Jan 2010 update

Its time for Noreen's vaccination spree again, this round Pneumococcal Vaccine, I choosed Synflorix from glaxosmithkline. Dr. Margaret says these are thimerosal free. Noreen weight 8.11kgs and cried only a little.

She has fungal rash on her buttock for the pass 3 weeks and Dr. Margaret prescribed Zaricort on our last visit. She specifically told us to only apply it for 7 days. When the 7 days are over Noreen still had a bit of the rash and we stoppped the cream. The rash came back and we just tried to keep the area clean by using water to clean it everytime she peed.
We ask Dr and she told us we can continue the cream for max of 14 days facepalm.jpg.

When we came back, being the usual paranoia first thing I do is went online and double check if the Synflorix is really mercury free, opps no information could be found on GSK website, so I called them up and spoke to Mr. Sree the product manager, he told me he would come back to me about this. The next day he had a doctor to call me up and confirm that Synflorix is mercury free, so I think paying RM245 is worth it after all.

We change Noreens diaper from Huggies normal to Huggies Ultra, within 3 days the rash had subside and improving tremendously.

Noreen now is learning to sit, she has to use her hands to keep balance, she can grab things and is really curious, she would grab anything and put in her mouth, when we try to take it away she would cry.

She has started taking porridge yesterday, we use ikan bilis soup to cook porridge and mixed in mashed potatoes and carrots. She refuse to take in the beginning and somehow Lita manage to con her to finish her bowl.
