Yet Another Stay

On Thursday evening, upon reaching home from school, Hubby and I found Hana lying on the floor in front of the door. We thought she was sleeping there but it turned out to be that she was actually feeling very sick. We found out that she was gasping for air and wheezing rather badly.

Hubby immediately administered the ventolin inhaler on her but throughout the night, there was no improvement. Finally we decided to send her to the hospital's Children's Emergency Department. The oxygen level in her body was below 90! After further administering of the ventolin, her oxygen level only went up to 93...still an unacceptable level for her. Thus, the decision by the senior doctor to admit her into the ward for further observation.
According to the senior doctor, Hana is currently suffering from persistent asthma. Therefore, after being discharged from the hospital, the specialist will arrange for more follow-up sessions at the specialist clinic.

Till then, let's see how long will Hana's stay be this round.


P/s: This is in fact Hana's 3rd hospitalisation stay for the year. Do hope there will be no more stays for her in the future.
