June 2010 – mummyinthecity

Its been a long a tiring week. As a matter of fact it has been a very tiring month. I have not rested even when I was taking days off from work to spend time with the children. Anyway, the month will be passing soon and I hope that the month to come will be more relaxing.

I wanted to share what happened to me last Friday as it was the most horrifying moment of my life. The day before, as I finished the final day of my nlp training I brought up the subject about the dizzy spell that DITC was suffering off and on for the past two weeks. We have eliminated various food and drinks but it brought us nowhere. So I suggested that he should do a thorough checkup to see whether his blood pressure or cholesterol level is playing a part in this dizzy spell. So I called up the clinic near the office to set for an appointment the next morning. the nurse advise that that DITC should fast so that we get an accurate reading. And so he did.

On Friday morning, DITC accompanied me for breakfast before proceeding to the clinic. We reached there at 9.15 but the doctor is still not in. But the nurses got DITC prepared for the examination. It started off with the nurse taking his blood pressure which was normal before preparing to take his blood. DITC insisted that I go in the doctor’s room with him so that he have somebody to chat with.

I was chatting with DITC as I saw the nurse poke him with the needle and drawing his blood. She was already on her third tube when DITC said that he felt dizzy.The nurse comforted him saying that its normal to feel dizzy but he kept saying that he was dizzy and suddenly he was all quiet. The nurse said something and I was already running towards him. As he was sitting down I hold up his head and called out daddy…Daddy… I tried opening his eyes and saw them rolled up . Oh God was he having a seizure? I kept tapping on his cheek and calling out Daddy…Daddy . For a moment there, I thought that I’m going to lose him. The nurses kept tugging his arm and calling out his name. It was about a minute or so before he woke up and look at his arm again. “Are you alright Daddy?” he nodded but looked confused. After responding to the nurses, they decided to bring him to the bed in an adjoining room.

Before we reached the bed he fainted again and was half lying on the floor when the door opened and a pakcik offered his help. He probably heard all the commotion from the outside. He helped us put DITC on the the bed and quickly took off DITC shoes and started to massage his feet. He ask me DITC name and kept on calling him. He asked me to keep on tapping DITC’s cheek. DITC woke up again and the pakcik ask him to mengucap nak…jangan tutup mata…mengucap. DITC kept asking me what happened…what happened…I think he saw me all teary eyed and red faced. I said “ its ok sayang…its ok.. You are fine…mengucap now…mengucap. The pakcik offered some water and stroke DITC head. Dah ok dah nie…dah berpeluh Then the doctor finally came in and when everyone was calm, the pakcik excuse himself and I kept saying thank you to him. Syukur pakcik tu ada.

The doctor ask me to get something for DITC to eat. I didn’t want to leave him but the doctor assured me that he was fine. Trembling, I went out from the clinic and as I went inside the car and sat on the driver’s seat I cried again. I called my mom and told her about DITC and she told me to be strong and not to worry about the kids as they are all well taken care off. She asked me to calm down and make sure that DITC was fine.

At the clinic, they did everything from x-ray to ECG, stress test and echo test but everything was normal. The doctor said that the dizzy spell could be related to ENT and it could be that he fainted because he was anxious. But this is not the first time he has given out blood. He has gone through several episode of severe pain that can cause anxiousness but not to the extent of passing out. What if he passed out again and I am not there to help him out or what if something worse. Those thoughts kept lingering in my head. Now I act like an insane woman. Whenever he frowns or put his hand on his forehead I will ask whether he feels fine. When he is asleep I will look or touch his chest to check whether he his breathing.

Anyway DITC, sooner or later you will read this post. I just want to tell you that you scare me big time last Friday and I would also like to remind you again and again that the kids and I love you very much. Don’t get yourself all stressed up unnecessarily.
