Day 4 - ICU

I had to remove mom's Bipap while wiping her face and lips. Alhamulillah.. She was able to breath properly. But still the nurse said it musn't be too long. Though she had started to drink water, there are still certain limit of liquid allowed. She also can talk well and had started maing jokes dah pown~

In the afternoon, they had to do 2nd dialysis as her toxic level in blood went up high again. This time around it was for 4 hours instead of 2 hours the first time. And the best part was, instead of bipap, she had changed to use ventimask. It shows that her breathing is improving.

But during the afternoon visiting hours, ramai laks her friends yg visit her and since she talked a lot, she was breathless and so they've changed back to Bipap. Rupa²nya, the changes in the breathing equipment was just a start to prepare her to breath without assistant. They were thinking to only put her in ventimask for 2 hours and should things went well, they'll add another hour. And yes she did well all the 3 hours (actually almost 4 hours).

I've managed to talk to her doctor-on-call and according to her, since she's very much improving, they're going to use ventimask for every 4 hours for 4 hours long each session. Isn't it great? But still, to be back to normal, she might need 2 to 3 more days in ICU. On top of that, they might even try to feed her porridge tomorrow and see how things go...

As for the dialysis, the Dr also highly convinced that her kidney might just has acute kidney problem instead of total failure as they've suspected before. Which is good because that means the dialysis won't be in for permanent session.

They're planning for an echo session next week to see oxygen level in her heart and according to the Dr, it is a normal practise.

Well, I must say that she's been doing well so far and I'm seeing everything positively now.
