virus, please go away far from us!

received a bad call from dad this afternoon and get to know that my brother had a virus attack due to fever and was in the ambulance making the way to sgh. my heart sank to the very bottom. i got changed and hurried in a cab to the hospital.

alot of thoughts came into my mind when i'm on the expressway. it was the longest journey ever. my heart was in an anxiety. it popping twice or thrice times faster than usual. the journey seems longest. how i wish i can take over the wheels and ramp to its highest speed. i kept my praying deep down my heart, a silent prayer!

i called mum while on the way to double check on which hospital they are sending him to. when she picked up my call, all that i heard was a helpless voice of hers and the loud (very thunder loud) siren sound. the siren has been a very bad impact to my mind. i could still hear the hallucination of the siren sound now, esp at the quieter time.

they have to re-route to sgh instead of ttsh due to insufficient bedding at A&E. i hopped off the cab to A&E and mum accompany brother with the doctor. doctor gave medication to subside the fever and took a long big test tube of blood from him for further laboratory testing. he was left resting on the bed and we were asked to come back in 1.5hrs time for the report. that was a terrible wait. the aunties came too, worried for him and the presence of the aunties really comforts us, esp mum. at least, the moral gets boasted up. went for a drink while waiting. well, the mask get wet through by my perspiration.

has some light dinner at the foodcourt. it was a quite dinner. were analyzing why the virus came so sudden and immediately conqueror his body. finally after the pacing up and down to and fro, the test report is out. nothing terrible serious (not N1H1), just a kind of virus (forgotten its monster name) gets into the body due to the fever and the body was not able to withstand the defence so it developed into cramp. was not hospitalized, given MC for the next few days with medication. doctor mentioned that it will still be feverish for the next 2 days before it subside. shoot away the virus and off you go...please stay away from us!

phew! thanks for the praying deep down my heart. it's going to be some offering tomorrow morning to thanks everything in fine place.

speedy recovery, bro!

we  you!
