Aug 22, 2011 - Eight days to Syawal

Over the weekend i spend my time at home as Eliza discharge on Saturday noon. She wanted to be at home as the medical team in UMMC failed to identify the virus or bacteria that attacked her lungs. she asked for two days leave from UMMC.

Just few minutes before I reach home she inform me that she wanted to have her dinner at Victoria station of which I agreed, provided she has to break fast at home. She smiled at me once I steped in....

After a few bites of nasi campur she excused herself from the dining table as she dont feel good. She step into our bedroom and rest herself there alone.

As I promised her earlier for dinner at victoria Station, I waited for her at the living hall till 8.00pm. nothing happened. She's still there on her bed resting. Comes to 9.00pm, she still there in our room sleeping. She's not well. I decided not to wake her up and no dinner at Victoria Station that night. She only awake at 4.30am.

The next day, I took her and Mama to Seremban 2 for alternative treatment. we lasted there till 3.00pm. as I promised her yesterday, finally we heading to Victoria Station for buka puasa. She asked me to head to VS in PJ. On our way there, she changed her mind, she wanted to have it in Bangsar, I follow..............

Once we arrive at VS Bangsar, she changed her mind again, she dont want to have it there, she want to have Thai food. I nodded. We ended up having our dinner at Athantuya Restaurant next to Victoria Station. Food there was dammed good.

We got home around 830pm,  Eliza complaining that she had fever. She went straight to our bedroom and rest. She did not have her sleep well until 6.00am.

By 8.00am on Monday, I accompanied her to UMMC for follow up treatment. Her body temperature was 38.4C.  She must be admitted immediately. That's is the only choice.

I met Dr Bee around 12.00noon. We discussed about the next course of action and the consequences delaying the next phase of Chemo. We both finally agreed to treat the fungal infection first. However, after 3 weeks of biopsy sampling, the medical team failed to identify the problem. We are in the dark.

My Eliza still had her fever on and off, just about 3.00pm today she called me and said she's at 39.9C. I hope the team will get the answer as soon as possible. I hope they do not put her as guinea pig.

Going through Second Week Of Ramadhan @ UMMC

As usual, I went back to KL over the weekend and straightaway to UMMC. Eliza condition improve only on forth day of her admission. However, she is on anti fungal drug for the next few weeks. This has caused her shivering every few hours.

She cried every times when she was on the phone with me. She wanted to get home as soon as possible. she cant take the pain. The side effect of the drug now is worst than chemo.

Earlier this morning, the doctors had advise her to go for her third phase of chemo. She's not convinced. She knew that she will stay put in the hospital for the next 45 days if she agreed for the chemo. I am speechless.......

I love you ALONG.

UMMC and Ramadhan

The last time I wrote was about a month ago. That was when Eliza discharged from Pantai Hospital. She seems to be very happy to get her normal live back. She started driving two weeks after. She went the most to Klang and Kuala Lumpur.

She spent time shopping for tudungs and new clothes. Each weeks she went to Klang for an alternative medication and when the day came for medical examination follow up in Pantai Hospital the result was beyond expectation. I and the rest of the family members was overjoyed.

Come the third week we have to do follow up again. Dr Shanker advise Eliza to go for the next course of chemo. We finally agreed to him for good.

Arrangement made by Dr Shanker to admit Eliza to UMMC on July 03, 2011. She finally went to the hospital for admission on that date but she seem to be very unhappy with the ward and room provided. (off course as it is not a private hospital). She now have to share room with another patient.

In the evening of July 03, doctors have screened her and found that shes not fit for chemo due to certain reasons. she was as to go home.

July 05, 2011. Eliza reported back to UMMC and started her fasting as chemo program will take palce the next day. A week after the program as usual Eliza became very tired and so weak and it last for the next 21 days.

I decided not to write or update anything about her till her 21 days as I expected that she will be discharge on the 22nd day but I was wrong.

She came out from the hospital on Aug 01, 2011. That is the first day of puasa. She spent 28 days in UMMC. She is happy to be back home but she is very fragile and weak. I decided not to publish any photo hof her as she turn skinny now. All the family members welcome her home including her new maid (Lis).

She only spent 7 days of her puasa at home. On Saturday Aug 07, 2011 after few fever attack she decided to go back to the hospital for treatment. She was admitted at 2.30am on Sunday August 08, 2011.

She was immediately put on drips and antibiotics. I spent the whole nite next to her bed. Early in the morning she was served with bread and butter. I went back to Kelana Jaya shortly after as I need to have my short nap.

Back at home, Mama is preparing her home cook lunch pack while I asleep. Met her again at 1.30pm for lunch and the routine goes.....

Today, Eliza is in UMMC for the third day. This morning she went for her citiscan and they spotted something on her liver. She will stay there maybe for the next few days
