En'en Went For Ultrasound Scan Again : Jul-08

Short recap: Multiple cysts were seen on my yet-born baby's left and right kidneys two weeks before I was due for my C-section. Thoroughly helpless except to chant abundant daimoku for a miracle to happen, we were adamant that our baby must be healthy. Three-day-old En'en was sent for an ultrasound scan shortly after birth to confirm the state of her kidneys. Although her kidney tissues look very normal, we were advised to do a review a year later before discharging the case.

Scans taken before En'en is borned indicating her kidneys may be malfunctiong.





Slightly more than a year now, I brought En'en back to the X-ray department for the review. After an almost two-hour wait and a most difficult and heart-wrenchin session in the ultrasound room where En'en refused to cooperate and struggled and cried non-stop, the result was finally out - En'en's kidney and bladder tissues are perfectly normal!!

En'en the Commando : Jul-08

Someone told me that a baby outgrew her crawling stage very quickly, and I should especially record the commando crawl before it is quickly replaced.. with the hand-knee crawl, and subsequently the walk.

The commando crawl is currently En's quickest mode of movement from one point to another.. Look at her play with er-jie.
