Mum Going Home

Both My Mum and brother-in-law was doing much better. My Mum was being discharged today, while my brother would be staying for another evening. Their fever had settled and their platelet counts were heading north. Anita spent last evening cleaning her Mum's room with the maids. She also went out shopping buying groceries and containers for the room. I couldn't tell at what time she went to bed last night.

As for me, I went to bed early with the boys since I would be on call today. Anita was on the way over with the drivers to pick her Mum home and sorting out the discharges. I was waiting for some blood results in clinic. The clinic appeared full. It was Saturday after all.

One Long Day

It was one of those days today. A lot of things going on, and it wasn't over yet. I have yet to get my evening rounds sorted out - would be heading back to the hospital after Maghrib.

I started the day early. For the ward rounds out of the ways before 9 am. I then waited for Anita to arrived. We then had breakfast together - roti canai at a nearby Mamak shop which she said was quite good. That took us close to 10, when I left Anita to start my clinic. After clinic was done, I put the finishing touches for the lecture I delivered after lunch.

Lunch was actually rather good. A buffet at One World Hotel at One Utama. First time I was there actually. Then it was time for my lecture. I had to leave early since I had some stuff to sort out.

I then returned to Gombak and took Anita and Irfan out for an early dinner while waiting for fogging to be organised at the Gombak house. We went to a nearby and had some sushi.

Now, it was time to return to Subang for the evening rounds, and to see what my Mum-in-law and brother was up to. Hopefully Anita would be following along ....

Now It Was His Turn

I have been waiting for the last hour or so for my brother-in-law to come over to the hospital. He was also hit with dengue and would need fluids and admission. As for my Mum-in-law, she seemed to be improving although she was still not out of the woods yet. And Anita was really worried. It was very likely that she would be staying over with her Mum tonight, and I had to take some time preparing for slides tonight. I have a lecture to deliver on Thursday afternoon.

Luckily, the clinic had been light this morning and I was expecting any complicated discharges today. A couple of my patients would still need sorting out though. Hopefully, once things settle down, everything would be back to normal. I would be on call this Saturday though …..

Time to Go Home

Puan Anita ha a comfortable night last night, when her friends came to visit and kept her company until almost midnight. A good night sleep after that and she only needed to go to the toilet again the next morning. Not much tummy ache anymore, and much less dizziness or headache.

She still hated her medicine, but her appetite was back. The Doctor allowed her home this morning and by the time I finished my clinic, she was all packed-up. The boys - Irfan especially - had been calling her all morning. Idlan was at school, and when I left him at the school entrance this morning , he made me promise that his Mum would be back later that day.

We reached home by the time Idlan arrived from school, and the boys spent the next hour all over their Mum. Anita still had to take her medications for the next few days, but I was sure she would be fine by the weekend. She had a trip to the spa all planned out for Saturday .....

A Bit Better

Anita was feeling a bit better especially after the visit from the two boys. I also brought Idlan to see a Paediatrician as he was having diarrhea for the last few days, ever since e vomited. The Paediatrician thought that he had a mild AGE, and started him on some probiotics.

Irfan was crying when it was time to go. They were asking if Anita would be coming back tonight. It seemed that I had to do the explaining to them later on when I arrive home alone ......
