This is not a first time in the family. Both Abir & Aufa were also ex-NNJ babies. Abir scored 18mg/dl, and was diagnosed as Breastmilk jaundice which prolonged till 26days. Aufa however escaped the phototherapy instead as her SB level was below 12mg/dl.
Mumtaz was admitted for NNJ last Saturday eventually. Her Serum Bilirubin (SB) level was striking high : 20 mg/dl (= 340umol/l) of which the Paediatrician disallowed our idea of having a home phototherapy. Moreover, she was positive for the ABO incompatibility, means it is not a physiological jaundice. 6 days warded : it was not so stressful i would say. The room permitted baby rooming in with mom, and phototherapy was conducted in the room itself. Mumtaz was also cooperating so well with the treatment. only wakes up for milk and diaper change, would also few minutes of relaxing at nighthours. somehow, there were event of frustrations when there were up and downs of her SB level. The torture was merely of having the thoughts on the two kids left at home. Thanks God, Wan (my GrandMom) and Kak Cho + Houris were there for them. We appreciate your help so much.
Nevertheless, after 6 days..we asked for AOR discharge from ward this afternoon, as the SB level was at 13.3 mg/dl now. The Paed grants us the decision providing we continue the home phototherapy and come back to see him on Tuesday. Lega sangat, at last can go home..see the kids again. Seronok sakan Aufa! Mama was so glad too, tak sabar dia nak jaga cucu baru...
So, here we are...doing Mumtaz home phototherapy. For those of you out there whom in case need the service, hop on to http://www.bluelite.com.my/ Overall, the cost for this service is only RM445 for a 3 day package. Our 6 days stay at the hospital was at 6x than the home phototherapy cost. Aside the cost, the most important is..it is more convenient for you and the baby. But, it is only permissible for a SB level below 15. And, it depends on the Paeds you were seeing.
Ya Rabbul Izzah, do free our Mumtaz from Jaundice and may she is in the best of health.Amiin.
