Pada suatu petang aku terima sms dari cikgu nursery Danish, Kak Ida "Danish demam, asyik sebut ayah dan ibu dari tadi. Dia x nak makan, asyik baring je”. Terus aku call. Dia cakap badan Danish panas dan dia asyik tido dari pagi. Aku call Hani tapi tak berangkat. Maybe dia tengah ngajar kot. So, aku bergegas menuju ke college Honey utk amik dia. Sampai2 kat nursery, sian aku tengok Danish. Nampak dia memang cam layu semacam je. One thing we notice was that his nodes at the side of his neck were swelling together with a fever. Sebabkan tu Danish macam takut nak toleh kepala kiri kanan sebab saket. Fearing that it was mumps, mlm tu aku & Honey terus bawak Danish ke klinik and after examination, doctor suggest kitorg refer kat Hospital Selayang.
Malam tu ayah, mak, Kamal, Anjah & Hanum datang. Tengok keadaan Danish tak menunjukkan perubahan aku terus tekad bawak dia ke Hospital Serdang utk further inspection. Sampai sana, the doctor did a blood test and nearly and hour later the result showed that there has been some infection. They suggested that we come in the next day to refer an ENT specialist to confirm the diagnosis. They next day Danish was warded. Eventually it was not mumps but a lymph node infection where the nodes got enlarged and swelled due to the infection. And the fact that he has eczema worsen the condition.
Doctor had to give him metronol antibiotic hoping that the enlarged and swelling nodes would reduce. Otherwise they had to proceed with CT Scan and if the case is really bad they had to preppare him for operation. Dripping the antibiotic through his left hand, 3 times a day, alhamdulillah after 24 hours the enlarged nodes started to show signs of reducing. Sminggu danish warded, sminggu tu jugak aku & Honey tido kat hospital. Ibu dia punye air mata takyah cakap la, cam sungai! It was a tough week for me and Honey. Honey started to reconsider whether being a working mum is the right decission for our family after all. Going through such a depressing and heart pounding week at the hospital, watching our boy in pain, it was just not worth it for anything to come in between Danish's health and well being even it is for extra income. I think that is something that me and Honey would have to really sit down and decide for the best interest of our family.
Alhamdulillah, sminggu dok dalam hospital Danish dah kembali sembuh. Sekarang pon Danish dah ceria macam dulu. Cuma ada sesekali kena pi appointment dekat ENT specialist and paediatric untuk follow-up pasal case dia. Doa aku, Danish sembuh sepenuhnya. Amin!
