An Ordeal

Day 1 (25/10) – I was informed by my sister that Erin was rushed to the emergency room in SJMC as she was already too weak to stand from the fever she's been having. I immediately hauled my ass ASAP to the hospital and was shocked by what I saw. Erin's temperature was @ 41.2 and she's severely dehydrated which had caused her mouth to blister and the skin at her groin to peel. It looked like she's been scalded by boiling water. She couldn’t even open her eyes because she was so weak. MY baby looked pale. The doctor showed me the x-ray and I was told that Erin had contracted pneumonia and a few other viral infections. I was wrecked with sobs when I saw my daugher. 

Khalis was also admitted later in the evening for high fever and got a room right next door. They’re neighbours. Her Papa came back from Miri that same night after hearing the news. He finally arrived at 1.30am and stayed by his daughter's bedside that night.

 How Liza managed to coerce Erin into putting on the nebulizer mask I will never know!!!

Day 3 (27/10) – Temp @ 37 – and soared to 38.8 in the evening. There are now tears in her eyes, and she’s now able to speak…thank God! Still doesn’t want to eat anything though.

Erin in the pink of health...

Day 6 (30/10) – Dr. Ali Minhaj gave her the all clear and she’s being discharged today along with her cousin, Khalis. How I know they’re okay? Both of them wants to have their wantan noodles for dinner tonight!

The head nurse came into the room to hand me the bill. Told my sister that if Shahril's not back to the room after settling the hospital bill, please proceed to the emergency room because there’s a fat chance that your brother in law has passed out!!!!!!

Despite the hefty medical bill,I’m glad they’re okay at last!

I wanna thank my family, Ezane for the lovely gift you bought for your sister, in- laws for dropping by everday to visit her.Bak for taking care of mama at home and for bringing food for Aida & me. I also wanna thank my friends especially Babu and Halim, my cousins for the visits and well wishes...and last but not least, my husband for being such a Super Saint to me and the kids throughout this ordeal. Love you all very, very, much!
