My boys are finally safe!
1st Pead : Suggested to do the repeat “traumatic blood test” again on the boys after their fullmoon
2nd Pead: Said that Hyperthyroid among babies are very dangerous and they can have brain damage if not treated properly
3rd Doctor from HUKM semi-private: Asked me if I have brought my sons for chemo!
You would not imagine what I am going through from the traumatic delivery, having to handle a demanding toddler at the same time followed by my failure to breastfeed the boys 100% breastmilk, then my worst fear, the boys’ hyperthyroid problem.
But at least after the confirmation 2 days ago , we am so glad that the boys condition is not as serious as what the rest of normal peads thought.
Result from Day 5 after birth:
Twin 1: Free T4 (21.5) (normal Free T4 : 9~19) with TSH normal
Twin 2: Free T4 (24.6) with TSH normal
Result: The level will go back to normal later (since they have already separated from my trouble body system). Instead the doctor is more worried about the mummy than the babies (let’s not talk about me here).
Instead of waiting for long queue and appointments, we made an appointment this time with Prof. Dr. Wu Loo Ling (Pead Endocrinologist in HUKM Specialist Centre). Given a slot (and greeted by nice nurses and a smiling specialist, we just meet her on the given time without have to wait at all (but have to pay Rm100 each kid instead of Rm5 if we go to semi-private).
Luckily I went to the right person this time. Otherwise just imagine how much my babies got to suffer again, if unneccessary blood test are repeated again by pead/doctors who are not expert in this area.
………*Phiew*………..
Just for info, in HUKM Specialist Centre (03-9170 3700), there are 4 pead specialist:
- Endocrinology (Prof. Dr. Woo Loo Ling and Prof. Madya Dr. Rahmah Rasat),
- Neurology (Prof. Dr. Ong Lai Choo) and
- Cardiology (Prof. Madya Dr. Bilkis Banu Abd. Aziz)

Hi Chinnee - I’m glad you got the confirmation you needed about your boys’ condition.
I agree with the doctor’s concern about yourself. I had hyperthyroidism for more than 5 years and I can tell you that it’s best to nip it in the bud…
I’m not sure if you’re back on the meds already…just check that they are safe for breastfeeding ok?
Take care
Thank goodness they are alright. Now, you got to take care of yourself and get medical help if necessary.
Glad both of them are alright.
Good to hear that!!
phiew! good thing they are okay.. now you have to look after yourself coz you need energy to bf them… do check your level okay.. my friend too had it when her baby was a couple months old and she thought she had to stop bf becoz of the medication… but in the end she continued to bf and also took the medication, I think… Not so sure but if you want me to ask her, email me and I’ll check for you ya.. take care
Great to hear that they are safe.
Good news on the boys, so time to take care of yourself now.
Glad to hear that!
Glad to hear everything is fine. Can imagine what a scare it must have been.
good to know that your twins are fine! take care and rest well…
