I was in hospital...

Saturday, December 15, 2007

.. until at this hour (2 AM Local time) at EsJayEmSi.

It was Najah admitted to ward...

The story was started upon we pick her up from nursery. The babysitter told us that whenever they woke her up when we arrived, she just realised that Najah left eyes was a little bit reddish. Thinking that it was nothing unusual so we bring her to GP clinic near by to get a madicine supply. GP also as usual just subscribe her an eye drop for solutions as everybody thought it most probably a conjunctivitis. We then back to our home sweet home.

Upon arriving home, we immediately tried to gave her a drop of eyedrop as she keeps on rubbing her eye. So we kind of does not want 1 eye going to spread a problem to the other eye. Masuk je ubat tu dalam mata then all the horror story started. She cried and scream out loud like no end. It was last about almost 1 and half hour and we know this time her stomach was bloated and we decide to bring her back to clinic as all method from traditional way to modern opinion (ok hubby surfing a help to let off bloated stomach from internet) to make her kentut or burping to release painful windy but end up with failure. So doctor immediately gave her ubat kot bontot tu. After like 3 minutes she was farting and follows with solid. The horror story does not end immediately. At 2AM she still screaming at to my ear drum but this time we realized she refused to open her eyes eventho we washed her face. At this moment, I know something not right on her.

So we decided to bring her to hospital. She then was diagnosed and the response from the doctor was very very common to us."Its nothing, she had conjunctivitis or maybe some eye infection. You can go home but if you concern you may bring her back tomorrow". I'm like.. hey dude.. I need a solid answer. No maybe and furthermore, am I not concern now rushing to hospital at this wee hours? Do you still need us to comeback just to show that how worried we are now?

We decided to stay. Just to have a peace of mind. "Well its your choice then" sambil memberi remark yang tak best kat muka dia. Cis!! Ada gak manusia yang nak kena lempang neh!! We just ignore his remark & attitude. Proceed to register Najah for ward. While waiting the admin clerk to settle all forms and process, the doctor called us back and HE decided to put her some drip. "This is just to help from from dehydration since she cries a lot" Abeh tadi ko suruh aku balik kau tak pikir ke pasal neh!! Geram aku.. I'm like whatever!!!

So we in the room at 4 AM. Hubby left us. Najah sleep well. Maybe she was too tired. Nurse was giving her paracetamol & ubat for angin. She woke up at 9 in the morning as our fav Dr. Sofiah (paed) came in and checking on her eyes. Najah still not open both of her eyes while Dr. Sofiah tried to play with her. She do clap her hand and giggles but the eyes was closed all the time. Dr. Sofiah immediately told us this is something that she needs to refers to Ophthalmologists. So at 10:30 while Najah keeps on hiding her eyes from lights, she was bring to see ophthalmologist. So infront of doctor, we again have to repeat the whole 1 night story and highlights to her our very first concern - why she refuse to open both her eyes that we missed a lot by this hour.


Non-edited video: Najah could not open her eyes

She immediately says, "Okay, since this happen less than 24 hours, it could not be conjunctivitis". Me impress a lot. Very profesional answer & attitude. Najah again was diagnosed by the doctor and within 15 minutes the doctor figure out that there is some small part at Najah's cornea was scratched. Maybe she accidentaly did it by herself or maybe someone or kids at school poke at her eyes. That was a big reason on why she refuse to open her eyes. The feeling was like pasir masuk mata and for Najah age its very discomfort and painful. That's why she keeps on crying.

So after 3 times on ointment swap and 1 viscous eye-drops we finally can see her eyes again. Hoping that tomorrow Dr. Sofiah will allow us to bring her home. Special thanks to Dr. Sofiah (paed) & Dr. Teoh Su Lin (ophtalmologist) for helping us to solve this 'puzzle'.

Note to medical student: I don't mean to have that bad remarks to that Bad doctor but it was a normal reaction of mother/parents while deal with that situation. We want the best for our kids right??
