23th August 2007

THE DAY HAS ARRIVED...

Woke up at 5am to feed Ryan his milk... He drank 5Oz and let him sleep again.. After which, i started to prepare myself with usual routine and woke HC up to prepare and finally Ryan. Left the house at 7am, while in the car, fed Ryan with water. Throughout his journey to KKH, he was looking around.. so happy...

Supposed to reach KKH at 730am, we were late by 5 mins. Went to the Day Surgery to do registration. While waiting for your Q no, the nurses came out to ask Ryan inside the consultation room to assess him. So HC did the registration while i brought him into the room. Took his weight and ask some questions. He weighed 6kg as of 23 August 2007. After he was cleared, went on to the waiting room for the medical officer to assess him. After everything ok, we were told to wait for our schedule time. Before we could sit down the phone in the nurse counter rang and looking for Ryan Kuik... My god.. not so fast right??? So the OT nurse came and brought us up. Went into OT area.. The surgeons and nurses came and ask questions... then suddenly Ryan make a very loud noise.. AH~~~.. i thought what happen and turn around and saw the PD surgeon. Wondering if Ryan knows anything.. haha.. So i told Ryan that.. "U recognise her, do u?" Then we were brought into another room when the anaethesist came and intro himself to us and ask us questions again as Ryan had just recovered from his cough.. so he wanted to know more of Ryan's history. When everything was done, a doc came and carry Ryan and said: "Let's go ok? Alot of toys waiting for you." My blur boy smiled at the doc.. so before he went him.. i sayang him and see u later.. he smiled again.. Damned... i am so sad ok!

He went in at 850am.. so we went for our breakfast, then went to 7-11 to get some sweets and bought a piglet for Ryan.. then we quickly went up to the OT area to wait for Ryan. The time was just crawling... Then OT door opened and a nurse shouted Ryan Kuik... we quickly went there.. The surgeon is out! Timed: 945am.. The surgeon told us that she took out 2 big ones and 3 small ones and managed to clear the infected area and the 2 big ones actually break thru the skin thus the healing process will take longer and she will leave a tube there to drain out the abcess. After that the doc ask us to wait outside again as Ryan havent wake up yet.. so waited again.. another 15mins... the OT door opened again.. Ryan's mummy!! i quickly went inside.. The nurse said: "Ryan woke up liao.. crying now.. he must be hungry.. you got bring milk??" i was like.. yes.. inside the car.. so i ask HC to go get in while i was gowned up and went in to see Ryan.. Poor darling.. crying so pitiful... i almost cried out too.. He kept crying with eyes closing.. cant imagine his pain.. He is a brave boy.. managed to coax him down.. milk brought in but he doesnt want to drink.. so carried him walk around the OT recovery unit.. The medical officer was telling me that everyone was cooing over him when he went in to the OT.. he was looking around.. with curiosity and everyone in the OT loved him so much... When his BP and pressure was ok, he can go up to the ward.. HC was waiting outside.. the door opened, HC came and sayang him...

Went up to the ward, the nurses came and orientate us cos we have to stay for a day to observe.. I put Ryan down on his bed cos he was sleeping.. Due to the "happy" gas, he was sleeping most of the time.. So we quickly went for a quick lunch. We informed the nurses and went down to eat. When we come back, he was still sleeping but shortly, he opened his eyes and smiled at us.. haha.. We are happy.. at least he smiled..
