February 19

So many things...

I wanted to update about Thursday...er no Friday ( lost track of time when I am spending so much time in hospital). I stayed there for more than 13 hours for the longest in a week. I was there practically to assist my friends and my brother's friends for blood donation. There were 10 of them who was willing to donate , however, they are not in right state to do so. It's either they were on medication, sick, drank, or just came back from oversea. All in all, two of them only donated. I find that getting donation done is not easy as well.

Well, I am really happy that there are positive response from unknown people who is willing to help out. SMS and call just came in non-stop. With all the talking, I almost lost my voice. I am trying to get in blood for my brother as soon as possible. It takes two days to process and screen the blood before it is ready to be used.

About lunch time, when I brought him food, he coughed out blood and just that moment , seeing the blood, frightens me. Tears weld up in my eyes and wiped them off just so he doesn't see it. I want to avoid unnecessary sorrow in the ward. From the look of the bloody spectrum on the tissue, I know what is coming next... draining the fluids out. It has to be done as soon as possible before further internal bleeding persist. The nurses just waited on the platelet supply and it took so long that the doctor went to check for himself. (This just show how some nurses work) After dripping 4 packs of platelet, the young doctor poke a hole on his left lung and drain out the fluid. My brother was shocked to see the blood flowing out through the tube. He thought it was clear fluid but I knew it wasn't. We kept this secret from dad....

...after waiting on him and all procedure, I got out from hospital 8.30 pm. Joined Bk and CY for japanese food.. thanks to them I got the appetite to eat. I didn't eat the whole day and seeing so much blood suppress my eating appetite.
