JQ admitted hospital Awal Muharram year 2009 - Part 1

hmm....since last post regarding JQ admitted hospital, then i continued another story about JQ in hospital...

Last year (year 2009), JQ having fever 2 days before awal Muharram. Cannot remember what date d...

When i back from work, i felt that something wrong with JQ, so i asked Kelvin to bring him to clinic, although when we checked temperature, only 37+, just light fever. But i knew JQ going to have high fever soon, coz i can 'read' his sick face...

Before we see doctor, JQ looked very sick but he still very active, and played in the clinic happily. I kept checking temperature with him, as afraid he going to have high fever, as his face really look different from usual. After awhile, he not that active anymore, i thought maybe he too tired after playing or really going to sick again...pity boy...

Then after doctor checked him, doctor said that JQ actually very hot in the body, but we not managed to check his temperature outside! And, must let JQ drank medicine immediately, and continued to give every 4hours. Luckily, we brought him to clinic, else, i don't know what could happened....

At night, JQ really high fever, 39 degree Celcius! Sounds very high? Yes, very high, especially when JQ only 1.5 years old that time. Actually everytime JQ had fever, his temperature will shoot up to 39 Celcius! Really frightening...Previous record was 39.2 degree Celcius! I Know, this is not a good record....

Anyway, the temperature was under control after we put in the fever medicine in his buttock...

The next day, i still went to work. His fever was under control.

At night, as usual, JQ slept about 10m+. About 11pm, we woke him up and let JQ had medicine. That time, his temperature was about 38+. After taking medicine, we found that his temperature did not go down, but kept increasing till 39 Celcius! We quickly used wet towel to mop his body to lower down the temperature. But still the fever very high, in the range of 38.5-39.2 Celcius!

Then at 12am, means Awal Muharram Day, i put in the fever medicine in his buttock (i asked doctor before, he said if fever not going down after the fluid medicine, can put in the medicine in buttock, luckily i asked...), and continue to mop his body. The fever still not going down till another 30minutes, the temperature remained around 38.5 Celcius. We thought that the temperature will go down so, we take a nap around 1am

In the midnight, we kept on woke up to check on JQ. When almost 5am, JQ fever still cannot go down, and back to 39 Celcius...we not dare to give any medicine, as afraid overdose. So, we quickly packed JQ stuff as we decided to bring JQ to Gleneagles...

Inside the car, my tears came out non-stop....so worried! JQ face looked really very very sick....pity boy! When we reached hospital about 6am, luckily no one in the Emergency, so JQ can see doctor immediately....this time, he broke his own record....39.4 degree celcius! Again, not a good record....

Doctor decided to let him admitted hospital, as his fever for too long and cannot go down...

So, the nurse helped JQ to put 'needle' on his left hand, as they need to inject medicine thru his hand. Oh my godness....a small little baby had to suffer this. Of course, JQ cried like mad! I also crying when they put the needle on JQ hands. Sakit hati ler.....I hold JQ, i kept on comfort him, but still he cried loudly...this is for sure, else i lagi worried...

Then, after that, i carried him, tried to calm him down, and told him his hand Oo-Ooo (will post photo next time)....then, he said his hand Oo-Ooo sadly...haha, although he said this is crying tune, but i felt very funny. He really very cute when he said Oo-Ooo...

then, the nurse transferred him to the room. As no more twin and single room, so we stayed Junior suite, which is Rm330/night...luckily insurance covered RM200/night. Wah, so many kids fall sick, till the rooms full...

JQ still fever when doctor came to check him around 11am. His fever kept around 38.5 celcius, till the afternoon about 4pm. Luckily JQ still looked active....i kept on checking temperature on JQ.

ok, worried part was over....next story, i will tell you the funny JQ in hospital....he was a famous boy in hospital.... :) coz u know, JQ is super cute....ok, to be continued...

oh, one more thing before i ended...the nurse almost gave JQ extra medicine! In the second day we stayed in Gleneagle (JQ stayed 3 days. First day is Awal Muharram, a Friday, then discarged on Sunday), about 7pm, i took bath, so Kelvin looked after JQ. Then the nurse came in to let JQ took antibiotics. Then, asked my husband to let JQ had the liquid fever medicine. But Kelvin didn't give, as i told Kelvin before i took bath that the nurse will give the antibiotic about 7pm, and no more others medicine, coz taken around 5pm d.

Luckily i told Kelvin and did remember JQ's medicine taking time....when i came out, Kelvin told me the nurse asked to give the fever medicine, i quickly went out to check with the nurse, and found out that the previous nurse did not record down the medicine after given to JQ, if I did not take note on JQ medicine taking time, JQ will take double medicine...so, to all mothers...becareful even you go to expensive hospital, must record down when your kids taking medicine....don't depends on others....

ok ok, to be continued for the happy time in hospital... :)
