haikal was in the hospital Raja P Zainab 2 during that period.
haikal was initially brought to the casualty after having profuse diarrhoea, vomiting and increasing letahrgic for 3 days. he was clingy, cranky and crybaby on the day he was admitted, refused to crawl, poor oral intake especially after losing so much fluid from diarrhoea and vomiting. we afraid that he might be lethargic secondary to dehydration, and the only aim we went there just to get iv drip for him as we knew we couldnt get one without admission.
anyhow, so haikal was admitted on 1st july.little did we know that he has to stay in the hospital for almost a week!we assumed that his diarrhoea will resolved after a day or two, and his dehydration resolved with iv hydration. but, things were not as planned. the diarrhoea persisted for a week, with vomiting resolved a day before we discharged AOR. pity haikal, he was really weak as a result of the endless BO and vomiting.
the doctors and nurses diagnosed him as Acute Gastroenteritis AGE with mild dehydration. but since the diarrhoea gone on for longer than it should, they suspected URTI or UTI. The MO also suspected lactose intolerance as a result from AGE, hence the reason we changed the milk to Mamex gold-soymilk free from lactose.
haikal had several jabs for branula during his stay.two unsuccessful attempt in A&E followed with a successful one done by Dr fadhilah. second branula attempted by dr Amilia was successful after the first one had to be removed after the fluid leaked out from the 1st branula. however, during our last 2 days stay in the hospital, haikal had spiking temperature, hence the reason they had to take blood again from him. Dr Amilia attempted again for 3 times, but failed. he definitely has a chubby hand, hence difficult to find veins at all.
after 4 days stay in hospital, we decided to discharged AOR since haikal is no longer on drips. sadly, they havent had the result of the investigation on hand, so, hubby went on checking by himself the stool and urine FEME and C+S.he got the result. he told me that Haikal's urine has cultured E.Coli in it and sensitived to certain bacteria. we informed the oncall Paeds Mo, and decided to go ahead with AOR discharge since no active management we received from them.
they counselled us to stay until the next day,but consensus has been made between us to discharge haikal that night. so, we went home that night with few bottles of antibiotics and syr paracetamol.
amazingly, today, haikal is doing great at home. he's back to his normal self.very active,BO less, eat a lot, and laughed a lot. i'm really happy for the change. i guess it's familiar surroundings that helped speed up his recovery. we have i/52 TCA in the hospital for US KUB for Haikal. hopefully, no damage were done on his kidneys. I promised myself to keep giving his antibiotics on time. he needs this however hard he tried to refuse it. this is for ur good sake haikal. ibu dont want u to suffer later on. ibu wants u to be healthy always. =)
