Ya la, gotta do some shopping to release stress. Last week been a terrible week for me, long story, no time to update u all then. My confinement not over yet, will soon be on coming Tuesday. But it's been a long looooonng confinement for me, and i wasn't "confined" at home, because....read on...
My boy was admitted to hospital on last tuesday night and only discharged on last Fri due to fever coz by infection from his umbilical cord. i was there with him at the hospital 24/7. He was so poor thing, went thru so many tests, drew blood and all. Worst thing was, the doc drew some fluid from his spinal cord area, that was the most painful one. Coz doc said bb is less than a month, they cant take any risk, and moreover, i was tested strep B positive during preggy, so they have to be caution. Wa, u can imagine what i went thru. Cried when the doc told me they have to admit my bb, then the very night, they've to run thru a few tests (jaundice, thyroid, liver, etc) and have to draw blood and his spinal cord fluid, etc. They took my bb away for abt an hr and i was there hugging my HB and crying. When they brght bb bk, i cried again coz his left hand was plastered with IV for his dosage of antibiotics. He was given antibiotics every 6 hrly and 8hrly. That very nite when he was admitted (aft all the blood was drawn), he was shivering at the slightest sound made, so i gotta squat by the bed and pat him. Very very poorthing. Many things ran thru my mind while waiting 48hrs for the culture results. I was blaming myself and thot i shld have opted for C section, what if my boy was infected by my strep B, did i eat anything wrong to coz his slight jaundice, did we not clean him well and coz the infection, etc etc...Every day in the hospital was like a nightmare, waiting for the result was worst. Gd thing is that all results came bk ok, doc explained that the tests have to be done coz bb is still very young and we told ourselves that glad things are ok and that bb is only gog thru a thorough body check up. Sigh...due to long hrs sitting, my buttock suffered abrasion and got rashes. Din realise it till i got home on the day my boy was discharged. It's quite bad, my HB saw and cried coz he felt guilty and heartache (was surprised coz it's quite unlike him). Painful to sit down till now though it's much better now.
Anyway, the 4 days 3 nights stay in the hospital made both my HB and i understand our bb even better, from the slightest struggle to his different cries and all, we know what to expect from him next. And the funny was, whenever the nurses carried him, he wil be very scared and wail, but once either my HB and i carry him, he'll simmer down and look into our eyes, as if crying for help. Our heart melt looking at him. Sigh...can only say that we treasure and sayang him even more aft the incident.
Will need to bring my bb bk to hospital for review on Monday afternoon. What time are u meeting? It's very near my place, if possible, i try to see if i can sneak out if my bb is ok with my MIL at home.
