Zhafran was vomitting few days before we took him to Pantai Hospital. Started on Sunday and we brought him over to An-Nur for consultation and received medicine to cure the illness but on Wednesday, he's gone from bad to worst. At the time he lost a total of 900gm of his weight and Dr Azam immediately suggested Zhafran to be admitted on the same day. That was the best decision that I've made. He wasn't eating and slept all the time. If he does awake, he just laying onto his belly and look at me. No movement at all. Even when he sleeps, he wanted to sleep with me and not in his bed. I was so tired as I didn't sleep for 3 days because he even vomits when he sleeps and was so terrified of the idea of his choking his own vomit. It was very hard for me care for him - to see him that way.
Dr Azam took Zhafran's urine, stool and blood sample and there wasn't any trace of anbormailties. Since he weight keeps on declining plus he's not eating well, doctor suggested to give him intravenous drip. The sight of seeing him crying his lungs out just hurts us so bad. The doctor struggle to find a vein as for baby it's not easy to find it. Doctor tried on his hand but no avail finally he 'caught' one on the feet which I think it's great because it's away from his visual. I'm afraid that he might "play" with it if inserted on his hand.
The intravenous drip works wonders. He's energetic in the next morning and start taking his milk normally. We were ready to get out of the hospital but the doctor was very busy that day so we went back later the evening. :)
Now, after few days, he is healthy and has been eating ever since. He eats a lot and gained back the lost grams in no time. He's playful and happier now. :D
Thanks to Dr Azam for the good consultation and being able to tackle the situation very well. :)
