Sean is down with gastric flu since last monday (28/08/06). He keeps on vomitting almost after each milk intake and got worst on Wednesday night, so we brought him to K.K Hospital. He was admitted for observation by the Doctor. The Doctor refrained him from any milk related (dairy product) intake.
At first he was alright, still running around in the ward. Later I think he got hungry, really hungry since he hasnt been eating well the whole day so he started to cry for his milk. But we are only allowed to feed him 15ml of glucose every 15 mins because the Doctor doesn't allowed him to have any food especially dairy products, worried that it may upset the stomach again which may lead to another series of diarhea and vomitting.
I find him very pitiful, as you can really tell that he was so hungry that he treasure his 15ml of glucose. So later part i went to consult a junior doctor on duty. He did mentioned that after the completion of the glucose which was like 2 hours later, we are allowed to probably feed him with Ribena or Barley water first. But i think was too hungry and exhausted to wait for another 2 hr so he cried until he fall asleep.
The next morning, after the Doctor came to inspect him. We were told that he should be alright, while his vomitting and diarhea will gradually stop probably not immediately but after a while. We can really tell that he is back to his usual self again. So mischievioues playing with the nurses again.
He was discharged on 31/08/06 evening. Now occassionally he is still vomitting a little and his poos is still like watery. We tried changing his milk to soya milk yesterday, apparently my mum say it got better, so now we are still monitoring, hoping that he can recover fast.
He has loss quite abit of weight which I am quite upset. Originally he is already not a chubby boy, now he even loss more weight. SIgh........
