Today is the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. Celebrating dad in law’s birthday by having brunch at old house today. Cooked braised chicken wings as dish.
But something unlucky happened after the celebration. My hubby was admitted to hospital. It began this morning actually, he has been going to toilet and had bloody poo poo. He is quite worried at first but I comforted him to monitor the condition, if it continues then we need to see doctor immediately. Then after the brunch celebration, he had his 6th time bloody poo poo. Immediately we went to the Emergency Department at Borneo Medical Centre.
At the Emergency Department, he needs to take the blood test to check if he is infected by any virus around his stomach area. After around one hour to two hours, the report is out and said he is safe from the stomach virus. But need to do endoscopy to determine what is the cause of the blooding. The Emergency doctor called the specialist, Dr Chen for advices then he advised us to be admitted and do the endoscopy by today evening.
He was given medicine to clear all the food in his stomach before the endoscopy. During this period he has been to the toilet for a few times to clear all the foods in his stomach. Around 10pm, he went to do the endoscopy. After that we waited for the report come out. The report was out around 11pm something. We were told by the doctor that there are ulcers in his small bowel and there is one of the ulcer is bleeding non stop so need to do operation immediately.
We were very shocked at that time and at that situation, it was like we were not given any choices to choose. Just have to accept the condition and arrangements by the doctor. My hubby was being sent to the operation theatre around 12am something. During his operation time, it was the longest waiting time I have been experienced before. It seems like the time has stopped. I was waiting outside the operating theatre for almost 4 to 5 hours. It was so cold and I am worried to death hoping that his operation went smoothly.
Thanks god that the operation went well. The doctor said one small part of his small bowel has been taken out, the part where the bleeding happened, leaving around 8 inches of scar on his stomach. He still needs to stay at hospital for further monitoring.
