His fever is still burning. -.o" I stayed overnight the 1st day and it was bad. We opted for B1 room, which is a 4 bedded room. We wanted a one-bedded ward but Singaporeans must be uber rich cos all the one-bedded wards are taken up! We are in the waiting list and still are. Staying in a 4-bedded ward is like going for some symphony concert, the kids take turn to cry. Lil Isaac was really cranky and kept crying. He must be really feeling uncomfortable, he cried every few seconds and there was nothing I could do but to try to pacify him whenever he cries and try not to disturb the rest too much. But since it is a kids' ward, the other parents are understanding. I barely had any sleep on the 1st night.
His crying continued the whole day and night and was still crying yday. My mum offered to take over the 2nd night so that I can have some rest. I was grateful for the offer. I came back early this am to take over and heard from my mum that Lil Isaac was still crying non-stop the whole night. She never sleep at all and I pity my neighbors. The maid will be taking night shift tonight before the cycle starts again.
The doctors confirmed that it is not urine infection yday afternoon and had taken him off the corresponding antibiotic. The other 2 results should be out today. If all 3 results turned out negative, then it is a viral fever. But the bad thing is that he is too young for panadol and no medicine will be given for his viral fever. We will just have to wait for the fever to go away on its own and it could take up to 5 days! -.o" Today is day 3. And he can only go home when his fever goes away.
He is feeding better already but still not good enuff. I think he probably lost weight. He measured 3.4kg right before he was admitted. I will latch him on demand and tries to express if my breasts still feel full and he doesn't want to latch. The nurses will give him ebm via bottles if I am not on shift. He is starting to drink more regularly and suckle harder when I latch him, but definitely not as regular and long as before he was sick. I am trying to express when he is not with me but nothing works best like the baby. Coupled with the lack of rest, I am worried about dropping milk supply. Haiz. While in the hospital, I am also drinking less fluids and no chance to take my mummy's yummy soup. Hmmm, we can only hope that Lil Isaac recovers quickly and he and I will have to work doubly hard to build back the milk supply. Moooooo.
Prayers please!
Mummy Lim
