Meet the doctor

We brought Rara home on 26 October. In the evening we took her to the doctor to examine her condition, and to have her medical record. She was such a good girl. Did not cry or complain when the doctor examined her.

From the physical examination, she is in a very good condition. The doctor suggested to perform a USG examination on her brain to check whether there are problems.

Again, the USG shows no problem or any defects. But there is a 'normal variant' on her brain. Something about the gap between her left and right brain that is smaller than the average. The doctor explained us with some foreign language, which I did not understand. So I just asked her, "Is there any potential problem?" She replied, "No. It's just a 'normal variant,' just like some people were born with smaller eyes or asymmetric nosebone.." OK then...

(In fact, I was born with asymmetric nosebone, so I cannot breathe freely from my left nosethrill.)

After that, Rara had to have her blood taken. The nurse had difficulties finding her vein in either arms. So, her blood should be taken from her feet - drip by drip. It took a while before we got a sufficient volume. Of course she was crying. That was the first time we heard her crying for more than five seconds.

Thankfully, again, her blood exam did not show any problem. Surprisingly, she has the same blood type with me: B+.
