She was hospitalized :(

After the 3rd day of having high fever, abang and I brought Coan to the Mouwsat Hospital. Actually, she refused to go but we forced her to go. I was worried when Coan kept complaining of spinning head and stomach ache.


We reached hospital at about 11.30am but the registration process took me almost 1/2 hour though no other patient was there (talk about the lembapness of s@udis). We were directed to the doctor's room then. Dr Ftma was supposed to treat Coan. We waited in front of her clinic. It was opened. I could see there was 1 guy was talking to the doctor. I'm sure he's not a patient because Dr Ftma is a Paedetrician and the room was not shut. The man was too old to be a paedetric and if he was really required a doctor's treatment, the room should be shut.

Only after 15 minutes later, we were able to go in (Geram jugak rasa dengan doctor ni. Sanggup biarkan patient tunggu kat luar). We went in. Coan's body temperature was 39.6 C. Very high, told the doctor, though I thought it was not as high as last nights. That means, last night must have been 40 C or more!


Without any delay, Dr Ftma asked her nurse to insert a suppersitory inside Coan's b*tt. Then she said,

"3 days of high fever - it requires an admission"

Actually, I already suspected so when we were on the way to the hospital. The fever had been prolonged for 3 days. No doctor would let the patient go without admitting them in the hospital. A proper treatment should be given.


The nurse brought us to another counter - to register for the room/ward. The guy there was friendly though I think he is a S@udi too. After that, we went upstairs. The room was slightly small. The nurse told me all rooms were occupied. They would transfer us to a bigger room if there was one.

At about 8.00pm, I noticed the room next to ours was vacant - housekeeping lady was cleaning it. So, I asked the nurse to change room. Our visitors - Liza, As and their husbands helped us to move our stuff there.

Dah sihat sikit la ni - dah boleh gurau dengan Shahmey

Actually this is the 3rd time Coan was hospitalized. The first time was when she had a problem of Pneumonia Bronchitis. The second time was when she cut her tendon after falling from the toilet sink. No wonder Coan is scared of hospital. When thinking about hospital, she had to think of injections, water drip and not being able to move around which were totally different from Coan's liking.


We were there from 11 - 14 February 2008. It was not so nice experience though. The doctor has changed her antibiotic once. The first one was not strong enough I supposed.

Abah bought Mc Donald since Coan refused hospital food - Kakak joined too :)

Throughout the stay in the hospital, Coan's temperature was always up and downs. Sometimes it was high and sometimes it was low. She felt better but still complaining of headache sometimes.

Among many nurses, she's the most friendly to Coan.

Coan was not allowed to be discharged yet actually but we insisted. It has been 4 days and they kept repeating the same treatment. So, we decided to get those prescribed medicine and let Coan consume them at home (which I doubt Coan would take them).


According to the doctor, this kind of disease is normal and it always happen to the kids in Saudi. I decided to let Coan heal in a natural way since she has already treated in the hospital. I hope she is getting much better soon. Insyaallah..
