UNPUBLISHED STORY: Iman's 2nd Hearing Test - 08 July 2011/Serdang Hospital

08 July 2011/Serdang Hospital - Iman had to undergo her 2nd hearing test. This time I just gave her usual dose of milk at 5 am. She's supposed to fast from midnight, well I was afraid that the test would start late and she would slept till late afternoon with empty tummy. As usual she had to be sedated.
She woke up early that morning and in a good mood. At the hospital, I had to ask for the OT gown because the shirt and pants they prepared for her didn't fit her at all. They said they prepared the shirt according to the common size for a 3 year old kid.
At about 9.30am the doctor and nurse inserted the needle on her right hand. I was told to leave the room so they can do the job. The door was closed, while I waited out side. My heart was ripped apart hearing her screaming and crying in there... After awhile i just walked in with my husband. The needle was in, her hand bandaged, leaving the plastic tube dangling. I saw drops of blood on the bed sheet. Iman was still screaming and crying. My hubby scooped her up and we went outside to calm her down. She tried to pull the plastic tubing and I managed to stop her. She refused to look at her right hand after that.
About 10 am, we went downstairs to the ENT clinic for the next procedure - sedation. It went smoothly, not much resistant from Iman may be because the needle is already in. She went into slumber instantly.
Soon after that the audiologist did her job.
The result - much better than the previous test... I don't know how did it happen... was the test done before not accurate? or the test this time around was not accurate? did the machine not measuring accurately? We were not given the answer... Or may be Iman's hearing has improved ? I was puzzled !
At last the audiologist suggested we put her under different test, sedation not involed this time and I agreed instantly. The test would be done in about six months time. In a way, I was relieved that she doesn't have undergo this procedure again. Thank God...
Then, she was pushed back up to rest at the day care ward. She was awake and restless and making noises. Other patients there were curious what happened to this baby. We tried to calm her down. At last we resorted to make her a bottle of milk and prayed that she won't vomit. After her 8oz dose of milk she calmed down and I put her to bed. She went to sleep. We were relieved. Alhamdulillah. My husband left for his Friday prayer.
But the calm quiet morning was disturbed when one of the staffs brought in her son, very chubby boy and very NOISY too...talking and screaming at the same time... hhhmmm... I was worried that he would awaken Iman. Luckily Iman manage to sleep through the disturbance. But she did open her eyes few times, she was too drowsy to fully awake. Thank God.
We left the ward about 4.30pm that day... she was wide awake... alhamdulillah... what's left was bruised and swollen right hand...she showed us her hand and I kiss it in hope that it's less hurting... kalau Mak Tok tengok mesti sedih dia...

Here are some pictures of the day:
