Slim Down...

Photo was taken just few hours before we admitted her. Though watching her favourite cartoon, her face was so ‘sour’.

Poor little Ching Ern, slimmed down a lot just few days of fluid diet and poor appetite. When we brought her to see PD on Tue (before we admitted her), she was already 0.6kg down. With several days of just drip and diluted milk, I think easily 1kg. Even without weighting her, we can tell from:

- When we carry her, we are touching bone instead of fat right below her armpit
- Her backbone is so visible
- Her skirts and pants no longer fit nicely on her waist. It drops slightly below the waistline.
- The velcro closure tab on her disposable diaper has to be placed nearer to each other
- The stripe on her spaghetti blouse doesn’t stay on her shoulder but off to the arm slightly

Thank goodness her appetite is back. I shall blog about it in another post.
