Qi Was Sick.

If you have realized, Papa and Mimi have not updated my blog for more than a week. The norm is usually a weekly update. This is because Qi was sick, really sick for almost 10 days. :(

I had a high fever on a Sunday night and “inflamed” gums about 2 weeks ago. Papa and Mimi brought me to see the doctor at the “A&E” department at KK Women and Child Hospital. Doctor diagnosed that it was a viral infection. However, the fever “fluctuated” and refused to subside. I lose my appetite and started to refuse to eat and drink (probably because of the ulcers and the “inflamed” gums).

I was back for the second time in the same clinic on a Friday. I waited for about 5 hours for the results of my blood and urine tests. Fortunately, everything was “okie”. However, I was back in the clinic again on the same Friday evening because I simply refused to drink or eat. Papa and Mimi were worried that I might get dehydrated. I had to be admitted to hospital for observation of fever and diet intake. For the next three days, Papa, Mimi and Ah Ma were “mentally distressed” as they tried to coax me to drink and eat to avoid putting me “on drip”(which they cannot bear to see me in pain). My response was encouraging until a nurse jeopardized their efforts.

Papa and Mimi “camped” at the hospital bed “24/7” with me. During the wee hours of the a Saturday night, one of the nurses tried to feed me with medication without waking Papa and Mimi. Papa and Mimi had always “been woken up” and feed me with medication. While the nurse feed me, I put up a struggle and was traumatized. I puked and simply puked any medication whenever I am given subsequently(even from Papa and Mimi).

Papa was so affected that he gave a strong feedback (or rather complaint) to the doctors and the sister of the ward. Papa and Mimi decided to bring me home to recuperate on the advice of the doctor (because my fever has subsided and water intake has increased).

Sigh.. I had about 10 episodes of diarhoea on the Sunday afternoon after I reached home. It was made worse that I refused to take food or drink. The last straw came when I puked all the food that I took for the day at 10 p.m. on the same day. Papa and Mimi sent me back again. Ah Gong, Ah Ma and Shushu who were at my home to take care of me, all agreed.

This time, it seems like a "drip" is inevitable. I was admitted again. Papa had to help to “restrain” me in the treatment room while the senior doctor tried to “drip me”. It was really “heart pain” for Papa and also for Mimi, Ah Ma, Ah Gong, Shushu who were outside the treatment room. I was shouting; “Qiqi don’t want! Help me! Help me”. :(

Fortunately, I managed to conquer the diarhoea bug and my gums got better (I had antibiotic cream applied on my gums instead). I am a strong girl. I was discharged on last Tuesday afternoon.

It was a “nightmare” for all of us in the family especially Papa, Mimi, Ah Gong and Ah Ma! Thanks to my shushu who was my "chauffeur", rushing "to and from" the hospital. Mimi put it as undesirable “5 days 4 night” holiday camp at KK Hospital”! Don’t worry, I am fine now! Mimi said that she will “feed me a lot” to gain the “kg” that I lost!

I am still as cheerful! A nurse had to "tie" up my right hand too to avoid me "pulling" the drip off.

Sob Sob.. It was painful!

I am versatile. I could use my feet to "hold" the PSP.
