Mamma Yaya!

Tulah..orang tua2 kata jangan excited sangat... tengah pokai tapi sanggup nak spend RM 300 tengok Mamma Mia konon...

My family bids farewell to 2008 with a heavy heart.. Sarah a.k.a Yaya, our little baby girl was down with a high fever on the 29th of December...(note: a day before Mamma Mia) We thought it was just viral fever... gave her medications.. even brought her out for makan on the 1st day she fell sick...

This was Sarah's first time on a baby chair...we were laughing because she was dozing off.. time ni ingat dia letih biasa aje..

But on the way back home I could feel that she was burning hot so we decided to go to a private hospital near our place.. Dr.African American (yes, he's not even Malaysian) told us that her temperature then was about 39 and so kena immediately check darah.. it was really scary the way the MO tried to get the blood sample from little Sarah.. she was super terrified and I was super horrified! Dr.African American said that from the blood test Sarah was confirmed to have dengue as her platlet count had dropped to 120 so she has to be hospitalized...

We brought Sarah to another private hospital so that she could be under the watch of her usual paeditrician... again little Sarah had to go through another blood test just a couple of hours after she had the first one... so you can just imagine how agonising it was for a little baby.
Little Sarah after the 2nd blood test and after they have put her on drip.

Yaya was warded and put on drip.. I spent the night with her but both of us of course could not sleep much.. Yaya was coughing and vomitting..but I was relieved when the nurse told me that Yaya was only down with viral fever as her platlet count was 160 and she tested -ve for dengue.. however, the dr on call that night said that she had a bad case of athma and has to be on nebulizer + undergo physio-therapy..

Did'nt bring toys for Yaya so these became her toys instead..

Yaya was crying and screaming throughout physio.. seriously I did'nt know when they say physio it means medically bashing my daughter and poking a tube through her throat.. Yaya now has developed a phobia for nurses and drs..

The next day, Yaya's paeditrician visited her and was not so agreeable on the treatments that were given to Yaya... so he asked to stop the physio treatment and some medications..as Yaya's fever was subsiding dr gave us some hope that she could be discharged that day butjust to be sure another blood test had to be done.. nasib baik this time when they took her blood she was sleeping... when the blood test came back, tengok2 Sarah memang confirm dengue pulak as her platlet count was dropping..

On the day that she was confirmed to have dengue she konged out for about 12 hours.. I managed to catch up on my reading and movies..

Thank God she was progressing well.. and after a couple of blood tests and another night in the hospital her platlet count was up again.. She was discharged today(new year)..at least we welcome the new year with a good news.. hopefully she will be better soon..

Happy New Year everybody!
