Today is my first scheduled visit. I had an unscheduled visit last week because of the Jaundice that was caught by Dr. Kim upon my hospital departure. Today, is my offical 2-week check-up. Of course I was excited! Because I get to go outside of the house again!
But what I didn't remember was that my doctor's appointment was in the morning. It means that I had to wake up early in the morning, which is totally not cool! The appointment was at 9am, but I was already awake by 6:30 because I wanted my breakfast. I didn't think Daddy was too happy about me waking up so early, but hey... "tough!"
Once I had my breakfast, Mommy and Daddy got changed, and very quickly, we were on our way to the Doctor's office, along with my Grandma. (Yeah, Grandma has been staying at our place for a few days to help out Mommy and Daddy.) We arrived at the doctor's office in about 10 minutes, and it didn't take long before the nurse yelled out my name again! Yes! I just like people calling my name. But from that point on... the rest of my morning just didn't go too well.
First, the nurse asked Daddy to take off all my clothes. Even though I pretended to be sleeping, I failed to avoid being undressed. Just like last time, I had nothing by my diaper on... and then I was butt naked when I was left on the scale. I came in at 8 pounds even! Yup! I've gained weight! Then Daddy took me back to the examination room, and we waited for Dr. Kim.
Dr. Kim walked in about 5 minutes later, and he immediately proceeded to checkout almost every bone in my body. He also told Daddy that my Jaundice still looks significant. Although not serious, Dr. Kim told Daddy that he would like to do a blood test to find out where the numbers stood.
"A blood test? What does that mean?" I thought.
Well I soon found out the answer after Dr. Kim left the room. The same nurse who took off my diaper came in and asked Daddy to hold me in his arm. She then grabbed my ankle, and used some kind of device to puncture my skin!
"wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed.
She took almost 5 drops of blood from me! Considering how tiny I am, I think that's a lot! Don't you think? It was so painful I could barely feel my foot!
After she was done with my blood, Mommy came over to hug me and told me that it's over! It was then when I started to have regain some sensation from my foot. I stopped crying soon after.
We went back home after the doctor's visit. Because of the trauma that I went through, I was exhausted, and I felt asleep in the car almost immediately.
As I continued my sleep when I got home, Dr. Kim called Daddy to tell him that the test result was not that good. Dr. Kim told Daddy to change my diet from breastmilk to formula for 24 hours, and redo the test again tomorrow.
Well, when Daddy told me that I have to redo the test tomorrow, he should not have told me while he was changing my diaper! I was soooo scared that I have to redo the blood test again, I peed my pants. The only thing was... I didn't have pants, nor diaper on. And this is what happened. Ooops! (Click on the picture to enlarge.)
Anyway, for the rest of the day, I was fed baby formula. The good thing with baby formula is that Daddy gets to feed me too! Meanwhile, I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow's blood test again!
Below is a video taken at Dr. Kim's office today. It showed that I was being weighted, and my height measured. It is so embarassing that my entire naked body is being video taped, and now published on the internet!
Until next time, please tell me that the blood test will not be as painful as today's. :-(
