April 2008
Bad month. Just when Chaz settled in in Riverlife Kindergarten, Jaez was admitted in KKH due to adhesion.
The day before we were at escape Theme Park with jordan and they had lots of fun!
That very night during dinner he complained that his tummy is painful so i stop feed and put himto bed. but he woke up many times complaining pain throughout the night. I text Simon and ask him for symptoms of adhesion and it matches. So i brought him to Dr Lam the on Sunday morning and he told to to send him straight to KKH and do a drip and nil by mouth to see if it will clear on its own
From admission till discharge from KKH, experience was BAD.
1st they did not drip him after many request from us. Worse, they gave jaez water to drink after i tell them that he may be dehydrated.. that makes him worse, he started throwing out. (Dr Lam says nil by mouth and the MO still gives water! Why can't they drip him???)
When he was send to the ward we waited for another hour or 2 for the doc to come to drip him and after which they tell me he is badly dehydrated. 
He was in constant pain and had disturbed sleep throughout till his op the next morning. Was a long op. I cannot forget that very scene where i have to carry him, comfort him and lay him down on the operation bed. he was crying for me to save him from this agony and pain but i am helpless.. how sad it is when a child call out for his mummy for help and all i can do is stand there and do nothing.. i left the theatre when he fell asleep.. worried
Thank God the op was successful. He was transferred to the HIGH DEPENDANCY UNIT. I have to stressed this because i thought HIGH D would mean extra care for patients but i was wrong.
He developed acute respitory distress during his stay there which could have been PREVENTED. But the nurses and MO did not do all they can to help him.. They did warn us of chest infection after op so they send a therapist up to advice us they exercise to do on Jeaz to PREVENT. But they conly come up once or twice and expect us to do it. Jaez was weak and drowsy and in pain, he cant cough out the phlegm. When we notice that he is flaring we inform the MO and he gave Jeaz ventolin puff. thats all. That night Simon helped me stayed over to look after jaez so i can rest at home. He notify the nurse in charge many times that his SPO2 has fallen below 95 and sometimes 85. But all she said was its machine error! Can you beat that? Machine error.. how safe can it be..
Next moment i got a call fro simon to ask me to rush down to kkh. When i was there they were resuscitating jaez already... i went in and jaez was breathing very hard and reaching out for me.. the sedate and intubated him and send him to ICU, stayed there for 3 days.. me and nick camp at kkh lift lobby.
Dad lodge a complain and suddenly the nurses start to turn nice and people start to work
If you are in hospital, you can see very clearly that the MO don;t talk and check patients.. they leave all these jobs to the nurse. They are high class. Even in ICU it was the nurse to notify the doctors on some of the things that they did not pick up when examining the patient. And MO just readh the records and sign according to the nurse 'findings' never touching or checking the patients, or should i say, rarely. only the senior doctors would
so when dad went to talk to the panel of doctors, thats the book they use to say they had done their job... if one day someone were to put a hidden camera in the ward, they sure die badly.. really
this stay is really traumatising for jaez. it affected him so much and was clingy to me for a long while.. pls let this be the last..
i don't wanna loose him.. he is too precious..
i love my boys and i hope that they will be bless and protected..
