Pb's Hospitalization Episode

Our trip to Bangkok was terminated prematurely by 3 hours when I received a message from Yiyi that Pb had been given a referral letter by the GP in North East Medical Centre to be admitted into KK hospital on the account of suspicion for appendicitis. We were the midst of having our wide spread of buffet breakfast. I immediately told papa that we need to pack our things to go airport to catch the next possible flight home IF there were any   vacancies back.

We reached the airport at about 12 noon BKK time, hoping to catch the 3.30 pm flight, 3 hours ahead of our original flight. We approached the staff for help. Upon heaing our plight and seeing me fighting back my tears, the Thai SQ supervisor revealed that there was only one vacancy at the moment. However he promised to put Ck on the highest priority of the waiting list. God is faithful. We finally got another tix back despite the fact that the plane was was oversold by 6 seats.

When we touched down, we immediately dropped our luggages at home, showered and rushed to the hospital. I was heartached to see Pb on a drip but she was braver than I'd expected. My mom and Dad said that she didn't shed a tear when she has administered a suppository to stop her vomitting and fever nor when she was inserted with a tube on her right hand for her drip. The doctor had withdrawn a tube of her blood and collected her urine sample for diagnosis of appendicitis and possibly urinary tract infection. 

After the laboratory test, once again, God has prevailed His Grace upon our family. Both suspicion were ruled out. And in the meantime, pb's vomiting and fever had subsided. In fact, she was enjoying her stay, fixing her eyes on the TV. I stayed with her over the night. The next day, as she was able to eat and drink, her drip was removed. The doctor concluded her ailment was gastroenteritis, also commonly known as stomach flu. She was all well and was discharged at 5 pm that same day. Praise be to God and all Glory to Him.

With that, pb's episode on her hospitalisation, which she said it was a hotel stay, ended. Phew! :) God is great!!
