Days of Sadness...

My mum's been hospitalized in ICU, HSAJB...
It just happened so suddenly..!
Just last week i got a call from my brother saying my mum entered the hospital due to renal calculi (kidney stones)...
Ermm, okay stones aren't a big problem at all, perhaps it will just passed out by itself

Then, last Friday, i got a call from my brother saying my mum had been admitted into ICU! I frozed. I really frozed on the spot.

Worse thing is that they haven't found out the real cause which was causing all the symptoms (low blood pressure, chest pain, O2 saturation low, respiratory failure)!
Then, when i gotten home the next day, more shockingly, i was told my mun have to be intubated (which meant really really serious..!)
Okay, what's worse than this can happened? I really hope not...

We went to visit her everyday and she was already on sedation.
I talked to her when i don't even know whether she could hear me..
Thinking to myself, 'Perhaps this is a chance for her to get back the lost sleepless hours that she had'. Positive thinking, did some good to me at least...

After a few days, the doctor told us that she can be extubated! Boy was i glad! When we visit her the next day, she was conscious as the sedation's effects wore off, but she complains of abdominal pain this time round. Provisional diagnosis: gallstones.
My brother assured me that this is a minor thing compared to what happened to her.

Really hope she won't get any of the complications and recover soon.
