Atok's update....
Yesterday tuesday was another long day for me at the hospital....tante and me arrived around 1pm and we went straight to atok's room and they were preparing him for another scope which I wasn't aware of because the last scope he had I was asked to sign the consent form.He was on his 2nd pint of blood transfussion and the scope was arranged as an urgent procedure as his Hb dropped very low.
We both accompanied him to the Endoscopy Centre and waited at the waiting area....the scope will take 2 hours and lucky I brought my book to read.Atok was finally wheeled out after almost 2 hours.After they settled him in his room the doctor and his team came to examine him and I had the opportunity to meet his new chest physician Dr Khoo and from him I learnt that they found fresh bleeding in the stomach which was not reported during the previous scope....hmmm... just wonder how come!!!!
Anyway they managed to clamp the vessels so hopefully no more bleeding and atok haemoglobin reading should come back to normal soon.
Poor atok hasn't had a drop of water since the night before and we told him after the scope he can have something unfortunately because of the new-found finding of the source of bleeding he had to be NIL BY MOUTH again till this morning.He was indeed very thirsty and dry so I wet his lips with ice cubes.He kept saying nothing will go wrong just let him eat and drink and he is even willing to go for another scope if the corrected vessels burst!!!...atok...atok...
Atok is out from isolation and transferred to the open ward and I tell you this is first time I am seeing a respritory ward..where you see patients with lungs problems.....one elderly malay in a corner bed has a mask like those pilot fighters plane....so sad his elderly wife is with him all day.
Almost all the patients here are the elderly ..... take note atok is eagerly waiting for daybreak and hoping that the doctor will give the green light that he can eat today.
My thanks to all who smes me and phone calls from faraway places with words of encouragement ..... my hugs to all of you and a BIG
till my next entry..............
