Today we went to meet the docs for the one week, post discharge, checkups of the mom and the kid.
That’s the one who gave both of them an APGAR score of nine on ten respectively when they were born…. she’s always amused by the fact that we drive down 20km from home to meet her for anything that needs attention with the kids…. well she’s very good and she practically delivered the kids with the gynac so who else could be better?…. This pic was when we went to visit her for the first check up since Ira came home after the delivery….. very impressed with the progress so far, next we meet middle of May when Ira is a month old.
….and ofcourse the illustrious and much loved Dr. Anita Soni
…more friendly than any doctor you’ve ever met specially wonderful given her scary busy schedules…. though she did scare us by suggesting that “a third child is even less stressful than the second one”!!!! nooooooo…… noooooo….. no! Oh and she’s reversing the ageing process with all that weight loss compared to 4 years back… inspired.
Interesting incident at the hospital; we had checked out on the 20th after the delivery and post natal patch up. Once home we had realised that a usb drive containing some of Rias’ favourite cartoons was missing. I remembered having plugged it into the back of the TV at the hospital room we were in. So a week later when we went for the check ups with the gynac and padiatrician I went up to the 11th floor with the kids while mamma waited outside the docs room. The nurses remembered team Ria and Ira and everyone latched on. I explained the reason I was back and they very helpfully took me to the room (another patient was checked in). I tiptoed in careful not to wake up the old lady and her attendant, located the drive exactly where I had left it connected to the TV, disconnected it and came back. That was a good experience considering I had already placed an order for another 8GB pen drive to put her cartoons on :D… guess this is why one chooses to drive down 20km to that hospital even though there are a few decent hospitals in Navi Mumbai as well…. it’s the overall experience.
