A break from work?

Thank God i have a good helper who really loves Janelle. In order not to scare my helper with the night in hospital, I wanted to sent her home and have me doing the night shift. But she requested to stay in cos she worried of Janelle and she afraid i can't handle. And yes, she stayed in with me...

After monitoring of one night with no fits, but she started to have very bad LS. Since morning after she started to intake milk, she pooed almost every 20min. Nurses, Helper and me changed diaper till we wanted to cry. Doctor concluded that Janelle was having viral inflection, and most likely that the inflection was boiling in her one or two days before which worsen her seizure and causes fever and LS. And he didnt immediately prescript pro-biotic for Janelle as he wanted to flush the viral out from her body. Poor Janelle, by noon time, her butt was as red as monkey's butt and she refused us to touch her butt at all.

Although there was no more fits, but her fever did came back in the middle of night so we are to stay for another day of monitoring but we can transfer to normal ward. Within an hour after she woke up in the morning, she took out the feeding tube herself. And i had lost count of times that we had requested the nurse to re-type Janelle's IV board. |||. We had green light for milk intake, but this time round i learnt my lesson... i breakdown the volumn into small intake with more time. so started with 60ml and every hour or so... By lunch, she was so hungry and keep asking for eat.

IV on her hands, she was so "hungry"that she bite off the tip of the IV tube on her left hand. (the yellow colour thingy)

Doctor gave us green light for solid food intake for dinner after no more episode of vomiting.

Her happy face after dinner

We was discharged on the 3rd day. Although daddy wasnt with us, but we know that he was very nervous and intense. He called every once and then when he can. He wanted to rush back, but i had been giving him the assurers that i can managed and things had went thru well which i kind of regrets it after that. A had once told me strong is ok but don't be fake strong. Else he will take things as granted. Daddy called this a short break for mama from work. Goodness me.

We are very blessed where friends and family who are just a call away and around us when i need them most. Prayers for Janelle from our Extended Families, Sisters and Brother in Christ and friends. And God is good, Prayers answered and Janelle had a speedy recovery and mama had the strength to take this thru even without daddy around. Praise God.
