hospital days

this was the most tragic things happens this March 2009.My brother were admitted to the hospital for he was suffering fever for 3 days and he's not eating either. on the first and 2nd days of his fever,we thought that it was just because of the weather change. But then,when it reaches until on the 3rd day and He had a complain for he's really getting bad,so my mom woke me up and told me to bring my brother to the nearest hospital for check up coz it's not normal and not healthy anymore.So, my Dad rushed him to Tagbilaran Community Hospital for check up and the doctor had some laboratory test on his urine and blood. They were told to wait for 60mins for the laboratory results but then my brother told my Dad to bring him home coz he wants to rest. when they arrived.i decided to pick up the result so that for anything about the results i would buy the necessary medicines then..But that was not the scene then..the doctor told me that my brother were subject for admission since they need to go for some test for they found out that his blood platelets were under the normal platelets, our normal platelets is 150,000 but his platelets were only 136,000 and it's alarming! these can lead possibly to Dengue ..Oh my God!! i went home with cold feet, cold hands,my heart beats were that fast,i was really into my mix emotions at that time.because at that point,i still don't have enough financial for the hospital. My hubby's allote will arrive 3 days after.while on my way home,i almost drop some tears.i don't want my brother will suffer, i want him to be admitted in the hospital.So i talked with my parents at home regarding my brother's condition.We knew the fact that we don't have the money to be needed in the hospital. But i insisted to bring my Brother after dinner by hook or by crook.Money can be found somewhere i told them.But then my brother told me to bring him in the morning as what he told me" Don't worry i still can manage overnight,i will not die yet sis!"and you know what it hurst inside, i am very emotional with regards to the situation like this. but i haven't showed them that i am so down. i am strong as what they expect me. i have been stronger ever since but they just don't know that i am too weak also if family were involved.

the following morning, my brother were submitted to ER at the hospital and was examine by Doctor Caminero. it's my brother's first time for a dextrose thing attached to his hand.He stayed 4 and a half days at the hospital and he was diagnos for SVI. Thanks God, it was not dengue!! God forbid.. he just need for a bed rest,drink more fluids,avoid alcoholic beverages,and take vitamins. But honestly, i am not convinced yet that he's fine..i know theres something related to LIVER PROBLEMS coz i found out that his eyes were yellowish.and when i searched the internet, it's one sign of a liver desease. Yeah, my brother drinks and got drunk oftentimes. and i hate it.. He's not listening to us when we tried to avoid him with those drinking mates here.He keeps drinking though he still don't have foods taken.a BAD HABIT shall i say! Now, he realizes already the advises and the good things that we always told him but then he neglected to follow because of that drinking mates. bad influences around,peer pressure so on and so forth.Glad he's not smoking either so it lessen the problems.
So,early morning tomorrow after breakfast, my Dad will bring him to the doctor again..im wishing him luck..wish he can fully recover so soon.
