Just a week ago.. (Nightmare while I'm awake)

A week ago, my baby Madge had to be confined in the hospital because of some stomach infection (gastroenteritis). At 10 months old, she had to be injected with dextrose to prevent dehydration. She suffered from vomiting and later on, fever. A day after she was admitted, she had a fever convulsion, or  kombulsyon in tagalog. It's a seizure which occurs when a person has a high fever.

During those time, I didn't know what to do, it's safe to say I was hysterical and my mind was literally blocked. I just screamed for the doctor and nurses because my baby's lip color was turning purple. It scared the hell out of me and the only thing that entered my mind was I might lose my little angel. After an hour of tension with the doctor and the nurses, and after giving her a cold sponge bath, her temperature went down from 39 degrees celsius to 37.6.

I never want this to happen ever again so after being discharged in the hospital I made it clear to everyone in the house not to let her eat anything but fruits and baby foods. :)

I thank the Lord and the doctors and nurses who never fail to check her often.

She's one tough baby, didn't cry much after the IV was inserted, and didn't even minded the blood test when the needle was injected.
