Zayden @ TMC 170210-190210
First post after CNY...guess you are expecting some goody pictures from me but nah...I was busy for the past 2 days cos my young boy was warded to TMC for fever, diarrhoea and vomiting. That left both hubby & myself sleepless night as we attended to him. Zayden was feeling unwell on the 2nd day of CNY. He started having fever in the afternoon and by night time, he was complaining about having tummy ache. We drove him to TMC 24 hours clinic and the doctor prescribed some medication to ease him. Throughout the night, he did not sleep well as the pain comes & go, followed by diarrhoea. We decided to head back to the clinic again, this time, took back more medication. The medication did not work well and he started to vomit this time round. We waited till morning to see how was he feeling but he seems to be whining more. Then again, we decided to go back to the doctor again. This time, the doctor suggested that he should stay in since we have been going back to the clinic 3 times. Hubby was reluctant so we signed off a document to leave "at our own risk". Things did not get better for him, the cramp was attacking on & off that he started to cry... I felt so helpless that I could only watch & not able to help him in any way. Finally, at 11 plus, hubby decided to bring him to Dr. Ang but her clinic was flooded with patients! In the end, we went back down to the clinic to request for admission. (This is a faster way since we already have the record there) Dr. Ang came later in the ward to examine and in no time, Zayden was put on drip. His stomach was too upset to take in any food or drink, putting on the drip was the only way to let his stomach REST. By night time, the pain was gone and he could intake a little bread and Milo. The next day, his drip was remove and we fed him some porridge to "Test the Market", his stomach was recovering and Dr. Ang finally said, "Discharge today!"
