it has been a very long day for both me and baby iyad..baby iyad took his bath at 6 in the morning as he had an appointment with the ophthalmologist at 10.30 am...we had to go early as we followed papa to work today...
while waiting for his appointment, we stayed at mama's room and chit chatted with mama's friends... iyad put his very best behaviour in front of sweet aunties...we went up to the clinic at 10 and met with lovely prof j (the ophthalmologist)...baby iyad got his pupils dilated with medication...my poor baby was struggling letting the doctor to drop the medicine into his eyes...his eyes pressure was checked with tonopen and again he struggled and cried, feeling uncomfortable and angry...
we waited for a while to let the medication works as to dilate his pupils...a few more drops of medication was put into his eyes as the pupils were not well dilated at the first examination...in between i breastfed him and he vomited quite a lot after that due to the side effects of the medication given...on the second examination, the pupils we well dilated and the optic nerves, macula, fundus and its peripheries were well visuaalized..alhamdulillah, they were all normal...iyad's next appointment with prof j will be in january next year...
we had a break before the next appointment with the paediatrician, prof r at 4.30pm for iyad's vaccination...i was very hungry and sleepy...ate my potato salad and peanut butter sandwich with a cup of hazelnut coffee...baby iyad also had his lunch of mixture of peanut butter-potato-coffee tinge of breast milk (walla)...had my prayer, breastfed iyad again (this time no more vomiting, alhamdulillah) and changed his clothing and nappy...off we went again to the clinic upstairs for his vaccination...
his current weight is 4.3kg and length is 56cm...he is growing well within 1 month since his last follow up...as expected, iyad screamed out his voice for a while due to pain..then he was off sleeping again comfortably in our wrap...we were very happy on iyad's development as it was at par as other babies at his age...
we went home feeling very tired...now iyad has already asleep after multiple doses of breastfeeding session since we got home..hopefully he won't develop any fever after the vaccination...good night, sleep well everybody....
