Day 2 in hospital
Morning,when Dr Mary checked on you, she told me that you need to go for nebuliser. My whole heart sank. Nebuliser, means you will cry cry cry ...as most children don't like it. But i have to give it to you as this is the only way to reduce your phlegm. Dr Mary did a good job in explaining to me why you have to go for phlegm suction. She uses layman term when explaining to me.
Dr Mary : The lung and phlegn now is like a blocked drain and mosquitoes, and if you don't unblock the drain, it will become mosquitoes breeding place. And the baby will get infection easily.
Me: ok ok
Dr Mary : But i will advise you not to see the whole process, let the nurse handle it
Me: ok ok (by that time, thousands of questions pop up my mind, i feel that tear running in my eyes, luckily didn't drop down)
After Dr Mary left, i quickly sms a colleagues of mine coz she send her daughter for phlegm suction before. She also advised me not to see it.
When you wake up from sleep, Mummy and Ah Ma brought u to the children playing room, and you seems very excited. Daddy even let you sit in the swing while mummy go expressing milk milk for you.
Mummy and daddy went home for shower meanwhile Ah Kong and Ah Ma take care you. Around 3pm Ah Kong called and inform that they will transfer you to semi-private room.
Yes yes, there is 1 nice sleeping bed for daddy in the sem-private room, and daddy get another one from the previos room that you stayed for mummy. So means mummy don't have to sit and sleep! We brought ee poh along to Adventist, daddy and mummy sneak out to Midland for mummy's favourite Taiwan food :d. Hey, no complain ya, you tasted it 2 times when you were in my tummy :)
Every 4 hr, you will be given nebuliser and 2 times phlegm suction. I hold on you while you being given nebuliser. You cried cried and cried. But according to Dr Mary, the more u cry, the better the result as when you cry, u will inhale more of the gas and this will soften your phlegm, make the suction session easier.
The morning session, the phlegm seems to be a lot and thick, the evening session, phlegm moderate and thick...Daddy walked away when you had your second suction. I bet his heart sank hearing your crying huh. You are such an adorable baby, who can stand listening to your crying voice. .....mummy wanted to stay in the room with you, but i afraid i may ended crying louder than you. Dr Mary will stop giving you paracetamol starting midnite and monitor your fever. If fever subside, means you can go home by Sunday. But for the phlegm, will see Sunday morning's result then only can tell whether you need to come back for phlegm suction or not.
You being given nebuliser at 12 midnite and 4am. For Saturday nite, mummy basically exhausted, i didn't wake up when the nurse started to give you nebuliser, i only woke up by the noise middle of the procedure, and as for the 4am session, i woke up when the nurse done with it. Sorry baby, mummy exhausted. As for daddy, he totally has flat battery,busy charging his battery...hahahahaha
That's the end for Day2
