♪ ♫ ThiS Is The Story Of My Life ♪ ♫ ♬: My sis

Tuesday

I feel weird when my dad woke me up at 7a.m because normally my dad will wake me up around 6.30 so that me and my sis can prepare and leave the house at 7 a.m. I tot he overslept so i quickly brush my teeth and dress up… Then went i got down. I only knew that my sis is not going to school therefore there is no nid to rush for school. She said tat she have fever and doesn’t want to go school. Well, having fever once in a while is common so i din ask much. Then at 5 p.m when i reach my grandma home i like normal rush in the room to sleep. Then 7 p.m dinner time, she is still sleeping and i touched her forehead. Its really hot. Therefore dad ask her to see the doctor. Then suddenly dad called grandma home. He told my grandma that she is suspected of dengue fever. OMG~

Then my sis come back, i quickly packed all my stuff and prepare to go home. We went to Columbia Hospital which was literally opposite my ‘taman’. On the way there, she cried because of fear. There is nothing i can do to help~ After registering, we waited for our turn and She had her blood pressure checked. Then She was called to see the doc and have her blood tested for the first time. 1 Hour later. The result came out. It has been confirmed that she is infected and the virus of dengue is there. Luckily her result was not too bad and there is no need to stay in the hospital but there is a need to do a blood test on Thursday. Then i shift her bed to Mom’s room so that my parents can easily take care of her.

Wednesday

I have class at 8 a.m therefore i have to leave home around 6 a.m and board the 6.30 a.m train. I didn’t get to see her until i am back home from college. When i got back, she was so lively facebooking and i touched her forehead there was no fever. Like it has been subsided.

Thursday

My dad was on leave specially to bring my sis to the hospital. The result was no so favourable. Her condition was getting worse. It cant be seen externally but internally the virus has decrease my sis blood count and made the blood more concentrated. Meaning to say the virus is dehydrating the blood. The doctor suggested that she stay in the hospital. But my dad request that give her another day to see how her conditions goes. Dengue has no special medicine. Only way to cure it is by consuming lots of water and her own anti-bodies to kill the virus. So our family used the traditional way. Some suggested eating lots and lots of watermelon. Some of my grandma frens say to eat frog with chicken soup and lots more. We almost tried everything.

Today (Friday)

Because i dun have class today. I was able to sleep until 10 a.m so did my sis. After that we went to the hospital again to get her blood tested. After having brunch, we went back to get the result. Waited for like 20 minutes. We are called in. The doctor states that her condition was getting worse again! It was hard for us to swallow. She doesn’t have fever, spots, muscle cramps, or stomach pain. Why is it getting worse? She cried on the spot. Seeing my sis cried, the doctor tried to make a joke. He say tat staying in the hospital is like staying in a 5-star hotel. My sis cried even louder. The doctor was scared and feel guilty. He told us tat her result is still ok. She can go home but tomolo is the result was getting worse. She will have no choice to stay. Then reached my grandma house. My grandma got another remedy from my aunties. Papaya leaves. Many have said tat eating it will cure dengue faster. Therefore my grandma went to the store to buy some. Then i use the old style equipment to tumbuk it and make extract the jus. The jus was BITTER HELL. My sister tried it alittle and straight vomitted. She was reluctant to take another spoon although how my dad and grandma persuade her. We finaly give up. Its her own life now. We have done all we can do. My dad was restless having to travelled from work to home to buy ingredients for soups and fruits.
