The Hospital Stay

The long weekends, where most people spent it on vacation or family event, we on the other hand, spent it in the hospital. Second time of the year..

Insyirah start demam hari Selasa dan sy ingat cuma demam2 biasa. Sy bg dia paracetamol. But then demam dia on-off. Hari Khamis, sy bawa dia ke klinik panel thinking that she might need antibiotics. Hari tu pulak klinik Dr. Wahidah tu punya la ramai org, kami menunggu dr 9.30am, kul 11am baru dpt jumpa doc. 

Bila doc check dada dia, doc kata nafas bunyi pelik, could be asthma or bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis as I googled means:

Bronchiolitis is a common illness of the respiratory tract caused by an infection that affects the tiny airways, called the bronchioles, that lead to the lungs. As these airways become inflamed, they swell and fill with mucus, making breathing difficult.

So dia kata kena refer to hospital for further check-up. Which I complied and asked to refer to Insyirah's paed, Dr. Lee kat Hospital Pantai.

Sampai kat hospital, terus gi klinik dr.Lee dan mujur Dr. Lee xde patient time tu. Dia terus check Insyirah dan confirm kena masuk wad. Terus naik ke paed ward dan sementara diorg uruskan Insyirah utk amik darah dan pasang drip line, sy turun ke bawah utk uruskan admission. Cik HB kena balik jemput kembar dari sekolah. Then buat x-ray pulak.

Mujur ada katil kosong walaupun 4-bedded room. Last time Insyirah warded, kami menunggu berjam2 nk dpt bilik. 

Ptg tu diorg buat physioteraphy utk buang kahak. First time sy tgk, x sampai tgk Insyirah melalak2. Physio dibuat 2 kali sehari. Neb every 4 hours. Kalau mlm2 tu tgh tido, rasa mcm kejap2 nurse dtg. Dtg amik suhu, kang dtg bg ubat, kang dtg lg buat neb. Tu yg penat dok hospital. Tido terganggu. 

Kena bedung camni, pastu belakang ditepuk2 for quite sometime.

 

Lepas tu sedut kahak dr hidung dan mulut. Mmg meraung mcm nk rak la Insyirah

Kena neb every 4 hours. Hari pertama dan kedua mmg dia melalak2 la time neb tu. 

Hari ke-3 muka dah pasrah dah!

Hari kedua: bosan dok bilik, kita pusing2 wad kanak2. 

Ada playroom tp kena kunci sbb ada kes penyakit berjangkit...huhuhu

Mujur la cafe hospital ada jual mcm2 makanan dan yg penting kopi sedap! 

Jadi ummi retreat kt sini je la bila dah x larat nk lepak kt bilik

Ada masa dia ok je layan conteng buku...hehehe

Hari kedua dapat upgrade ke single room. 

Jadi kakak2 suma 'bercuti' jugak la kat hospital. 

Angkut comforter, bantal segala!

Bila kakak2 ada, ummi n abah ada extra babysitters :)

Last day in the hospital, dah tahap bosan sgt dah, 

kejap2 ajak keluar bilik.

By 5th day, doc ckp kahak dah hampir clear, so boleh discharge. Kata physiotherapist, kes macam ni dah common dah. Waktu Insyirah masuk tu ada 4-5 kes yg sama. Budak umur 2 minggu pon ada kes macam ni.

I asked doc, since dia kata Insyirah ada sedikit lelah, bermakna Insyirah asthmatic ke? Doc kata utk first time ni, dia x consider Insyirah as asthmatic tp kalau kes ni berulang2 lagi, mmg asthmatic la. Hopefully she is not. Kesian kalau dia asthmatic.  

Bila org tanya kenapa Insyirah kejap2 masuk hospital, I don't know what to react. Ikutkan Insyirah was a full-breastfed baby until 1 year old. Only recently I top up with formula sbb production dah menurun. She doesn't go to nursery, she is exclusively cared by the babysitter. Takde budak lain kecuali kadang2 cucu babysitter dtg. But still, kalau nak sakit...apa la yg boleh dikata?

Hangat juga la hati bila kata 'kejap2 masuk hospital'. Sebab bukan la selalu sgt pon. Baru kali kedua dan kali pertama was in February which 3 months ago. Itu pun kes lain.

Tapi takpela, biar la apa org nk kata kan...yg penting kita dah amik langkah2 yg sepatutnya utk kesihatan anak kita.

Moga sihat la Insyirah sentiasa hendaknya...aminnnn.
