A week has passed…. Today Nico needs to go to the hospital to remove the stitches. Mummy feels so bad that I cannot be there for him. Hope everything went smoothly for Nico. Now with an extra scar above the right eye, this makes Nico a more macho baby boy already!
Date: 8 July 2013
Around 11pm, we received a call from FIL. He made the call from the hospital. He informed us that Nico knocked on a table and cried so hard. It was quite a long cut and lost some blood. He sent Nico to hospital for immediate treatment but the nurses at the emergency ward there insisted to stitch up the cut for Nico. My PIL couldn't decide on this and they called us to ask for our opinions. After some explanations from the nurse, they cleaned up the wound for Nico and then Nico was back to house for resting.
We decided to travel back to Taiping to see Nico's conditions. Since we are heading back home, so PIL decided to let us bring Nico back to the hospital on the next day ourselves to seek the advice from the doctor whether to stitch up the wound or not.
I wanted to go back on the night itself, but Hubby wouldn't let. It was already so late and even we travelled back on the spot also couldn't do anything at all. He said might as well let Nico rested a night after a big cry!
So early the next morning, after woke up Kimi, we drove back to Taiping. When we reached, Nico was still sleeping. He heard our voices and jumped out from his bed. Seeing him running out from the bedroom with a plaster stick on his eye and some blood stains on it, IT REALLY HURT ME! So, so, so, HEARTACHE! I hold back my tears while I hug Nico on my arms. After changed him, we sent him to the hospital. He needed to fast for 6 hours before going in for the stitch. MIL fed him around 7am that morning. He was scheduled to be in the operation theatre at 1pm.
After consulting the doctor and made the necessary admission procedures, we waited in the ward. Nico was still as active. Ran in and out while waiting for his turns.
At 1pm, Mummy accompanied Nico to go into the operation theatre. It was such an eye opening for me. The room was so much equipped compare my delivery ward last time. Two doctors and I think four nurses were in there. One doctor was for the stitching and one was the anesthetist. After stayed a while with Nico in the operation theatre, I was called to go outside to wait for him.
With a heavy heart, I left Nico with the doctors and nurses in the room. It was quite a quick procedure. I think not even half an hour (perhaps 15 mins or so), I could hear Nico's crying out loud from outside, and then followed by doctor appearance to inform me that everything was just fine. The wound was quite a long one, so he did 5 stitches for Nico. I think the anesthetic that they put on Nico was a very mild one. He woke up immediately after the stitch procedure was done. He cried so loud for a long time, perhaps because of the pain, or maybe he was too hungry. After settled him down, we went back to the ward for Nico to rest.
A day which looked like a nightmare to me seemed to be better after Nico stood up to play again with Kimi in the hospital. Thank God that he almost forgot about his pains on the right eye and can be back to his usual naughty and active mode again!
Nico back @ home ~
