Hospitalized

Mom has been having constant diarrhoea on daily basis from morning till 1pm. When she mentioned it to the Drs during her usual check up at the PC, HKL, they said it is normal.

Last Tuesday, mom wasn't feeling well.. The diarrhoea went on till night. In fact till the next morning. She was flat on her back and could hardly move. Dinner had to be served on bed.

DAY 01

Wednesday morning, she was still lying flat that we had to urge her for a clinic visit. She was at first insisted for me to just call Dr and get her medication. After we insist, she drank a cup of plain milo and off we went to family clinic.

Dr jab her to stop all the diarrhoea and checked her bp. It was 78/50++, d*mn low! He adviced us to bring her to HKL for a drip. Drop by to fetch Abg Din as he works in A&E and he'll help us to speed the process.

After a thorough quick scan at the A&E, they realized that mom's sugar level was only 1.3. It was a panicked situation as they raced to feed her glucose and still with her low bp, they admitted her. We were trying to get her into 1st class but failed due to her unstable condition. She was still weak but concious.

At the ward, after a few check ups, she still felt dizzy and toilet visits are all by the help of wheelchair. During one of the check up by the HO, she vomitted. That was then, they decided to shift her to acute section, right in front of the counter where they're able to close monitor her.

Bp and sugar level was surely closed monitor with every 15 minutes frequency. Still until 4.30am, her bp could only go high till 90 with bp went up and down. They went panic twice as the sugar level was below 3. Dr-on-call tried to wire in for a dialysis as her toxic level in blood was high but failed. Due to lack of experience must I say. Huh!

DAY 02

They'd injected her periodically with fluid to increase her bp level. 5.0ml. Alhamdulillah... It managed to come up to 110 after a few hours. Noon, Dr from Nefro came to prepare her for a dialysis. They were pretty cautious as she didn't urinate well. Habis muka and badan dia jadi kembang and bloated. According to the Dr, there's even fluid in her lung. Anaesthetist came and straight in my face she told me "Buah pinggang mak awak sudah teruk" as through the blood test they've found out mom's toxic level in blood was d*mn high. She even mentioned that mom might go unconcious should the toxic level go intolerable. I was shocked as mom had never been diagnosed with any kidney problem. She put her on Bipap, inserted fluid (to increase her bp) through the neck. Her bp was then depended on 2 meds.

At 2.30pm, they pushed her to CCU for dialysis. Then had to be delayed due to broken machine. Bley? B*ngong kan? At 7pm, dad updated me saying that mom will be transferred to ICU. Upset, mad or pissed off, I rushed to get explanation but they can't furnish me anything as they only receive order from specialist in ICU.

At 7.30pm, she was pushed into ICU but I didn't get to see any Dr until 9.00pm. He explained that the transfers are something not to be worried about (yeah, right!). They will only closely monitor her as well as pushed for dialysis on the same day. Decided to let Hafiz stay for the night.

Mom before been pushed to CCU.

DAY 03

Dialysis was done at 3am. Surprisingly, she urinates well. That proves that her kidney do functioning but still they need to find out why such hiccup happened. Basically today, they're in the midst of close monitoring her breathing. She's not allowed to lie straight tapi the position certainly melenguhkan dia. They'd tried to remove the bipap but she was breathless and so they had to put it back on. They will run a test (Allah knows how), to see the oxygen level in her heart.
