The result:
Pus cells : 2 – 3 / hpf
Red Blood cells : 0 – 3 / hpf

His urine has blood and pus cells. Immediately, the doctor told us to confine him in the hospital.  And so, we did. My son was inserted into the right hand with an IV. Then, through the IV, they gave him antibiotics and vitamins. The doctor told me that my son has Phimosis. Phimosis has caused his urinary tract infections. The doctor advised us for a circumcision. I told him he was only 2-years old, perhaps there is another way aside from circumcision.  There is, by giving him antibiotics but UTI will return.

My mumblings:
As a mother’s intuition, I know this will come because I always see him drinking soft drinks and juice in sachets. I wish I can stop it. But, some people he’s around with, sometimes, will give him that drink. Knowing my son, he will not sip it but instead drink it to the last drop. For example: a staff nurse gave him a cup of Coke soft drink, whom he thought will will only take a sip. But, he was surprised when my son, drank it all, breathlessly. I told him, he’s like that whenever we give him a drink (carbonated and juice in sachets). That’s why, we don’t give him an 8oz. But instead,  ¼ from his cup.

 He used to drink a lot of water using his milk bottle. But, we change it in a cup with two handles on both sides. So, he can practice on how to drink like a big man.

What I learned:
I think I cannot prevent some people around him by giving my toddler soft drinks and juices. They meant no harm. Besides, his medical case is different from any toddler. The good side is we found out earlier the cause of the urinary tract infection.

As of now, I am focusing with my son who had a circumcision. He needs me more than anything else. So, I won’t be able to search the internet for WordPress themes and web page title, right away. It’ll take so much time. But, I will write and post about the hardships, mistakes or the reality on being a mother. Also, I will share students given-assignments based on my research from the internet.

Do you have suggestions? Feel free to comment here. Thank you.

I sat cross-legged on the floor writing using a paper and pen while watching my son asleep. I thought I can write a whole post when he’s sleeping but I was wrong. Whenever he wakes up, he cried from the pain. So, I have to stop and lay down again to calm him down.

The computer is around the corner. I am glad I had this little chance to tickle the computer keys. My son is fast asleep amid the noise, the customer creates in the internet shop.

My dearest, please bear with me, my posts are late this time.

Dear Kitty Kathie Kath’s  Summer Giveaway!

The thought for giving up this domain was set aside. I’ll give this a chance for six (6) months, though.  I’ll be crossing my fingers because paying for domain and hosting isn’t easy for me.  I’m not earning a lot. There’s no one to blame except me. It’s difficult to handle two masters at the same time especially if both of us are busy.

From now on, I’ll post different form of topics on this blog such as contests, online earnings, freebies, sales, personal/views and much more.  On the other hand, I am thankful that Earn Online with Mom is  PR zero not an N/A through checker. So, i’ll be working more on Alexa to lower it’s rank.

So be it! See ya round!

Surprised! My husband drop a small box beside my monitor. It’s a sample gift pack from Gerber Philippines! Wow! They’re fast!

I found it on the right column of my Facebook – the advertisement side. Of course, I click it, like their fan page and play the application of Gerber’s Farm.

The sample pack contains 2 jars, namely: (1) Gerber First Foods Banana and (2) Gerber First Foods Broccoli.

I did not open the gift pack. I gave it to the hospital’s cashier who received it (first) from the delivery man before it was given to me. She wants to have it for her baby girl! When I gave it to her, she was uber happy and all smiles.

Here are some friendly reminders from Gerber:

1. You must be a parent of at least a six month old child.
2. You must be a resident of GMA or CALABURI areas.  It’ll be easier for them to deliver it.
3. An eligible address. One sample gift pack for one household.

If you want to join:

1. Like Gerber Philippines Fanpage in Facebook.
2. Go to Gerber’s Farm application and fill-up the important details.
3. After submitting, experience the interactive tour on Gerber’s Farm.

That’s it!

Last year, we went through a lot of hurdles. My son almost always have a sickness that we rushed him to the hospital.  He got fever, dengue, viral infections and others.  Honestly, I log online for only a few minutes but my mind wasn’t here.  So, I have to log off and stay with my son, instead.

On the other hand, I become pregnant without knowing it, again.  I thought we are going to have a second child. But, sad to say, it was taken away from me. When I had my ultrasound result,  the little child in my womb has no heart beat.  My ob-gyne tried to saved the child by giving me a tab that will let my little one on hold. I guess, my unborn child wasn’t for me.  Inside a comfort room, she slide down when I am about to pee.

It was a sad year! I feel like giving up everything I had here online. Yes, I reached that point but I can not stay away from it.  Perhaps, I can live without a cellphone but the internet? I can’t because we lived here.
