My lil B had fever for two days, and on the third, it went up to 40 degrees. Went back to our GP, was asked to admit him immediately. 3 nights at Tropicana Medical Centre, 3 packs IV fluid, suspected of throat infection and RM2000. Unbearable, heartbroken, sleepless nights. It wasn't my boy who was fussy, it's the 5-other children in the same ward.
Back home, recuperated for a day or so, he started vomiting and having diarhhea. To add to the total misery, I had eye infection myself. Forced MC by the doc, or my colleagues and boss will get it too! On this fateful Friday 4 Nov, I allowed hubs to drive this short-distant 5-mins drive to Tropicana Medical Centre.
Along the Persiaran Mahagoni, came this crazy car, which raced from the opposite road and just turned to his right. Hubs had to avoid it, and our car lost control and bang to one lamp-post. I was sitting behind, holding a vomit bag in case lil B vomits, saw myself nearing the lamp-post. My heart sank. My brain blank. BANG! Lil B screamed and cried aloud.
The reckless driver did stop for a while, and the raced off. Heartless idoit..heartless bastard.
I came down from the car, saw some cuts on hubs face. I almost cried.
A nice couple drove me and lil B to Tropicana Medical Centre, while my bro and colleauges came to hubs' aid. Haih... the car the car.. but I was lucky the lamp-post hit the front passanger seat, not the back passenger seat. The situation could have been worse.
I hurt my left back. I don't know how long the pain will be there. I don't care, for now. I can't. No car, no kaki, as they said.
Doc said lil B is down with food poisoning. The next few days were total madness. The trauma, the cleaning up, etc. I can't remember how I survived not sleeping.. Days later, he got better. And then, he came down with measles.. ah ah ah....
I truly appreciate my brother, my colleagues and my friends, who sent their concern and love, via sms-es, messages, calls... They offered to send food to my house, offered to send me to work, back home, etc.
So there is one thing I earned from this incident: During our toughest times, our eyes are clear to see who our true friends are....
