Nose Bleed ER Visit

I’ve been having several nose bleeds this month and this episode landed me in the ER at 1am in the morning.  It started at 11:30pm when I stepped out of the shower.  All of a sudden, my nose started bleeding non-stop.  I debated whether to wait just a bit longer and maybe it’ll stop bleeding on its own.  But after 2 hours, I decided to go to the ER.

I sat at the ER for 3 hours.  And of course, when the physician came to see me, my nosebleed stopped already.  And he couldn’t see the location where it was bleeding.  He will refer me to see en ENT specialist and go from there.

Jan. 2 - nose bleed for 1 hr and 30mins

Jan. 15 - nose bleed for 1 hr and 40mins

Jan. 26 - nose bleed for 2 hours, ER

Daddy’s Birthday

It’s an important day today.  A very important Daddy is celebrating his birthday today.  Sadly, it’s a week day and work day so it was quite busy.  We ordered yummy sushi for dinner and had mango cake.  

We will love you to pieces Daddy!  Wishing you a happy and successful year this year filled with promotions, good health and vacations!

Little J Is Going Home!

Little Josh is finally well enough to go home, after being in and out of hospital since December 31.  Yay!  What a relief.  His appendix was removed successfully via laparoscopic appendectomy.  Hoping he will make a full recovery over the next couple of weeks.  

Even though the surgery was successful, it wasn’t without hiccups.  Because Josh’s condition was borderline for surgery, the physician suggested trying medication first instead of surgery.  So Josh was sent home on Jan. 1st evening with meds but it didn’t work.  Josh was in so much pain the next day, we went back to the ER on Jan. 2nd.  He was admitted immediately and scheduled for surgery that night.

Working at the BC Children’s Hospital, this is the first time being in the operating room on a personal basis.  The experience was excellent and completely caters to how the children would feel.  As the Mother, I was beside Josh the entire time when he was awake and only leaving him in the OR after he’s fallen asleep for the surgery.  I’m just happy that he can finally go home.  Love you baby!
