Looking after Idlan at home

Spent the night with Idlan with Anita looking after Irfan in Pantai. It turned out that Tok Abah started having black stools again. He was feeling weak and will need sorting out. Will need to sneak into the ward to organise blood tests for him.

To add to that, my abstract has yet to be completed and I have the Revision Course to sort out the week after. Deadline is looming. No rest for the wicked but at least the tsunami was not heading this way!

The plan today is apart from sorting out Tok Abah, I will need to do some writing. Will also pop by with Idlan at Pantai as he misses his Mum. He was calling for her all night. Luckily he is now back asleep.

Irfan in Hospital

Irfan's fever came back and he has been vomiting recently. I was worried since he only just completed a course of antibiotics. With the persistent cough, pneumonia was a certain concern. Therefeore I took him to see his Paediatrician and as expected, Irfan will need some blood tests, Xray and intravenous antibiotics. The best way is to get him admitted.

I was not really concerned financially as Irfan has insurance. Everything should be covered. He tolerated the Xray, IV lines and blood taking, but the only thing got him screaming was nebulisers. My God, did he scream. I thought I can talk him into having one after a chicken pie and candies. Boy, was I wrong? Luckily he was not wheezy and the nebuliser was to get him to cough out more of the phlegm. Puan Anita was busy getting things organised as she will be staying with Irfan in the hospital. I will be moving back to Taman Setia with Idlan during the hospital stay.

Finally settled and tucked inAnother concern was their Grandfather that was not well since Monday. Things looking rather hectic with Monday being the start of a new month and a new set of Medical Officers in my Unit. I don't think I can afford to be absent Monday as I have plenty of paperwork to do. Hopefully Irfan's and his Grandfather's illness will settle soon.
