Carrot Boy

Couple days back we noticed Adam's palm a bit yellowish..but that's it..nowhere else were yellow..with the help from the parents..Adam was brought to our normal doctor..and he confirmed he's a bit yellowish.. he asked us to bring him to see the paeds for diagnosis..so me and the husband brought Adam to the nearby paeds..

When we met him..he asked what as the problem..when i said that Adam is a bit yellowish..then he checked Adam's eyes..then he asked this question (he chuckled while asking this) "Dia ada banyak makan carrot ka??" then i said..yupp..every other day.. then he said Adam is experiencing overdose of carrots..and the name is Carotenemia.. he said its not dangerous..there's nothing to be worried about..but to rule out any problem, he asked us to do  a blood test.. so we agreed..

At the lab.. Adam was the only baby/ toddler..and i asked the husband to hold Adam while his blood were taken..and i didn't follow them to the procedure room..but i can hear his scream and so do all the people in the lab.. i can see smiling faces and they are looking at me..then my baby came out of the procedure room.. and he rejected his father..insisted on me to hold him.. it took quite some time to calm him down..

 After his blood taking experience

Acting

Then we wait for his blood result.. while waiting we can see Adam has develop quite an antics in acting.. he can be smiling an laughing one minute then the other minute he cried when seeing the area where his blood were taken.. Then the result came out..Alhamdulillah..everything's normal..

So people.. there is such thing as carrot overload..Adam is now under a strict diet without carrot to bring back his normal skin tone.. Then we'll start giving him carrots again..
