Angel's kiss and stork bite

Kalau hangpa semua perasan, dekat dahi and kelopak mata Hessa ada macam birthmark. Dekat belakang tengkuk dia pon ada tanda merah macam birthmark jugak. Waktu first check up dengan Dr Vernon (pediatrician Hessa) dulu aku+wife pon tanya laa dekat Dr Vernon nak confirmkan pasal tanda merah macam birthmark nie.


Dr Vernon cakap no need to risau. Dia kata baby nih actually bukan datang from perut mommy dia..tapi time nak lahir tue, magical stork (bangau) yang bawak dengan gigit dekat belakang kepala/tengkuk dia and lepaskan bila bersalin tuh.

Time baby keluaq from perut mommy dia, ada angel kiss dekat dahi and mata dia.Muah muah muahhh. Sebab tue ada tanda merah tue. Tapi bila makin besaq and dia dah makin naughty, tanda merah nie akan berkurang and hilang pasal angel tue dah lari. Tapi Dr Vernon cakap yang dekat belakang kepala/tengkuk tue takkan hilang. Pasal stork tue gigit kuat. Hehehe.

Aku ngan wife aku gelak jea laa dengaq explanation Dr Vernon pasal aku rasa pediatrician mmg patut pon kena ada good sense of humor sebab tanak bagi budak-budak takut. So sebab tue explanation dia ada kelakar-kelakar skit. And actually Dr Vernon nie mmg kelakar and sempoi gila. Pernah satu pagi (awal pagi) waktu wife aku dekat hospital lagi and Hessa still dekat high density unit (HDU), Dr Vernon and assistant dia masuk dalam bilik nak update progress Hessa. Aku mamai-mamai lagi time tue. Dia pon explain laa pasal Hessa. Tgh dia dok explain tuh, dia bole amik penutup tray makanan wife aku and letak atas kepala dia and pastu dia cuba balancekan macam dalam sarkis. Aku time tue dah laa blur+mamai. Pelik aku tgk perangai dia. Hahaha

Ok back to pasal Hessa's birthmark yang Dr vernon cakap angel kiss and stork bite tuh. Tanda merah dekat dahi Hessa nie kalau si baby manja nie mengamuk, marah, emosi, pee pee, poop poop, cuaca panas sgt ka etc; tanda tue akan makin nampak. Kaler dia jadi macam merah pekat skit. Tapi kalau biasa-biasa tak laa ketara sgt.


Hari tue Mommy Hessa tgh borak-borak ngan Auntie Ning (Mama Ning) and Mama Ning sebutlaa anak kawan die ada something called 'port wine stain' which is birthmark kat muka, so Mommy Hessa pon google pasal birthmark nie. Rupanya apa yang Dr Vernon cakap tue mmg ada dalam medical term. Aku ingat dia reka sendiri jea cerita tue. Hehehe. Dalam medical, "salmon patch" or "angel kiss" nie refer untuk yang dekat dahi+mata and "stork bite" untuk yang dekat tengkuk/belakang kepala. The medical term for a stork bite/salmon patch is nevus simplex. Details pasal benda nie bole baca dekat sini.

"Salmon patch is the name given to a very common group of birthmarks seen in babies. The birthmarks are caused by expansions (dilations) in tiny blood vessels called capillaries. When a salmon patch occurs on the face, it is often called an angel kiss, and when it occurs on the back of the neck, it is known as a stork bite. These types of birthmarks are very common, and at least 7 in 10 infants will be born with one or more salmon patches. Angel kisses tend to fade by age 1–2 (although some parents report that, for years, when their child cries, the angel kiss temporarily darkens and becomes apparent again), and stork bites tend to not go away at all but are usually covered by the hair on the back of the head."

Tapi ada lagi satu simptom yang lebih kurang sama tapi lagi teruk called "port-wine stain." Yang port-wine stain nie takkan hilang and kalau worst case ada side effect dia macam-macam. Details pasal port-wine stain nie bole baca dekat sini.


Hopefully yang dekat Hessa just angel kiss and nanti akan hilang bila dia dah makin besaq. InsyaAllah. Kalau tak hilang pon takpa. Tue rezeki Allah bagi. Maybe ada hikmah dia. Hessa lahir sihat cukup sifat semua pon Daddy dah syukur Alhamdulillah.

P/s: Boipren Hessa nanti kalau tetiba dekat dahi Hessa merah tue kena jaga-jaga laaa..mesti Hessa emo or moody..hehehe
