Hospital Roommate # 2 & 3

Hospital Roommate # 2: Baby Iza

Right after Baby Hung left, Baby Iza was admitted due to food poisoning. Baby Iza just turned 2 years old. She is a mixed Caucasian. Father is a local mixed "Chinese-Ang Moh" while the mother is a Dutch.

Baby Iza was cranky throughout her stay. She typically glued to the maid and mother and wanted to be cuddled AT ALL TIMES. So, the mother and maid complained of tiring hand. Luckily, Baby Iza was allowed to discharge the next day as her food poisoning is a mild one.



Hospital Roommate # 3: Baby Feng

Of all, this is the most heart-wrenching. Baby Feng is a 3+ month old, Down Syndrome and Heart Baby boy. He is so tidy and weak. He suffered from cough and it was too much for him to cope until he needs to be under oxygen and heart monitoring.

Also, his condition was so bad that he can't drink milk by himself but through tube. According to the nurse, he has no energy to suck the milk from the bottle. Physio is a no no for him (even he needs it badly) as it will worsen his heart!

I felt bad to see Baby Feng to suffer and I believe the parents will even suffer more! I am glad I did the amniocentesis test to confirm whether Ern was a Down baby. It is really a physiological trauma to the parents.
