YY has been having diarrhoea since coming back from the Bali trip a month ago. That's a long time to have water poop. We were worried and consulted Dr Ang several times. We didn't specifically bring him to see Dr but Dr's off the cuff 'diagnosis' was that YY may be suffering the same bug as OO, just that it went into his lower intestines instead, causing the diarrhoea.
It's finally taking it toll on YY and he started vomiting after the afternoon nap. I took time off and rushed back home. Unlike his usual happy cheerful self, YY was listless and quiet. The vomiting was reminiscence of OO's just a month ago and we knew we had to bring him to the hospital. We quickly packed and made our way to Dr Ang just in time before they close for the day.
As expected he has to be warded and put on a drip. Also a course of antibiotics and nebuliser to help with the coughing. We were assigned to a 2 bedder with a noisy family.
But YY was so tired and traumatised by the drip that he fell asleep almost immediately when we put him in bed and didn't wake up from all the ruckus the adults (i'm being nice, being an adult requires a level of social awareness) were making in the adjacent bed.
