Surgery

Haven't got the time to share wonderful stories in here. It's because I have been super busy caring for my dear, dear Baby Haney Nadya. On her 17th day into this cruel world, I noticed a lump on her left axillary. To think that in the afternoon of the 25th June, I sent Nadya to the polyclinic for her Jaundice review. When I sent her in the afternoon, I had not noticed the lump yet. It was only in the evening at 5pm, when I was cleaning her up, I saw IT! Got shocked and immediately alerted Hubby. Decided to send her to my family GP, Dr Elly, at Woodlands Mart.

Upon checking on Nadya, Dr Elly told me that there was nothing she could give as Nadya was very small...She dared not administer any antibiotics on Nadya. Hence, she suggested sending Nadya to the hospital for further review. Therefore, on 26th June, at 10am, accompanied by Mum and sister, sent Nadya to KKH.

After the doctor at KKh examined Nadya, he told me that she had to be admitted into the hospital as a procedure had to be performed on her. So....after checking her into the surgical ward, the ward doctor came to examine her. Then she told me that Nadya would be operated on at 4pm , 6 hours after her last feeding and I was ordered not to feed Nadya anything as she had to fast for the surgery as she would be on GA(General Anaesthesia).

Thus, the surgery was carried out on 26th June, at 8.30pm....18 days after Nadya was born...Since then, I have been going to the polyclinic everyday for her dressing as it is an open wound. It is so heart-wrenching to see her suffer during the cleaning up of the wound. I can imagine how it feels like 'cos I went through it 2 years ago. She will be crying out loud, yet there is nothing much I could do to calm her down.

At the moment, I am just hoping that the wound will heal and close up fast. I can't bear to see the agony that Nadya is going through...
