coxsakie virus!

yep, ini adalah virus kaki tangan dan mulut. virus ini menyerang kanak2 dan bayi. virus ini tidak mbawa maut tapi kanak2 yang terkena virus ni mmg suffer sbb tak boleh makan minum, dan badan rasa tak selesa asyik demam on off sahaja. and this is about Aqilah's story..infected by coxsakie :(

that friday (6 april 2012) i got text messages from baby sitter to inform that my daughter got fever. when i return call then she mentioned that she already give medicine and my daughter getting better. so I’m not really worry. We go back as usual and bring her home at 6.45pm. When i reach home aqilah looks sleepy.. oh i thought because of the medicine so i bring her to the room and let her sleep.

9pm - she still not awake then when i check her fever, it getting worst. ouch, we need to bring her to clinic. so we decided to go to Sri Gombak to see a Doctor. and Doctor said it is high fever.. more than 39 Celsius! Doctor decided to give medicine from her punggung and he was so confident that tomorrow my daughter will be okay.

6am - we are not have a enough sleep because my daughter cannot sleep at all. She crying without reason... maybe because 'tak sedap badan' that’s way she cries right? luckily we have thermometer at home, so me and husband check her fever.. Ya Allah! 39.5 celcius! mmg panas! we both don’t know what to do and decided to go to Attaf clinic, it is specialist clinic at TTDI recommended by baby sitter. unfortunately the clinic not operated that day! then we call baby sitter to get some advice. she advised to keep calm(that very important) and give aqilah medicine from Sri Gombak clinic and pantau her fever. so we stayed at home the whole day and keep checking her fever. it was turn up and down. so pity her...at the end of the day, her fever still 38 celcius, only decrease 1 celcius :( we praise tomorrow will much better.. Lastly mommy, daddy and daughter fall asleep. We are tired.. aqilah more tired i think :(

8 april 2012 (sunday)

3am - I’m awake with aqilah's crying. When i check her head, ya Allah.. her fever more worst! i wake up my husband and ask to go to hospital selayang on that time..

4am - arrived at hospital selayang and after registered one of nurse roughly check on aqilah's condition. then she take aqilah medicine (i bring the medicine from clinic for hospital reference) and gave 6ml! Previously doctor from clinic only advice to give 2ml only. Then that nurse asks us to wait our turn to meet a real doctor.

4.30am - aqilah head become warm and she looks more stable. we meet a doctor and doctor only mentioned she got fever and ulser. after got the medicine we back home and aqilah continue sleeping.

10am - feed aqilah with her favorite porridge but she refuse. she not able to eat or drink! so sad when i can hear her stomach singing.. she was really hungry but can’t eat :( my husband curious with Hospital selayang, if she got mouth ulser, then where is the medicine? they only gave fever medicine, antibiotic and salt for energy. ya.. that make sense also. so we decided to go to her usual clinic - klinik kanak2 tan at rawang.

11.30am - we meet with doctor and we are very shock on what doctor said- she got coxsakie! is that danger? my husband ask. no it is not, but she quite suffer because cannot eat and drink. and doctor continue- give her medicine and she need to be quarantine at least 10 days. cannot mingle with other kids and avoid crowded place. Ya Allah... kuatkan hati ini... we are stuck. this time doctor gave ubat mulut (tuk kebaskan mulut supaya boleh makan), fever (not normal 1, yang ubat fever titik), antibody, 2 more ubat  which i forgot now..dush! i'm getting older. pelupa!

12.45pm - on the way back home we discuss who gonna take a long leave to take care of our daughter. Both of us cuti pon sikit... takkan nak amek cuti 1 week :S

my husband call father in laws at penang to ask some advice. and abah without no compromise want to come to our house to taking care of my daughter.. ya Allah..terharu nya.. really kesian with abah but he really want to help us. then because we know that kg selamat (my husband home town) is not really selamat with robber, it is better to send aqilah at my husband home town.. saya akur, tuk kesihatan aqilah.

6pm- call my ayah ummi at sabah to inform about aqilah.. and ask to praise for us for our journey balik kampung tonight. ayah and ummi was very afraid with aqilah condition, but afraid menyusahkan abah n mama also. but this is the only way.. and alhamdullilah abah n mama want to lend some effor to taking care my daugther. i done sms to my boss and colleague about my emergency leave on Monday and Tuesday.

10pm - we start the journey to penang. aqilah sleep at back sit with me. the medicine quite strong, it makes aqilah sleep all the way back to hometown.

9 april 2012 (Monday)

4am - safely arrived at kg selamat.. ahamdullilah. i feed her with bottle of milk..even though it's hurt but she feed little. she then continue sleep at grandpa’s home.

11 april 2012 (Wednesday)

we back to KL leave aqilah there. of course i'm really sad...but this is the best for her.. the day i leave her she can start eat and drink, and no more fever.. alhamdullilah.

10 days make us really sad. Without her no more laugh... ya, we still laugh... but it more merrier with aqilah;') and alhamdullilah 10 days there build her antibody back, she can eat, drink as usual.

21 april 2012 (friday)

3am - we safely arrived back home town and meet aqilah after 10 days! phew... really miss her!!! and she also seems missed us!hehehe... thank you ya Allah.. atas kurnian kesejahteraan ke atas kami..

it makes us husband and wife more matured with all these dugaan..and hope we can be more strong after this hubby;) but 1 important lesson.. not just trust to 1 doctor... seek others advice if you curious.. sbb naluri ibu bapa kuat thadap anak nya... wallahualam.
