One dae b4 Charlotte turned 15 months old, she was down wif gastric flu... Poor ger.. Early in the morning on 31 Aug, she started vomitting water while she was still half asleep... Then she became very irritable, probably from stomach discomfort... Later in the morning, she oso vomitted the milk we gave her... We decided to bring her to see the pd, Dr Simon Ng @ MAH.
@ the pd's, she was still in good spirits, playing wif her favourite toy, walking around the clinic... Dr Ng gave her medicine n instructed us not to gif her dairy products for the time being till her stomach settled down... he told us to gif her porridge water, barley water, soy milk instead... if she was still unable to retain any food, we were to bring her to MAH to be put on the drip, for fear of dehydration...
We brought her to my in-laws' n Dearie took urgent childcare leave... @ my in-laws', Charlotte was still unable to retain the food, she vomitted wateva we gave her n became restless n tired... felt so sorry for her cos she kept requesting for food but jus couldn't keep the food down... we had no choice but to admit her to MAH in the afternoon... She was put on the drip, n her arm was wrapped up wif a soft 'plank' wif lotsa tape, guess to prevent her from pulling the whole thing out... pained our hearts whn we were locked out of the Treatment Room where Dr Ng and the nurses put the drip on her...
Once she was put on the drip, her vomitting stopped n she stopped asking for food... Her appetite gradually improved, able to retain porridge, bread n water... But she was veri bored, being confined within the room n her bed... Luckily, Dr Ng discharged her the following dae on her 15th month. =)
