A Hospital Stay !

 

As I was saying, "More time to share my life stories?"

I was so wrong!

Few days ago my eldest son, Isaac had high fever and diarrhea. 
His fever went as high as 40 degrees. We went to his pediatric in Bukit Mertajam as usual and doctor suspected rotavirus. We went home and his fever was still high and he kept having stomach cramps and diarrhea for almost 6 times!

So we decided to send him to hospital, Sunway Medical Centre, the newly opened hospital in Seberang Jaya. We usually go to Gleneagles Hospital, but it was so far, an hour drive to the island.

No time to waste, I packed my stuff and we brought Isaac to the emergency ward.
Admitted to the children's ward at 11 pm.

Honestly, we felt much better with the drip and supervisions from the hospital. Even with the food prepared has made us more relaxed. There was no time for me to cook meals for Isaac as I was busy attending to him, wiping him to cool his fever down and giving him medicines.

Thankfully my mom helped me with the cooking and taking care of my youngest son, Samuel.

On the second day, Isaac's fever subsided. Isaac was still having lots of stomach cramps and diarrhea for 4 times in the morning. After taking the SmectaGo and wind medicines, his diarrhea stopped and i felt so relieved. We both prayed so hard that morning. It was freaking me out.

Thank God so much that Isaac has finally managed to calm down and we soon started to enjoy the movies in the hospital TV. Even the food was to our content.

Night sleep was comfortable too. The nurses outside were very noisy and Isaac told me that they laughed like 'witches'. Haha. This has at least made our stay not so quiet and sorrowful environment, especially at night time.

Needless to say, I have been staying in hospital every year accompanying both my kids for the past years. I thought this year since it was coming to an end (November), that I will get to skip this year without a hospital stay.

Nope! 

When will this curse be lifted or spell be broken ?
