His new drugs routine - Part Uno

Bila :: Last month
Mana :: APSH, Ampang
Siapa :: Ibu, babah & si teruna

All his life, Adan had always been struggling with his nose either being blocked or runny. It gets worse in the morning after shower. We didn't take too much attention to it but I do worry when he choked on his breath during sleep. Lately the snoring gets louder & choking more frequent. One day, my immediate neighbor had her doter operated to remove her tonsil, same age as Hannah. She told me that all this while she tot her doter was having problems same as Adan and relate those to lungs until the doctor said it's ENT problem. So dalam hati terus teringat Adan's buzzing breath came from the nose instead of lungs. Decided that Adan should see specialist as well coz it could be sinus. Decide je la buatnya tidak.

But then few weeks ago, Adan had a weird problems, something like rashes on his skin somewhere around his eyes, armfold & the worst inside the earlobe but outside the ear itself. Ku ingatkan ear infection coz on 2nd day it does look a lil bit wet. His left eyeball was swollen and red with patches of rash. Kesian ini budak.

Gi jumpa GP and he suspected it could be eczema but Adan is very sure that it's not itchy at all. So I asked him to refer Adan to specialist sambil2 nak check his sinus. He wrote 'Allergic rhinitis' as the referral case.

Ubat yg dia bekalkan worked fine and all the symptoms went away after few days. Adan was on 'curfew'. No games, on device no TV for him. Konon nak bg mata rehat.

It wasn't until yesterday, 1 day before his appointment, that I googled the medical term and it got me worried. Not to mention sad coz there is no cure for it. So yesterday morning, since Adan's school declared a day off, we both set to bring him to see ENT (Paed) @ AmpangPuteri. Ramainya umat kat klinik dia & I think he's quite a reputable figure in his field as I saw a lot of newspaper clips featuring him on the wall as well as certs from reputable institutions inc. Harvard. We were from 9.30am and finally were invited in around 12noon, sampai nk abis la bateri iPad dikerjakan Adan..

Tak sempat duduk, one look at Adan he immediately spelled out all the symptoms 'mata bengkak, hidung blocked, selalu pening' etc. Spot on. Woooo sangat nujum pak belalang ini loktor woo. So after he got it explained to us, he mentioned the term 'allergic rhinitis'. Hmmm pandai jugak Dr muda kt KlinikIdzham tu sbb klu yg lain salu ckp xde pape. It's quite common but it has its own level of severity.

Since we had never consulted any specialist before, he said we should try the drugs first, for 1 month.

1. Nasonex : Mometasone furoate : Aqueuos Nasal Spray 0.05% (2 puffs each nostril, twice a day for 1 month)
2. Zyrtec : cetirizine dihydrochloride : oral solution (5ml, once a day for 1 month)
3. Afrin : Oximetazoline HCI 0.05% : decongestant nasal spray (2 puff once a day when necessary)

No. 1 & 3 are steroid

We are due to see him again on 28 April 2012 for follow-up and CT Scan.

Some of the things that he mentioned.
- there is no cure but drugs & procedure can reduce the discomfort
- his snoring was due to his swollen tonsil but the swell was not that bad. so even if he removes it, it won't solve the issue, just the snoring.
- The CT Scan will guide him on what to do next, if surgery is needed then surgery it is.

I hope he don't need a surgery no matter how minor even laser with no scar. Even looking at him injected at dentist pun buat aku tak keruan. Don't want him to feel any pain anymore. He went through so much already.

*mode : google surgery for allergic rhinitis*

*Nota kaki kembang: kalau anak tidur malam susah bernapas mcm blocked nose tp xde hingus or pagi2 mcm org selsema yg teruk, go get treatment. I should've brought Adan long time ago. Adan ibu mintak maaf for taking it lightly & let you suffer for so long.

Pengajaran dari acara merempit...

Post ni buat aku naik  angin tengah malam buta. Bila publish kluar selambak 1 perenggan. Konon rajin nak ler edit pehtu laju2 klik ‘Revert to draft’, hamek ko selamat sumer, tinggal blank page. Tp  kata org en.Gugel kan ada. Tanya la soklan sehampeh mana pasti ada jawapannya. Untuk kes hampeh aku ni sila ikut arahannya di sini. Rasa mcm hape lak follow blog senirik tapi I loike sbb terpampang post ku disinun

Nilah dia entry yang merajuk dengan aku semalam, sib baik x sempat repot polis sbb lum 24 jam :P

............................................................................

Ntah apa mimpi incik soami ajak merempit petang tadi selepas dia merempit ke Karak b'sama geng2 di pagi hari. Rasa bersalah ke lama x bawak aiii hahaha gelak seperti Cruella de Vil dalam 101Dalmatian.

