22 Mar 10

God is merciful and forgiving.

It was a very wrong start to the day. I was stuck with the irritating omeprazole again and I pushed till the stopper spolit.  Still the medicine didn't go in. As I was doing it, I kindda grumbled to God "Why do I have to go through this?", "Why are you not helping me?".

Things start to go wrong after that... Not only did I fail to get med in, the decompressor got stuck. While washing it, the tip of the brush got stuck at the tip of the decompressor.  Time was already running out. So only 1/2 amount got in. Milk was fed already and when I opened the button, milk came gushing out. I panicked.

Praised God! He helped me out! When I called for a cab, there was 1 immediately. (Last mon, we called for 45min and couldn't get any).  When we reached KKH children surgery centre, the unhelpful staff nurse was not there. Instead, a very nice sister helped me.  Managed to see the surgeon earlier. She said that the button is ok and explained to me how safe the button is by drawing a diagram.

Charlene was crying throughout the whole visit. The moment the dressing was done, she stopped crying almost instantly; that amuses the surgeon. The surgeon also suggested a change in medication to replace the irritating omeprazole to a liquid med. The issue is that this new medication is not as effective as omeprazole.

Praise God! On the day when I think everything will go wrong, He makes it right. Charlene also gained weight. She now weighs 4.775, and increase of 300g in 11 days. Slow but steady.
