Hospital stay

I've been in the hospital for the last 2 days. No, I'm fine. I'm there to help accompany my friend Hong Yan. 

For her.... Well, things were up n down for her as she was quite anxious about the tumour n the cold n fever she is experiencing. The neighbour that sleeps beside her in the room have many big groups of people visiting each time (suppose max 2 person per visit, but they have like 6-7 ppl visiting each time. Thus affecting her sleep n mood. Took a while to calm her down. I stayed there from lunch to 8pm yesterday, and also from midday today.

She was pushed into doing the MRI scan shortly after I arrived. Our friend Meredith came to visit during her lunch break, but could not meet her as her MRI scan too over an hour to complete. (Hope nothing to serious)
She condition became worse after MRI scan with nauseous n dizziness. It took a while to settle with some medical help. By then it was almost 3 pm. 
We both had our lunch in her room, and she fell asleep soon after. Phew!

But things did a big turn after that, with the doctor coming in, telling us that the cough sputum collected yesterday contain the infectious virus H1N1. Oh my, can it get any more worse?!
So all hell break loose, as she started crying n screaming or me to get out of the room,for fear of infecting me. We all tried to calm her down but it was difficult. So eventually, I was 'kicked out' of the room. Lol.

So apparently, she had recently went back to china for visit and possibly contracted it there. This flu that she got is going to make the upcoming surgery very complicated because of its infectious nature. And the surgery will have to be postponed infinitely till the flu is fully recovered. Sigh....

Haha, what a change of event from being fearful of the tumour to the now unseen virus. 
But nonetheless, we still thank God for the complete control of the event. For if not of this flu, she will not have headache n other symptoms that will prompt her to go see doctor in the first place. And with that, the tumour is found!

Anyhow, she is in good hands in the hospital. The two friends that have been looking after her will be going to their nearest hospital for check up after work, while Eric and I will go down stairs to the A&E. It's weird. We all felt unwell after hearing about it. Haha. I have some tickle in my throat, while Eric felt headache. 

So please pray for our health for the next few days too. 

Her mum is arriving tomorrow, so I will just need to go airport pick her up n then drop her off to look after her daughter. Good timing indeed. 

Stay healthy everyone!
