A mother greatest fear
No, she wasn't jailed but....My precious was hospitalised since Sunday. Talking about it makes my blood boils. Nevertheless, i still have to tell my story.On Wednesday, hubby and me brought Elisya to Dr. Balqis cos Elisya has slight cough and fever, just 37.2deg. Back at home, we just gave her the instructed dosage, mind u I took an urgent child care leave (Boss definitely not happy!). The next day, her fever went up to 38deg and her cough gets pretty bad. She starts to breathe heavily. I was so worried that I can't concentrate on my work. On Friday, my mom called me and wants me to go home, it was 3pm. She's the kind of mother who would rather us work than stay at home, so I think this is really urgent. It was stupis but before I can tell my colleage, my eyes go all watery.. I rushed home and brought Elisya to KK together with Hubby. Before that we took her temperature and it was 39.5deg.
Over in KK, the nurse too Elisya temperature and freaking scary, its already 40.5deg. So, we are rushed to the emergency ward. The nurse strip her naked and sponge her (she was crying hysterically by then). Took her blood test and x-ray. The doctor told us that the results show that she has no infection and to bring her home and continue sponging and taking the medicine. I told her that i was informed if a baby fever gone up till 39deg, its considered bad, cos the baby can get a fit. She said wait till it reached 41deg. Damn it, its just 0.5deg away. Furious as we are, we were glad Elisya didn't contracted any serious disease.
On Sunday, I started to worry too cos she refused to eat and drink. She looked so weak. Even when Adik dangdut infront of her, she has no response. No longer the boisterous monster I know. I was shattered inside. I decided to get a second opinion. So, we brought her to East Shore. As her fever was still high and its almost 5 days, the doctor wanted to admit her. I said, please do that cos I can’t stand seeing her sick. At this moment, money is not everything. I only have my one and only precious..
We took some pictures during her stay in the hospital. Will post it once we it downloaded. She was warded till Thursday.. She lost 1.8kg and so slim now. But she’s fine now. So, whenever, she gets very very naughty, I will just smile cos I would rather she is active and running around screaming than be weak and irresponsive. East Shore has the best service. I think I’ll go for East Shore for my second baby. ;-)
After what had happened, my priorities change. I am looking at getting a good insurance coverage for Elisya and start planning for her future.
I would like to declare that I so so in love with her since the day I held her in my arms. Can’t wait for her 1st birthday..
As promised, these are pictures taken during Elisya vacation to East Shore. Haha...
Nak go home eh??
Ibu, Elisya nak go home...please...
Before the gas mask and the suction. They need to suck out her mucus every 6 hours. So sedih seh..
The Gas Chamber.. I mean Gas Mask. For the first 2 days she cried when we put the gas mask on her (blame it on the boy next door who was crying hysterically..) but she get used to it after a while.. (My face macam tak tentu arah seh..)
Yay!! Check-out time..
Nurse Malangi taking off her drip. Funny cos she kept trying to eat the thing.
That's all folks. (Elisya is well and getting into her monster-inc identity)
