My monday
We bought Umar to the hospital this morning. Well this wasn't truly what happened.
I was in total denial that my son would need further medical attention. I brought him to the GP twice and the paediatrician once. Didn't go well.
I should learn to listen to my gut feeling. I dropped him off at my sister's home and went to work. Upon reaching the office my officemate said i'm crazy and i should go back and bring him to the hospital. I called my sister, she said he didnt' really look too good.
What the hell was I thinking?!!
My husband suppose to have his exam, cancelled it and he's gonna take them tomorrow (what a blessing!).
YOu know taxi drivers here have a knack for sleeping while driving. They should be in the Guiness Book of records for having the ability to sleep and drive. I was not in the mood to be nice. The driver at first wanted to go thru street of factories to get to KK!!! what was he thinking!! I said no I asked where he wanna go. He just kept quiet. guess he dont know his way around. My husband said go by PIE. Alrite. He got his navigation right for now.
Then almost halfway he was sleepy and driving... he obviuosly lost his balance of the steering wheel many times. I swear I saw those slittly eyes almost close. So I told him off. He said no it was the sun in his eye. The SUN my foot!
Oh yeah before that he was driving waaaaaaaaaayyy below the speed limit on the expressway. Tell me which idiot passed this guy his driving test. I told him "Uncle speed up!" Then his meter went at 80kmph, Finally he met the legal speed limit!
KK was a breeze. However in the x-ray room, my husband went in with Umar. Umar vomited all over on himself and me hubbie. I went inside clean Umar up. Good thing i had extra clothes. Well we had to throw the new set i just bought him last week. However hubbie had to smell funky for the next hour or so. urgh! yuck! Amazing.. what a father. He could bear the smell of his son's puke all over him. He said it was good he vomited. Get them phlegm out.
Finally diagnosis - bronchitis. Promethazine. I gotta check that out. Cos i remember telling the GP that the stuff should be prescribed. He said no.
If Umar doesn't get well in 3 weeks, we have an appointment.
Lessons learned
1. good thing to bring clothes to emergency.
2. fathers can really tolerate pukey stuff .. a testament of love.
3. always go emergency room with someone level headed. I cant really remember which one of the medicine not to take. I know Salbutomol not to be taken. Can't remember whether ventolin keep or throw. I keep cos i fuzzily recalled the doc said ventolin to help the lungs.
I'm tired.
