Hand Foot & Mouth Dramas Conclusions...

So, I was at Dr. Wong's clinic for further check-up on Syahnaz mouth disease on Wednesday. I'm amazed to see so many parents waiting for the doctor's consultation and medication. Obviously there are lots of kids not being well these days.

As per routine the nurse took Syahnaz weight and height and I was suprised when the nurse informed that Syahnaz weight is 25kg when Sunway Medical told me last 2 night that she is 20.5 kg. I remembered that I was feeling worried that she lost weight drasticly but concluded that maybe its lost weight due to to the fact that she is now in school. Well, one mistake spotted that instant to Medical Sunway nurse which I dont want to take it too hard at that point of time.

Anyway, when my turn finally popped up, I anxiously explained to the doctor on all history that has been happening to my poor girl. She proceed with the necessary checkups and immediately told me its fungus that are all around Syahnaz mouth and tongue. Apparently its called THRUSH which may caused by Syahnaz putting hands in her mouth (which she always do) or putting foods in her mouth with dirty hands.

Dr. Wong then prescribed me an oral gel named Daktarin and assured me that Syahnaz would be recovered from the fungus in 2 to 3 days time. She is even fit for school as the disease its not being contagious. It was such a relieved to hear at such.

I was also asked to immediately stop the antibiotics given by Sunway Medical that she claimed its not antibiotics as I was told. I don’t bother asking what was it instead, to avoid further frustration in me towards Sunway Medical‘s doctor.

I questioned Dr. Wong on the explanations given by Sunway Medical doctor which is really contradicting from hers. She was too nice to answer that Sunway Medical may never experience such disease and for that reason they then jump into conclusion by advising to put my girl under observation instead.

Can you guys accept that???? Well...... I don’t!!!! Imagine me being paranoid and not sleeping in peace to monitor my girl since the incident took place, when its actually not that serious at all....

What a pity right...

Above is the letter given by Dr. Wong to Syahnaz principal in school, explaining on the symptoms Syahnaz is facing and also for assurance that Syahnaz is clean from Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease, which I thought is very smart of Dr. Wong to do so...

Hand Foot & Mouth Dramas...

It was a shocked of my life to see lots of ulcers all over Syahnaz mouth and white spots on her tongue, when I was about to make her brush her teeth preparing for bed on Monday night. That explained why she was not having much appetite earlier and I felt bad as I have realized that but totally ignored it, taking advantage into making her to loose more weight.

It has been a definate panic situation where I jumped into conclusion thinking it must be the hand foot and mouth disease (HFM) caught in her. In no time I was rushing off to Sunway Medical Hospital, praying and hoping that nothing serious would need to be attend to.

I was glad that there's no much queuing involved at the emergency ward and I was brought to the doctor attention after only 10 minutes waiting. With routine checking and some questions asked, the doctor concluded that Syahnaz is not diagnosed with HFM. Should it be that, the first thing will take placed would be high fever caused by the virus where spots then will appeared around the hands, foot and along with ulcers around the mouth and tongue. He further explained that the fact that Syahnaz are being active running around at that hour, somehow convinced him that she is not having HFM symptoms at all. He add on by saying that the ulcers could be due to her body heat and probably because of her not drinking much water instead.

The doctor further advised to monitor Syahnaz's food intake and give her enough liquid should her appetite is still weak in order for her not to be dehydrated. I was given a choice to admit her for observation where drips will be put in her or bring her home for self monitory with 5 days course of antibiotics given for her to compulsory complete it. I was asked to bring her to the hospital immediately should she be constantly having fever one of this days. She is too under quarantine and are not allowed to be in school for the whole week.

I obviously have chosen to bring her home but a bit skeptical with the doctor's conclusion as the ulcer around her mouth and spots on her tongue is really thick, that worries me much and I'm off from work to monitor her with extra attention.

Below are some images to share. Simply double click on the images for better viewing.

Syahnaz was eating well yesterday as expected but she was having a bit of high temperature last night. I gave her fever medicine and glad that she is sleeping well then.

I'm bringing her to see our pediatrician for second opinion today. I'm crossing my fingers that nothing bad will happen and I hope that she will get well soon. I know she is missing school badly as she has been mentioning her teachers and school friends name few times today.

We shall hear then what Syahnaz's pediatrician got to say on this matter ya!

Counting My Blessings...

I have today decided to sustained a blog of my own since its always been an inspiration for me to write on how i feel of what so ever... Its also in a way a form of relieved for me to express and share thoughts that I faced in my life, my destiny and my all..



I learned as we aged, we bounced to face many or rather more unexpected things in life. I remembered well when I was 27, my sister Azlina told me that things would not be the same when you passed the age of 30. She knows better at that time as she have faced it and it makes her learned that nothing is ever constant in life except for change... I was just giving her a smile back then as I didn't want to think about it much. Now that I have somehow passed that age I realised what my sister told me 10 years back were so true... I also remembered her saying that we should at all time be grateful for what we have by looking at others who are less fortunate in life. By doing so, we will somehow feel blessed with what has been offered to us by Allah. Again, what she says is so true and I am still trying to carry it in my mind always.

I sometimes wonder what I really want in life. I'm married to a man who accept me for what I am and he is still learning hard to be a perfect husband and good father for my children. I'm gifted with two never ending rebellious teenager boys that makes my life more interesting and a chubby growing up daughter who adores me well to keep me on going. I still have an ever loving aging mother and 5 sisters that came along, whom not all but most, loved and care for me dearly for whatever and whoever I am. Besides that I'm granted with adorable nieces and nephews that have been cheering up my life constantly. Favourite family cousins and their children too, appeared to make my life cheerful at times...

Along with all above I get more lucky by having good friends, who never fail being there for me thru thick and thin for the life I'm facing all this while. What else can a person ask for then?? I now realised that I should from before and now on be grateful by counting my blessings and forever thanking allah for the rahmat he has got to offer in this life of mine ...

Wouldn't you??
