Justin was admitted to hospital yesterday. He had some viral infection and his rashes got worse. I felt really sad looking at him and know how itchy it must be for him.

I wanted to get a single room, but all single rooms were occupied. So we checked in to a 6-bedded room first, and hope that someone will check out in the afternoon and we’ll have a room with lesser patients. Oh boy, the room was fulled of patients and family members, it’s quite noisy. Justin refused to stay in the room, my mum had no choice but to carry him walking up and down the corridor until he fell asleep. But still, he woke up everytime we placed him on the bed. So, basically, he’s sleeping in our arms only.

When his paed and skin specialist doctor came for inspection, Justin became extremely difficult and screaming his lungs out. He’s already terrified in the morning when they did the blood test, and when he saw them again, he recognised them immediately and cried like hell. Worse still, I got to undress him and he was struggling with me. Poor fella, even the doctors also kesian him and dare not touch him, just monitor by looking only.

At last, we got to change to an empty 3-bedded room in the evening. Justin was very drowsy already and he slept well. After medication and enough rest, Justin’s rashes began to fade. His temperature was under control as well. Both my mum and I stayed overnight at the hospital with him, luckily the room has a sofa and empty cot bed. We could nap once in a while besides checking on Justin.

This morning, my maid came to replace my shift. I went home to take a quick shower and a short nap. Then I went back to the hospital and asked my mum and maid to take rest. Justin’s feeling much better now, and it’s easier to take care of him. He doesn’t feel like sleeping, so we spent most of the time walking around and chatting with other parents.

His paed and the skin specialist said he’s getting better and may leave the hospital in the evening if we want. Of coz, I can’t wait to bring him home, as I prefer taking care of him in a familiar environment. But if he’s showing red swollen eyesm lips and tongue, my paed said I have to bring him back immediately.

So, I’m still monitoring his condition, but I think he’s doing better now.
