Evening mommies....reading the last few entries...guess i came in at the wrong timing cos its about baby safety.....hehehe... Been looking after my gal...she's alright now...
Ive told about my baby fall the other day, cos i was so distressed, sad...angry with myself....but time is slowly healing me... But nevertheless, I will never forget the sound when she drop. Even though my flooring is parquet...the sound really is heart stopping....haiz...
Maybe my story will be a hard lesson learnt for myself and something to bear in mind for the rest of the mommies and their los..
I was alone that day and was rushing to get a change of clothes for my gal. Stupidly I thought placing her in the middle of the king sized bed was safe enough as I 'believed' that she can only flip once. I was proven damn wrong. I left, pick out the cloth and just as I close the drawer (all in a span of a minute or less), I heard a loud thud....damn scary thud.. I rushed...didnt see her on the bed, saw her on the floor, in a crawling position.. Picked her up, saw the baluku huge huge already on forehead...then my heart stopped even longer when I saw blood spots on the front of her blouse.. and in her right nosetril. I panicked and tried to soothe her...Mind was blank...called my hubby working all the way in Changi...to rush to KKH cos I decided to bring her there asap. Changed her asap careful not to come in contact wth her nose at all..(scared got fracture etc).. Took a cab...
Reached KKH, I felt lost...cos I nvr been there...gave birth at Thomson mah.. Oh yah..in cab, she was so quiet...and she slept sitting down..which was a first....huddled her and all...almost wanted to cry liow..
Then at KKH finaly located the Children Emergency...everything was fast...thank god.. x-ray also...then doc say as a procedure, must ward her for observation and also her baluku he measured was quite big. He also checked nose but thank goodness he say all bone in tact....not fractured. At every touch by the doctor, my gal cried..my heart break.. When it comes to x-ray..they don allow me in, only my hubby..cos im not strong enough to hold her down for the xray.. The feeling of being asked to stay outside when my baby was screaming her heart out..was indescribable..
Initially didnt want to inform my parents and in laws....u knowlah..scared kena scolded cos my fault mah... then when hear her have to be warded..bopian...inform lor..
In ward, she have to sleep on a cot bed which has very high railing...and all metal summore...The moment my gal lie down, she flipped...head almost hit the metal bars if not for me who had anticipated and blocked her head with my hands...so unsafe...Niwae no medicine...nothing...just observation....Chose B1 ward cos I saw alot of children in B2 having fever and placed with fever patches running around and its open ward..so after thinking long...although more expensive...i choose B1, a four bedder with air con.
The same night her baluku already grew smaller..Emotions had tire me out but cannot sleep peacefully cos every two hours, nurses came and check on her blood pressure and temperature.. damn jialat...Morning came and had major eyebags. After eye, nose and ear doctor came to check, he gave the green light to go home..was so happy... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
