surprise, surprise, surprise...
The day that we have feared for years has finally come. We had to admit theson to the hospital. You know, we actually survived 3years without staying over at the hospital.
Theson still had fever even after 5days with medication and his cough was not improving and he was not eating much.
The doc did a blood test and had to put in an IV line in theson’s left hand. Heart wrenching to see him struggling and screaming in pain. He even said “Papa take out” and it just broke my heart. Sigh…
The doc put him on a course of meds and antibiotics as well. Plus physio to get his phlegm out and a nebulizer session every 3hourly to clear his lungs. All of us did not get much sleep that 1st night at the hospital. And the nurse had to put in a suppository at night as his fever was still high. Pity theson as he’s tired out from crying all the time. He now has a phobia of nurses and hospitals. Hes’ got no problems with oral medication though and by the last day he was holding the nebulizer by himself.
thewife was the most tired of all across the 4days, as theson was stuck to her like glue.
He lost quite a bit weight as he was surviving only on water, milk and whipped potato. he did not want to eat anything else. can see his ribcage now.
food was provided for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner but only breakfast was really edible. the hospital serves only a vegetarian diet and it dont taste that good eventhough its healthy. breakfast is normally finished as i like the oatmeal and hospital-baked bread.
thewife and me survived on Starbucks latte, 7-11 Noodles, coke, snacks, burger from Kfc/mcd, rojak and hawker food. but i actually did not have appetite to eat. made only 1 trip back home to replenish clothes and do laundry.
we had a private room with a tv and it wasnt so bad. thewife slept on the same bed as theson while i had to make do with a fold out chair/bed. very, very, very uncomfortable and cold as hell in that room even with the temp adjusted.
theson had a few visitor and he got a new turtle plush toy, a batman plush toy and some "bubble blowers".
i'm starting to cough and can feel the phlegm, Head feels very heavy.
theson's fever broke on the 2nd or 3rd day at the hospital.
We went in on Friday noon and left on Monday noon. So we spent a total of 4days at the hospital. dont ever want to do that again.
one thing good though was the time spent with thewife and theson.
once we got out of the hospital, we sent theson to the babysitter and we went home to sleep and clean the house.
both of us were very very very tired....
