Faris admitted to SJMC

It has been a stressed week for me. Not only there's lot of new assignments at the office, Faris was admitted when we brought him to see Doc Ali at Sime Darby Medical Centre Subang Jaya, previously known as SJMC.

He started having flu on Sat when we went balik kg to Muar on 14 Mac, then came the occasional cough, and on Mon 16 Mac when I fetched him from the babysitter he was having difficulty breathing and I straight away brought him to Policlinic Medi Nur in Puchong. That nite he had difficulty sleeping and by morning the wheezing sound had become so bad that we decided to take him to Doc Ali in SJMC. After going to 1 round of nebuliser he's no better than before so the doc said he got to be admitted.

Checked with PMCare on Faris entitlement of the room and was informed that his is RM150 per day which means a double room in SJMC. We waited for almost 1 hour from the time we went to the admission counter to being able to go into the room. We were allocated with Room 288, Bed 1 and we were later told that being a double room only the mother can stay overnite which makes hubby very mad. It proves very difficult surviving in the double room with the kid on the next bed keep screaming away and with no one to take care of Faris when I want to do something else like doing business in the bathroom. The moment the kid screamed and wake up the light sleeper Faris, I straight away requested for a transfer to a single room. That nite, at one point I had to strapped Faris to the stroller while I went to the bathroom and another time when I just can hold it any longer, I put Faris on the floor beside the bed.

We got our wish the next day by 12 noon and was transferred to Room 248, 3 rooms away from 288. Doesnt care that costs RM230 per nite as long as I have peace, away from a screaming 1 year old. We stayed there for another 2 nites and when Friday came, I told the Doc that we want to discharge. He checked Faris and was not very happy with his condition, still got phlegms he said but will supply us with the necessary medication. At 11am a pharmasict came and explained how to use the ventolin inhaler together with the face chamber as Faris still not able to inhale the ventolin on his own. Another medication is the cough + flu syrup like the one given before, called hydroxyzine, a cream for the rashes on his face and packs of Singular to be mixed in his food at nite.

At 1 pm we are ready to be discharged and went down to settle the bill. The total comes to RM2400 something and we were told if there's any that we have to pay, they will inform us during our follow up appointment.

Finally, after 4 days of not going home., I am home at last.. Home Sweet Home..
