Sean's Bad Day

        It's been a while I didn't write about Sean, he is doing fine now, still hyper as before, nothing much in progress. I've been thinking, where should I start to write. Let's begin with his 2nd Audiology Test which was on 18th September 2012 at General Hospital (GH) Sibu, Sarawak. We went to Bintangor, Sarawak a day earlier, which is on 17th September 2012. The journey from Bintulu to Bintangor was more than 4 hrs driving. At Bintangor, we stayed at my father in law's house which is closer to Sibu (around half an hour or less of driving). We were all tired, and the kids were having slightly flu and cough. I gave them some medicine (flu and cough) once we arrived at my father in law's house. My daughter, Shenna was getting better. But not for Sean. We reached there around 8pm, after gave him medicine, I changed his clothes and he was like usual, still playing around. But he still had running nose which I thought it would be ok after I gave him medicine, but I was wrong...:(...and for the 1st time in my life I was trembling with fear. That night, he was having a hard time to breath, wheezing too. He was crying most of the time, he wanted to sleep but he couldn't because of the hard breathing. I didn't sleep the whole night, too worried to shut my eyes. I was thinking a lot of things, could it be an asthma? (I had an asthma when I was little). Silly me still didn't know what to do. I prayed to God to watch over my son and don't let anything bad happen to him.

          The next morning we brought him to private clinic at Sibu before heading to GH Sibu. The doctor said his lung was infected by bacteria and gave him an injection. After that, we brought him to GH Sibu for his Audiology Test. Of course they couldn't do the test just as I thought, once again the test will be postponed to 12th November 2012. They were concerned about Sean's health, watched his hard breathing led them to send him to emergency. After doing X-ray, the doctor from GH confirmed it was lung infection, and should admitted to the hospital for monitoring. But this was an option, we chose to bring him home because we noticed that every time we brought him to the hospital, he would cry, and this would make his situation getting worse. I was scared the whole day, cried in my heart while watching him, blamed myself for being so careless. But after took some antibiotic given by the doctor, his condition improved and was able to sleep, even though he still had a bit of wheezing.

          That night, after advised by my sister, we decided to bring him for nebulizing at Serikei private clinic. We went there with 2 of my sister in-laws since they knew the doctor well. After nebulization, believe it or not, he was getting better drastically. The next day, his wheezing totally gone. Pity Sean, he must be having a hard time, we met 3 doctors that day, tiring but it's worth it. Thank God for being there for us. Thanks to all my family and friends for being there for me during my hard time.
