Month: August 2013

2013-08-05到2013-08-09这个星期我每天上午都会到公司上几个小时的班，已经有5个月没上班了，很多东西还需要熟悉一下。从8月12日到8月23日需要全职两个星期，因为同事休假了。

这段时间以来奶量下降了很多，可能是喝水比较少，晚上休息不是很好。80%的时候糖宝都是喝的奶粉。上班一忙活起来都忘记了家里还有一个宝宝，坐在地铁上把宝宝的照片翻看了一遍又一遍，希望尽快回到家见到宝宝，多亏爸妈的帮忙，要不然还真是不知道怎么办。

Today is the 6th day that Olivia has been eating anti-biotic and I took her to vårdcentralen to do the follow up check. I must say that Olivia is so well behaved and cooperative when we fed her with the medicine even though she hates it! She began to shake her head when she saw the medicine but she still took all of them without crying.

We also noticed she does not scratch and pull the ears as often as before, which is a good sign.

1. The appointment is half past 3, and we of course arrived on time. And the doctor of course is late. I went in front and knocked on his door at 3:45pm. He opened the door, felt disturbed and asked me “are you the last patient today?” I said “we had an appointment at half past 3.”

2. We have to wait a bit more even though there is no patient in his room.

After we enter, he said “She is so cute, I almost want to eat her”. He tried to be friend with Olivia, talked to her and touch her hands and face, but it did not work out. Olivia started to cry even before he started with any inspection on the ear. He should know that he can not give so much attention to a 4 month old baby…

3. after the inspection, the doctor said the ear channels are not as swollen as before, so everything should be fine. Based on previous experience, I asked him if he is really sure. Then he said he needs to see the ear drum in order to be sure. I said “OK, do that”. Then he said he needs to have a slimmer device than the current one in order to do a good inspection. (He has some kind of medical device, looks like a needle, has light on the front) So he left his room to look for the slimmer kind, which is used for children.

After 5 mins he came back, empty handed, told me he can not find it.

Why can not he prepare this in advance?

4. I asked the doctor that I want to see an ear specialist to make sure everything is fine, and there is absolutely no problem with her hearing. Then he said he can do the job, but since he does not have the device and there is too much dirt in the ears, so he needs to give ear drip to dissolve the dirt. He told me the name of the medicine.

During this time, he has to answer his mobile phone two times, talking about where to eat pizza tonight.

5. I asked him if that is ok for a 4 month old. He is not sure!!!! So he called someone and then told me it is OK.

6. I went to Apotek and checked with the staff there. I was told usually Revaxor is not used for babies. Plus on the manuscript, it says if it is used for children, it should be used by doctor or nurse….And the staff in Apotek did remember me from last time and I also told them what happened this time, they just said they also feel this doctor is very wired.

I wonder why the tax money should be paid to this kind of doctor? He treats life as a joke!

This is the first time that I take Olivia to take the public transportation. I am a bit nervous, worried that she will cry on the bus. She is really calm and play with Dingding all the time, sometimes she looks straight up, she probably noticed the roof looks different from home. I would have picked her up from the baby stroller if the bus driver is not crazy.

By the way, we took bus 509 from Solna centrum and went to City Gross, it took 20 mins by bus. It is a bit raining outside.

This is how it happened and how things work in Sweden

1. when Olivia was born, we were told by barnmorska, who is specialized in baby shower,that water is not dangerous for baby’s ears since they were soaked in mother’s stomach all the time before they were born.

2. before checking out form the hospital, I confirmed with another barnmorska that it is totally fine if water goes inside the ears during shower. No special care is needed.

3. after 2 weeks shower, I noticed Olivia began to scratch her ears a lot, especially the right ear. I checked behind the ear and found the skin was broken. I brought up this with barnmorska, almost everytime when we met. One time, our barnmorska even called for a senior barnmorska to check it out. I was told to just make sure the skin behind the ear is dry then everything is fine.

4. we cut away some hair around the ear area in order to dry the skin easily. After 3 more weeks, the skin healed. But the scratching didnt stop.

5. I brought up this again with barnmorska yesterday because I suspected something was wrong inside the ear or somewhere else on the body is painful for her.Barnmorska said it should not be earache and that can just be a habit, if she eats and sleeps normal, i dont need to worry.

I asked more times and was told to contact the doctor if I want to be sure.

6. We went to Solna Vårdcentralen today and doctor checked her ears. Both ears are infected and both ear channels are swollen!!!!

The doctor said we can not let water go inside the ears when we show her, and water is the cause of the inflammation!!!

7. I bought medicine from Apotek, prescribed by the doctor. One hour later, I got a phone call from the doctor the medicine he prescribed is wrong, because he didnt realize how young Olivia is. Is it? I have to tell Olviia’s personal number to the reception before we saw the doctor. Didn’t the doctor check?

8. so I went back to Apotek and tried to buy the new medicine prescribed by the doctor, but I was told, there is no prescription in the system for Olivia.

9. I go back to vårdcentralen, want to talk to the doctor. Reception said he was busy. I asked what he was busy for? The answer is he is busy for lunch. Ok….I wait. Later reception girl asked me if this is about the baby. Then I am allowed to see the doctor right away.

10. I went inside his room, saw papers from Seat24 and Hotels.com lying everywhere on the desk. Aha,he is busy for his trip…

but I was told: the fire alarm went on, so all the electronic system was shut down and all the staff was outside, that is the reason why the prescription does not exist.

11. he said he did send the prescription electronically. And I told him it does not exist. He was helpful enough to write it on the computer and printed it out for me. Now everything should be fixed, according to him.

12. so now it is the third time that I am in Apotek today. After queuing for 20 mins, I was told the file number on the prescription is wrong….so I can not get the medicine.

13. Another 10 mins passed, the girl in Apotek can not reach the doctor so she did some research on internet, and now she find the correct number herself.

14. From 9:30 am to 2:00pm, finally I got the medicine, which Olivia is really not happy with. She made face when we feed her and vomit out majority.
