So we got to see Dr. Lobo this morning and she wanted to do a urine test on Wednesday. If the result is good, we will do the VCUG (Voiding Cysto-Urethrogram) soon after but the Dr. Sorongon, the surgeon/urologist who circumcised Eman is not very happy about it. He said it’s the test that he really hated to perform. He said some babies would even throw up right there on the x-ray room because of too much crying. Even mothers cry too that is why they strictly order moms not to enter the room while they perform the test. I researched about it several weeks ago and I learned that it is not painful to babies. Since they don’t know what to expect, they do become upset. As much as we don’t want to let Eman undergo this test, we also agree with Dr. Lobo not to take any chances. I read about a couple who elected NOT to do the VCUG for their daughter but later regretted because their daughter had a reflux that could have been detected earlier if they did the test. The reflux caused her to need a kidney transplant yet no kidney could be found. 
Even Dr. Sorongon detest doing the test, he still wrote a letter to Dr. Lobo that he is willing to schedule Eman for VCUG after the urine test comes out okay.
On the other note, Eman has been excessively sweating on his head so when the VCUG comes out okay, we will then be recommended to see an endocrinologist to rule out problems with the thyroid glands. I just hope it is just a side effect of his antibiotic. Also, Eman was weighed and he is 8.9kgs at 5 months and 10 days. Dr. Lobo gave a go signal to start him with solid food once a day since his weight is slowly progressing. It could also help him urinate normally since he needs to drink a LOT when eating. He was also prescribed Ferlin because Dr. Lobo find him pale. I thought he is just getting fairer. 
Oh lalala….seems the end is not yet near. Still a lot of doctor’s visits…..I am just glad we are still able to earn while at home. I still have to find the best HMO that could suit our needs and budget. We better get a health insurance for the whole family. I would also like to do a research about the benefits of paying mortgage life insurance.
