Conditional Learning - Liewlian is learning how to suck from a bottle... He was supposed to learn while in mommy durian's tummy...
That device on the nose is a breathing apparatus supplying oxygen to help Liewlian breathe better.
Premature babies like Liewlian tend to get apnea attacks - forgetting how to breathe.
Thus must monitor closely and make sure he remembers to breathe...
Liewlian gets better and better as each day goes by.
His breathing improve by leaps and bounds and soon there is no need to use the breathing apparatus anymore.
The tube in his mouth is a feeding tube.
Liewlian has got another minor problem - hernia.
There is a hole near the stomach i think that cause leakages. It needs a day operation to solve the problem but at that point of time, operation is not considered as Liewlian's breathing is rather unstable.
Thus he cannot over strain and had to reduce the amount of feeding intake - feed lesser but at increased intervals.
Liewlian had a new look! A red headband!
The breathing apparatus is back on - cos he suffer from another apnea attack :(
Its quite frightening actually...
Doc thinks Liewlian is better and off goes the breathing device again.
And another new headband for Liewlian...
Till the next post then...
