceps delivery and GDM.
I gave him direct breast feeding before going home. I really wanted to roomed in with him but mother in law and hubby insisted that i should rest at home. Hubby will send the expressed breast milk to him. I felt so sad to leave chipsmore in the nursery. I could still remember his eyes before i dumped him there. I missed him so badly that i cried once i reached home.
I felt like everything has been my fault. Probably i am suffering from post partum blues. Mum said that how can i missed the jaundice when she can noticed it. Why never check bilirubin for 2 days? mother in law said my baby has jaundice cause i took too much ginger. Again... i feel like everybody is blaming me for his jaundice. I felt very depressed and hopeless at this point of time. Worst is spending new year eve without my baby by my side. I hope that he can be discharged home soon.
