Post Disaster Day 1

The disaster day episode on Sat have yet finished. On and off, Kaelyn kept having some fever on an average degree of 37.5. Today is the 9th day and it went up to 38.5 deg. We decided to bring her to KKH!

There isn't any crowd when we reach KKH at 9.30 am. In less than 20 mins, we've completed all the initial checks, registration and consulted the doctor. Doctor asked the nurse to take Kaelyn's blood through her little finger and x-rayed her chest. The only last thing is to collect her urine using the urine bag that was taped on her. Mummy thought we are really lucky to be able to do so many checks within such a short time! Hahaha...read on to see if such luck really follow us..

To collect her urine, we have to wait for her to pee. Doctor say we can have a nice breakfast first while waiting. By 10.30 am we were already in the food court for breakfast. Daddy bought Kaelyn her favourite bread. While feeding her bread, we try to make her to drink more water. She has drank like probably 4 oz of water. Check, check, check... no urine!

Kaelyn fell asleep in the stroller. 3 good hours have passed and she finally woke up for her milk. Check, check, check... still no urine! 外公 came all the way to KKH to check on us by then. Knowing that Kaelyn's water intake is usually low, Mummy bought a can of chrysanthemum tea for her, hoping that she'll drink more and pee... faster... Daddy is complaining that the chrysanthemum tea is toooo sweet! Mummy is just too tired to answer him even though he has repeated the same statement for a few times. Besides making her drink more water, what is the next better alternative? I guess is waiting... but we have already waited for 4-5 hours already for 那泡尿!! Urgh....

After drinking some chrysanthemum tea, she finally pee... wah, the feeling is like striking 4D... hahaha... quickly, we hurried to the nurse. Guess what! The nurse have changed shift already!! Another nurse came to remove the urine bag for the test. Within 10 mins, Doctor called us to explain that Kaelyn's urine is ok. Her chest have some infection and her blood test supported the findings. We were given medicine and left KKH only at around 4.30 pm! Carpark charges was $12. That bag of urine easily cost $10!! Kekeke...