Tapi merempit dekat2 je la sbb sambil2 nak isi minyak & beli ubat demam Hannah. Haaa kan betul, ajak sbb nak ambik hati isteri terchenta yang last naik muto tu ntah bila ntah... :P apa kelas nak bawak bini, geng rempit dia sumer 'bujang'an, lagipun kalau bawak aii takut nanti uuu xleh isap rokok hehe

Entry ni nk bagi ilang ngantuk sebenarnya, aku break jap tgh buat slides opis. so buat 1 entry bodoh yg x payah nak pikir bagai.

Tengok tajuk kata pengajaran, tapi membebel je pengajarannya nan ado. Ok, kita terus ke tajuk utama ye puan-puan (ceh ayat konfiden xde reader jantan)

Pengajaran 1:

Sila pakai jaket atau sebodoh2nya beg pinggang supaya takde org pengsan tengok spender pepel mu yg dibeli di Mydin Masjid India itu. Walaupun berlace dan selembut salju, itu hanya utk suami mu, bukan utk pandangan mata pemandu muto & keta di DUKE. Nasib tak baik nmpk pinggangmu yg berlapis itu. Pandangan sedemikian adalah hazard di jalanraya.

Pengajaran 2:

Sila check waktu perniagaan kedai sup mamak mengancam di Setapak sblm bersusah payah konar & detour utk ke sana kerana mamak pun tau penat dan nak rehat hari Ahad.

Pengajaran 3:

Jika tiada knapsack, sila jgn gatal nak beli apa2 kerana membawa plastik belian yang bertajuk *nama kedai cina* di tangan sewaktu menaiki superbike adalah tidak cool.

Pengajaran 4:

Kalau hari hujan, sila pitstop dikedai yg jual byk kudap2an supaya boleh order tanpa henti dan bukannya kedai yang bagi menu ada otak2, kepok lekor dan kerang rebus namun hakikatnya makanan itu hanya ada dalam menu SAHAJA.

Pengajaran 5:

Kalau hujan, superbike tak superbike..lencun tetap lencun, jadi yang menumpang aka menonggek sila jauhi pakaian putih kecuali anda supermodel yg memakai bra jelita di dalam. Suamiku, sila beli baju hujan atau jaket kalis air supaya anda kelihatan seperti alien atau sekurang2nya robot.

Pengaran 6 dan terakhir :

Kalau tak nak se'eh serta nak bajet cun menempek kat belakang rider, sila kuruskan badan supaya anda :

- tidak body conscious setiap kali itu rider potong kereta rapat2. Pemandu kereta lain juga akan kecewa kerana bila kedengaran bunyi vroom vroom, kepala suda bajet ada awek ala2 GadisLitar, skali awek bontot XXL

- tidak mengalami masalah untuk zip jaket rapat kebawah kerana diameter jaket cuma 2/3 dari saiz bontot, lalu jaket melorot naik ke pinggang yg masih ramping walopon kalau salah posisi jadi berlapis juger..

- tidak menganiaya bahagian tepi lubang hidung yang bergesel dengan pipi yang selambak dihimpit oleh helmet ketat yang amat itu. Lubang hidung sempit boleh mengganggu pernafasan dan kita perlu kasihan kepada blackhead2 yg berada dibahagian tersebut. Lemas dia..

Itu sahaja pengajaran berdasarkan acara naik muto laju bersama suami yang ku sayangi petang tadi. Walaupun setakat Gombak & Setapak, banyak pengajaran yang I dapat. Macam pantun siot...like 3x.

Pengajaran tambahan lepas kes post hilang, jangan gatal nak revert to draft & jangan gatal nak create post kat iPad.

My lovely doter is 12, Happy Birthday My Dear

Last Sunday, Hanis turned 12. She's no longer a lil baby, physically, but will be our baby forever.

Happy birthday Along, ibu & babah love you so much. Infinity. Uncountable.

Being 12, the pressure would be on you to act like a 12 years old. Ibu and Babah will try to guide you to be one. Be responsible. Be courteous. Be honest. Be vigilant. Be polite. Be respectful. Most importantly be yourself.

Ibu and babah will slowly loosen up the 'control rope' tied around you but we will pull it tight where necessary so that you won't mistakenly venture into dangerous path along the way. Just saying so that you know we will be there for you for good and bad for better or worst.

Happy 12 birthday, enjoy your birthday present.

We didn't buy her any data plan so we'll need to teach her how to get onto wi-fi

Though it's on Sunday, no partayyy but we bought cake for her & she got to skip her swimming class (Adan & Adik oso skipped the class hehe)

Wif my lovely doter @ school, attended her UPSR briefing and akujanji session  

* Note : She now wakes up on her own using the phone with ringtone ayam berkokok, thumbs up dear. Proud of you.
