Off the drip! Yay!
Today docs gave permission to get Mischa off the drip and she could start on normal diet.
Finally I had a chance to bring Mischa for a stroll downstairs and bought some of her favorite food. She chose a toy for Favian as I thought I had kind of neglected him these few days cos I wad with Mischa 24/7 in the hospital.
Mischa got herself some coloring books and we spent some time in the ward doing that. It was a good break for her as well cos the hospital ward routine can get rather overwhelming at times with endless tests, medications and checks.
While on our way back from the foodcourt, we bumped into Elaine ( one of my November mummy thread). It was so sweet of her to come by and even bought a balloon and a waterbottle to cheer Mischa up. It's always nice to receive such thoughtfulness from friends. Thank u Elaine! She love her gifts to bits!
Of course not forgetting Mischa's godma and godpa (my bro) and Amran who came to visit too.

Something worth smiling about
Today Mischa's fever was at a stable range of 36-37dg C
It's a good sigh that she was reacting well to the doses of antibiotics and the docs confirmed that it was a virus infection of sorts and brushed away the possibilities of any blood disorder.. Phew!!! It was a great great relief for me. I guess no one understood my fear at that point.
And over dinner yesterday, I was so touched when Hubby said that when he heard of this leukemia Thingy, his first thought was to give whatever he can to our little girl.. :)
Docs came over this morning and told us that The 2nd set of X-ray showed improvement from the 1st one and everything looks normal... It was another good news to me. But they needed to look into the actual Cause of the virus.
This was how happy Mischa was today..
When Hubby took over this morning, I rushed Hm to take a bath n brought some toiletries as well as shopped for a toy for Mischa hoping to cheer her up.
I got her a Dora laptop she always wanted but I tot I would reserve this special reward when she do something great!
This sweet staff nurse was very nice to Mischa and even played with her in the ward.

My Heart ache for my poor little baby
It was a good 4hrs of queuing before it was finally our turn to see the doc.
The next shock came to me was that the doc suspected something unbelievable.. She was worried that the recurrent fever could be a sign of blood disorder aka leukemia. This scared the shit out of me and I was tearing at that instant!
Next, Doc wasn't pleased that her tummy appeared a little too big for her own good. Frankly , I had never thought that Mischa's tummy was abnormal- I always thought that kids have this cite bulging tum tum becos they drink alot of milk , like men with beer bellies. Oh well!
And so Mischa was made to go through 2 rounds of X-rays( with me wearing a special suit holding her hands up as they scan her.
Blood was taken for a preliminary test for possible sofas of leukemia or other disorders etc.
She was admitted not long and we were asked to wait for the blood test result as well as the X-ray's results.
Upon reaching the ward, Mischa was taken into a room where they administer the plug as Mischa will be on a drip.
Cab u imagine my pain when I was not allowed into the room and hearing my little baby screaming and crying for me. I wished u could take the pain off her at that moment but I felt so useless that I couldn't do anything to help her ease the pain or take over her suffering.
I was too distraught to think of anything. When the nurse opened the door, you wouldn't have imagined how fast I snatched my baby away from her... I cuddled her so tight to comfort her. I even prayed n said to myself that I was willing to give up any years of my life for my children. It's such a torture seeing your child suffer but yet you can't do anything to help them.
Today passed with a heavy heart wondering how the test results will be tomorrow. I wished I could help her more

Started my new year 2011 with a 'blast'!
What a terrible start to my 2011. It was supposed to be a brand new yr with a fresh start for everything. Even before I had time to sit down and pen down my resolutions for the year, I woke up with a shock!
Mischa had been having recurrent fever for days since we came back from our trip.
It was throat infection and flu at first. Then she recovered and went back to school for barely a day and got HFMD.
It was a bad one this round with ulcers all over in her mouth that she lost appetite and lost so much weight.
After 10 days of paracetamol her fever did not subside. Went back to GP (he sucked!) for a review and he merely said the fever is still due to the HFMD.
Then on sat morning, I woke up with Mischa beside me with a temperature of 39.5 dg
I was so worried and quickly asked Hubby to Send her to KKH. I was mentally prepared that she will be admitted and I thought it was the best solution to find out the reason of her fever recurring.
So off to KKH we went. What a way to start My brand new yr!!
