Jaundice Check-Up and Heart Scan

Brought Andre for his jaundice check-up at the polyclinic on the 18th May and we were glad tat the level were at 132 which is considered mild and need not do any photo therapy or sun-tanning.

But after being checked by the doc, a murmur in his heart was being discovered. We were advised to go to KKH, Cardiac Centre for follow-up the next day. We were so thankful when the doc at KKH told us that the murmur was nothing serious. Indeed there is a tiny hole in his heart but tat is normal and normally, it will close by itself and even if it doesn't, it won't pose any health problem. We were ask to come back on 25th August for another heart scan to make sure.

The following day on 20th May, we brought Andre to Dr Lillian at Kid's Clinic for follow-up on his jaundice (decided not to go back to polyclinic cos the waiting time was quite long and need to go from one place to another for different check-up). After examining Andre, Dr Lillian concluded that the level is between 130-140 (did not do any blood test on Andre to determine the jaundice level) and asked us to go back on Sat for follow-up. Hope that Andre's jaundice will clear by then.
