Since few days back, Javier seemed to be having diarrhea. He will pass motion at least once after every feed. So in total, it's about 7-8 times a day, as compared to 2-4 times in a normal days. Also the stool is quite watery and sometimes, the output is very little. We tried giving Soy milk to Javier but he kept refusing. As such, we decided to bring him to a PD for a check.
At first, we went to KK hospital as we thought the clinic there should be quite empty. However, the nurse told us that the wait could be 2-3 hours and suggest for our case, we should proceed to the emergency clinic. As advised, we went there but my goodness, the crowd there is ridiculous! I think there were close to a hundred people cramping there. And there was a small area partitioned out as fever zone where people with fever were all squeezed inside. After seeing that, I immediately decided to quickly leave that horrible place. We then drove to Mt Alvernia where we used to go for Jerlene's vaccination previously. To our surprise, the clinic was not crowded and Dr Tan was able to see us just before he left for some appointment. He advised us to do a stool test for Javier and at the same time, he prescribed some good bacteria for Javier. Without waiting for too long, we managed to collect a bit of Javier's stool and sent it to the laboratory. Results will be out in 48 hours.
Other than the diarrhea, everything else seems to be normal for Javier. He was still quite active and feeding well. Furthermore, his weight is also constantly gaining. We took his weight earlier in the clinic and he weighed about 7.4kg currently. So far, he has been gaining about 200g every week.
Javier, do get well soon!
