The last two days must be the saddest day if my life.... Wedneday A was fine, eating an playing well then at night she suddenly developed cough she can't sleep at all cos of the cough even tho I gave her cough meds, whole night, we all did not sleep . Morning we bring her to PD who says she is wheezing and gave her nebuliser but did not make her better, at night we had to bring her to emergency room and she was still wheezing badly.
Sigh... as a nurse I know what to expect.. NEEDLES! She was poke once for bloos test which shows she had an infection. Then she need a steroids and antibiotic drip which means putting a IV line in her... she is very chubby so cannot find the vein, had to poke her 3 times still unsuccessful, by then she was hysteria with being sick, new environment and pain. I was crying too cos it really hurts like mad to see my baby in so much discomfort! Especially knowing Arwen's good nature, she must be feeling so bewildered by the pain! In the end, I request for her to be sedated before they try to put another IV line again, this time it worked and they manage to put a ling in. I know they need to do this becos if not the wheezing would not be control.
Poor Arwen.. sometimes this is why I dun want to have children because I feel I just bring them in this world to suffer... I can't protect her from so many things!
Today she is 80% better and we are bringing her home but she needs alot of rest and also the nebuliser for the next 5 days. The doctor said it is cause by virus which she caught in the air, not helping the fact, now season changing and weather turning cold, the virus is circulating even more now. There is nothing much we can do to prevent this from happening as it is a random event.
Haiz... I never slept for 48 hours and alsoo never eat , I wonder how I tahan siah but somehow I pull through, it is impossible to sleep or eat seeing how she is... I pray she would slowly recover her strength and be her normally self again. She is still very smilety and active but I know she must still feel very tired and need time to process the past few days events. What now worries me is that the odd of her occuring another episode of wheezing again is high and I really need to be very vigilant in the next few months when the winter is here!
