Amber alert..

Just been to NUH again today.. baby is growing well, so is the cyst still growing.. but something else became the highlight of attention today.. which is my amniotic fluid level.. its getting higher compared to last month scan.  Baby seems to be swallowing the water still but maybe at a slower speed now.. which potentially meant that something could be causing some block in his pipe which slows down the swallowing action... which could also explain why i am feeling so discomfort these days, exceptionally bloated and full.. this could also cause misleading signal to the womb that baby gestation period is at a later stage and may potentially cause pre-mature delivery if the water level keeps increasing again... oh my! baby is only at its 26th weeks now! Prof Prabha was here to view the scan as well and suggested close monitoring of the foetus if this goes on, they will need to perform 'tapping' on my foetus inside my womb! which means sliding a needle into his cyst while still inside my womb and tap the water out so as to reduce the size of the cyst to ease his swallowing...can't imagine that!!

The letter that Dr Choo gave me to Prof Biswas could only help me to get into subsidised ward during admission, i am still considered a private patient in NUH now.  So Prof Biswas advised me to get a letter of referral from the Polyclinic so that he can help to process my scanning and other fees at a lower public rate.. 

Prof Prabha was here today too but i heard along with many others but was standing behind the curtain watching the other xray screen, i heard that he brought along with him his entire dept of doctors as well as some visitors too.. i felt like a guinea pig.. but they were kind enough to stand behind the curtain and not making any noise so as not to let me feel awkward though..

So it seems like i have to be extra careful from now on and i have to visit NUH every two weeks now to closely monitor the situation with the profs.. and hopefully, we really hope we do not need to go into the extent of tapping or pre-mature delivery.. i am already tired enough after all these ordeal.. and i couldnt let this affect my work further too...
