his just happened last week, my grandmother was admitted into the hospital.
We were having afternoon tea and chatting within ourselves then when my aunt(who is there also) received a call from his son saying that my grandmother was unconscious in bed. We were shocked to hear the news and we immediately rushed down to my aunt's house.
Upon reaching, the first thing that my mum did, was rushing into the bedroom checking out my grandma's condition. It was then when we found out that she was running a high fever. We started to 'sponge' her using a bag of ice, whereas my uncle called for an ambulance to send my grandma down to SGH.
Upon reaching A&E department, my grandma was sent for an overall check-up while we were all waiting anxiously at the waiting area. It was at around 12 midnight when the doctor finally came out.
'There is a 9.6cm long stone like object at the bottom of her liver," he said "If you all are related relatives, you all are to make a choice whether to inject a solution which was to enable the scanning of her body to be much clearer, thus, diagnosing what actually the object was, but there was a 30% chance of having kidney failure after injecting" he added on. My mother and uncles were in a dilemma then whether to approve for the jab. They discussed among themselves and finally decided not to take such risk. The doctor, Mr Alexandra, said, "If she do not wish go for the jab, we will have to do further scanning to diagnose her current condition". That evening my grandma went for another scanning and we prayed hardly that it was not a tumor.
Day 2
In the morning, around 8 am, the doctor came in, telling us, "The result of last night's scanning is out. I am glad to say that the 9.6cm long stone like object is not a tumor but a past," he added "However, we still have to carry out a minor surgery to remove the past in the liver as it may burst anytime" We then had a sigh of relief.
*Update: She has been discharged from hospital today, 18th of January.*
She is currently recovering fast and is healthy.
I do not have pictures as this is unexpected and photography is prohibited in hospital.
