Everything seems ok until in the afternoon you started to make noise, and the only way to make you quiet is to bring you out. So daddy and mummy brought you to Tesco and we managed to keep you quiet for a while before you started to make noise. Your body a bit warm and daddy decided to let you take paracetamol. We didn’t have our dinner at Ah Kong’s house, instead, we went back and let you sleep as you didn’t take your afternoon nap. You slept for a while and keep waking up and crying. Around 8:30pm, you wake up again and cry badly. This time, your body very hot, and without any doubt, daddy quickly decided to send you to Adventist Emergency Room. The traffic was very bad as the Thaipusam celebration is not yet over.
When the nurse in ER took your temperature, gosh, it was 39.3 degree. Mummy quickly ask for suppository, however, the nurse in ER said they can’t do anything before the doctor check on you. Mummy very unhappy with their slow response and actually grumble at the nurse. At the same time, I get scolded by daddy for grumbling at the nurse. Well well, in such a critical situation, why can’t the nurse just pick up the phone and ask for medical officer’s advice. Luckily mummy has Dr Tan’s cell phone, quickly I called Dr Tan and informing him we are in ER. At the same time, mummy requested the nurse to call Dr Tan to get instruction over the phone. Dr Tan asked them to give superiority immediately while waiting for him to come. You still very cranky and keep making noise.
Mummy doesn’t consider it as crying as there is no tear coming out from your eyes. Later, mummy managed to keep you occupy with the empty water container in the ER room.
About 20 mins, Dr Tan arrived and when he checked on you, he found that ear infection fully recover and he wonder why you still not feeling well. In fact, Dr Tan did check with mummy your condition on Tuesday night, and both of us were happy as your fever totally subsided. And who knows, it comes back on Wednesday. Dr Tan then suspect could be the throat which give you problem. DUH!!! Yes, he is right, you are having throat infection, tonsillitis!!! So what is next???! Dr Tan advice to get you admitted as throat infection a bit handy to tackle. Normal oral antibiotic take longer time to effect, you need to get the antibiotic through injection. And we found another problem, which is, your hand a bit puffy and hard to find vein, so he need to put needle into your hand and wrap it up so that they wont need to find vein when they need to inject the antibiotic for you. At the same time, he needs to get some blood to perform blood test.
Baby,
You know what, the blood collecting session is the most torturing for us. You were crying so badly and mummy stand there, don’t know what to do. Seeing you cry in pain, mummy really heart broken. I can fell that tears rolling in my eyes and I keep telling myself I cannot cry, I must be tough so that I can support you. You hold to my hand real hard and in the middle of collecting blood, you call “Ma Ma” in pain. Gosh, at that moment, mummy nearly collapse, really heart broken and want to take you away from Dr Tan.
We need to wrap both of your hand as we afraid you may pull the bandage that being used to wrap the needle. You were a bit unhappy at first as you can’t move your fingers freely. But very fast, you get used to it. Thank God!
After that, we went to do the admission and then we being brought to the ward. Pediatric ward was full so we need to stay in the surgical ward which is just opposite the Ped ward. For the whole night, you keep waking up and cry. Maybe you don’t get use to sleep in new place and at the same time you worry daddy and mummy may leave you alone in the hospital. You being given paracetamol every 4 hrs to control the fever. Mummy sit on the chair beside you bed so that whenever you wake up, I will be able to see you and talk you to calm you down. It’s really a torturing day for all of us.
