What happened last night...

10.05pm
Daanish went to bed after a day of fun and laughter.


12.30am
Daanish woke up crying. As usual, I will just plonk myself beside him on the mattress and groggily pat him back to slumberland. Most of the time he will. However, this morning was different. He was screaming extra loud and refused to go back to sleep. As I lifted my heavy eyelids, what I saw in the dark and with my blurry vision puzzled me.

A dark mucus was hanging down his nose. I used my hands to wipe it. To my horror, what I saw, in the dark and with my blurry vision, was what looked like blood. I searched for my glasses under the pillow with the other hand, woke my hubby up and asked him was that blood in my hands. He quickly got up, and switched on the lights.

And true enough, it WAS BLOOD!

Lots and lots of it coming out of Daanish's nose. It was everywhere. On his pillows, the mattress, his clothes, my clothes, half of his face... I'm not exaggerating here. The blood even got into his mouth.

Of course I panicked. I couldn't think. All I know I had to wipe my little boy's face clean. But I was scared I would hurt him. I didn't know how he got so bloody. I suspected he got a nose bleed so I pinched his nose. He retaliated of coz. So in the midst of the screaming, my hubby told me we had to take him somewhere. (Scared if its anything serious. Daanish is falling down practically everyday. Bumping his head into everything.)

So hubby got ready while I tried to calm Daanish. I knew he loved the mirror. So I played peek a boo.

Then I realised, as I looked into the mirror, Daanish's face looked like Carrie from the movie, erm, Carrie. (Remember the movie?) Didn't wanna scare him further so I switched the light back off and on-ed the dim light. Then continued peek a boo-ing. He calmed down.

Then I got ready. To think that I had actually wanted to iron my tudung! Silly me. Of coz slammed by hubby lah.

Then grabbed some extra clothes for Daanish, blanket, milk and we were out.

Nee norr... nee norr..


1.15am
Children's Emergency. Registeration. Found out that we forgot his BC. We couldn't remember his no. I thot I had it in my head. But it jus didn't wanna come out. Lucky the lady could get his details with his dob.


1.35am
Nurse checked his BP, took his weight, asked some questions. By then all the blood had tried up. Looking at pitiful face, I feel so sebak. Tapi muka jer kesian. Tangan, kaki, masih tak tau diam. trying to reach the wires, the monitor. The nurse had to take his BP 3 times coz his legs just couldn't stop moving. (BTW, FYI, babies' BP are taken on the leg)


1.45am
Doc's examination. She said nothing serious. Might have caused by a burst blood vessel. Because a baby's vessel is so delicate, any hard rub or knock might cause it to burst. Alhamdulillah... we jus have to observe him. If it happens again, we have to bring him back.


2.05am
Reached home. Tired and spent. From an adventurous night to the ER.


5.30am
Woke up.
Alamak... Tak sahur lagi! Dah 3 hari buat keje macam ni. Hai lah nasi ambeng, terbiar kat esbok. Ku fikirkan ku boleh menjamu mu di dini hari. Tapi apa kan daya...



So that was our night.
It was a scary night indeed. Reaaally scary.

And today, I'm reeaaallli groggy.
And what happens when I'm sleepy?
I get even more selenger.

Pooped @ 4:29 PM
