Walking through the Valley... Part 2

After the entire episode and wishing and praying deep down to be able to go home, it was alas to no avail.

The substitute Dr recommended that the most impt thing is to get me to KKH immediately. I was in shock.

Reasons?
1. Scared sthing serious may happen...
2. YEt to settle Giselle and Kaelynn... i miss sleeping with them at night!
3. Pls God, don't let me deliver in a public hospital!!!~~~~~I don't want any other drs to deliver me and also,
4. I'm not sure what to expect and what lies ahead of me and I HATE THE UNEXPECTED!!

Arrived at KKH at 6pm and the whirlwind of events that just flew past me was overwhelming.

- Arrived at the 24hrs Women's Clinic and told by an amah, "33 weeks pregnant must go delivery suite.... cannot come here! down here is only for below 33 weeks!"

- Excuse me, I'm here to be observed not for delivery... y go delivery suite??!!

- As the pain in my tummy was gg haywire, Kit decided for me to sit near the lift lobby so that he can check out the place before we decide where to go.

- Nurse asked Kit to bring me into Delivery Suite and I was shocked. Nurse replied,"y u so shy?? Come here no A&E one... everything got procedure. Must report here at Delivery Suite before we assess/ward u."

-PLEASE!!!!!! What kind of procedure is that??!!!Anyway, it just bodes ill when she proceeded to send me into DS(Delivery Suite) 12. Dr-in-charge: Dr Edwin Thia

8:00pm
- Contractions started to kick in slightly. Was hooked to the CTG, Catheter and also did a series of blood test as the doc and staff nurse in charge took my BP and it was still horrendously high.

- Dr Edwin came in and *gasp* he is a young doc!!

- 1st thought: Can trust a not??!!!!

- Dr Edwin explained that my case is a really serious one and the only way is to deliver the baby. He also informed us that if my BP is getting lower, then most prob he will be able to deliver the next morning. But if BP is still high, may need immediate C-sec.

- 1st shock came in: Blood results 1st round shows that all my results are haywire. Liver and lungs are already affected and the levels of acid in blood is either unusually high or low.

- Dr Edwin decides to give me steroid injections for my baby to help mature his lungs. He assured me that this will be the most painful injection of my life and there are 2 doses to complete. If time allows, KEndrick will get the 2 full doses. If not, even 1 dose will have to do the trick.

- Kit decide to go hme to pack my things and we were still laughing and thinking that okay its gg to be a huge scare after all.... nothing to worry... but just in case, I decided to msg all our frens. Hopefully with the power of prayers will help!! It will, it will it will!!!

10pm
- just finished watching 乒乓圆. maybe i shld just take a nap and forget everything.

- dr Edwin comes into DS 12 looking serious. he needs to operate immediately as the 2nd set of results reveal worse findings.

- I called Kit to hurry back as there were many papers to sign...Dr Edwin went on to book the OT

- Once Kit arrived, Dr Edwin immediately sat down to explain to us how critical and crucial time was now in delivering the baby. Although I knew time was of essence, i couldn't accept that I will be delivering in this situation. I really really really do not trust that this is happening!!

- At this pt in time, I will like to really thank Dr Edwin for answering all my ridiculous qns at the pt in time. I believe if I had been this dr, I wld have just knock the patient out and just operate.

List of stupid qns i asked:
a. Y are u so young? CAn trust u?
b. How abt giving me GA? (Dr Edwin told me no GA was allowed as I will be completely gone and it may lead to serious implications eg fits)
c. U are so young...
d. how abt the cord blood banking i signed up for??!! does that mean I can't bank bb's cord for other's use now??!!
e. R u Christian??? I really want Christian dr to op me!! (Guess he's not but just to pacify me, he allowed me to pray for his hands so that operation will go on smoothly)
f. u're still too young....but i trust u Doc!

--> Through it all, Dr Edwin just smiled and laughed and explained patiently that he knows wat he is doing. I learnt for once there's nothing now except "Trust in the Lord with all your heart"
