Hi folks!
Second night spent at hospital with ZS. Seeing him bring traumatized by the needle poking and 4hrly nebuliser+medicine as well as temperature taking is so agonizing.
He would now cry the moment he saw the nurse entering his room or when he felt the thermometer being placed at his armpit and would cry the entire ordeal-temperature+BP-taking, medicine time, antibiotic syringes,nebulizer and yesterday started physiotherapy.
For a young baby like him is truly a traumatizing experience. I hope he would get over with it and grow stronger from it too. So do I who very much at the verge of exhaustion, depression and uncertainty.
As the hospital doesn't have single bed room at the point we were admitted, we were sharing room with another Frozen-inspired 2+year toddler who would either scream her lung out singing her favorite "Let it go...let it go..." or would scream, cry and throw her temper when the staff is trying to clean her or feed her medication...the whole episode lasted quite awhile. So did ZS, the only difference is she could speak and "scold,retaliate or curse" and even kick very well but ZS would only scream, cry and kick his leg away with me not knowing what to do or what he wants....
It's the saddest thing for a mommy when your sweetheart is crying madly and you do not know what he wants or what you could do to calm him down...or even no matter what you tried to do is futile..thw crying episodes continues...
It doesn't help that you are managing on your own as your hubby is away at work and also taking care of the older children at home...
The simple task of taking meals, going toilet or even changing diapers became a challenge...if your baby becomes clingy...
At 3am I just finished bringing ZS
"touring" the ward and hospital as he refused to stay in the single ward room we've just granted around 11pm,...
Now finally he's tired of touring and crying and zz-Ing.
When he's at his better mood he started his mischievous self pressing nurse help button, walking around and amusing himself...i misses this part of him would just treasure this as much before the next medicine time when his mood would switch 365 degree..
Thankful though there're nurses to help and doctor to monitor him at ward. It's still much better than being awoken late at night wondering if we should rush him to emergency room where most likely no Pediatrician will be on duty during the wee hours.
So am staying grateful for everything that happens...and hopeful that things will only gets better after this!
Thanks Kak Nura and Sherry...for your wishes and message....knowing I am not alone feels comforting!
Cheers!
