After my last post on the 24th January, Hana was complaining of stomach pain. Yes, she had been having constipation for previous week. The first time I brought her to my family doctor on Sunday, 20th January, he had inserted the Mycolax lubricant into Hana's anus to ease the passing of the motion. Well, she did pass motion about 10 minutes after the insertion but it was a difficult process 'cos the stool was HARD! Then, she passed motion again, on Tuesday, again with a hard stool but according to my mother, who was taking care of her then, she only passed out just a littles bit of stool. I guess it was painful so she refused to push it out. So....she did not pass motion all the way till Friday, 25th January. When that happened, I brought her to MOm's place 'cos MOm was keeping her constipation medication. After giving her the medication, it did not help to ease the passing of the motion. Infact, Hana was complaining of pain every few minutes. On top of that, she was also coughing very badly. Hence, when she complained that she was in pain and when I asked her where the pain was, she merely pointed to the stomach.
Being very worried that she could not pass motion for a few days already, I decided to send Hana to KKH on that day itself, 25th January. Since Hubby was working, I had to send her there alone as Mom had to tend to Adam. Thus, at 3.30pm, off we went to KKH Children's Emergency Department. Upon reaching there, Alhamdulillah, I was glad and thankful to Allah to realise that there was no queue at all at the Triage area. My former neighbour's niece, Ijah, was on duty. The moment she saw me alighting from the taxi, she immediately helped me out with the triage. After explaining to her what the matter was, Ijah carried out a few procedures. Know, what???? I was shocked when she told me that Hana's oxygen level in the lungs and body was very, very low and it was considered an emergency case. She immediately brought the daughter and Mummy to the review room and paged for the doctor to attend to Hana. To my SURPRISE, 5 doctors and 5 nurses attended to one small, 2 and a half year old girl! I was speechless as they had to give her 20 puffs of the ventolin and another kind of puff just to help her breathe. Of course...Hana was crying profusely as such incident had never ever happened to her. I simply allowed the medical team do whatever that had to be done to help Hana.
Then, Hana was sent for an X-ray, before being sent to the observation room. After the X-ray report was out, the doctor-in-charge came to inform me that Hana's lungs were very congested, causing her to be breathless and wheezing. The news came...she had to be admitted for further observation as the oxygen level was still low, standing at 90. So...admission process was done and by 6.30p.m., thank goodness Hubby had arrived, Hana was wheeled into her ward, with the oxygen tube attached to her nose.
Her 3-day stay at the hospital was a memorable one for her as we had taken some shots there. Not only that, I guess it's memorable thanks to the nurses who kept coming in to give her the puff every 1 hour, with the oxygen tube attached to her nose and the heart rate monitor attached to her toe for the entire stay. That meant...Hana was not allowed to leave the bed! Due to super boredom, we had to entertain her by taking photos every now and then.
Once the photos are uploaded into the computer, I will post them in here. Till then, I have to get going now as I have an appointment at TMC for my detailed scan. See you guys soon!
