My Baby Got Pneumonia and Tips for Moms When Your Baby Hospitalized

Hi Guys


It's been a rough week for me and my husband.
My baby got pneumonia and had to be hospitalized for a couple of days.
On my last blog was about my baby's adaptation ability and unfortunately it still difficult for her to adapt living in Jakarta; the weather, the pollution, the virus, etc.
I will flashback how she finally had to be hospitalized.




20th October 2017, Friday: She got fever 38 celsius and couldn't sleep well.
21st October 2017, Saturday: We went to RS. Puri Cinere and the doctor gave her some medicine for her flu and cough. Although it was not antibiotics. (because it was still early stage for baby to get antibiotic)
23rd October 2017, Monday: She was not even getting better, we went to RS. Puri Cinere and met another doctor. Then, the doctor gave her antibiotics. However, she was getting better. 
28th October 2017, Friday: She got a fever again and couldn't sleep well.
29th October 2017, Saturday: We went to the hospital in the morning around 9 am and met Dr. Sandra (Pedriatic). She said that she has a very bad cough, she needs to check her blood. Then we back to home and wait until Dr. called us and report the result. Therefore, around 4 pm, Dr. Sandra called and said that Nina needs to be hospitalized soon. The blood test result represents the leukosis rate level are more than 20.000 which means that an inflammation.


My baby was hospitalized for 4 days, and I always beside her. It was so tired moment and so sad. I couldn't stand to see her got injected or other medical treatments. I know it was hurt because I ever felt that. At the first night in the hospital, she can through it well, although, I know she felt uncomfortable because of the infusion. And at the second day, she took off the infusion for three times. the first infusion in on her left hand and she couldn't stand it. The second infusion was on her leg, then she took it off again which made her blood flowing everywhere. The last infusion was on her left hand again and it could last for a day, although at the end it made her hand swollen.😭😭😭😭😭


All in all are the infusion install process was so not easy, my baby cried so loud. I believe that she has a big trauma because of that. (Soalnya pas uda di rumah, pas mau digantiin popok sm mba yg pake baju suster warna ijo nangisnya ngejer banget sampe segegukan. mungkin dikiranya suster yg dirumah sakit kali ya dan itu adalah pertama kali nina nangis sampe segugukan bisanya dia happy baby.) Finally on Tuesday, she back home. Although she still needs antibiotics and Nebulizer to relieve a cough until now.

Actually, I want to cry when saw my baby had to be hospitalized. But my husband told me if I can't stand and show her my sorrow then my baby will be stressed. So I tried hard to keep it by myself. However, I was so grumpy to my husband along the day. Fortunately, he understands that I was so grumpy because I was tired of taking her my baby and needs to relieve my emotions.

Tips for me if you have to accompany your baby who need to be hospitalized are:
1. Don't show your sadness, be tough. If you want to cry, go to the bathroom.
2. Eat well, because I'm still breastfeeding so I can't drink or eat any food. I always drink honey, fruits, and Milk. Also, we need to eat healthy as much as we can. Because of the only food that our baby loves and feel comfortable is our breastfeeding.
3. Sleep as much as we can, I know when your baby sick. she only needs her/his mother. It caused us have lack of sleep in the night. But we can coordinate with our husband or partner to taking care the baby in the daylight so we can sleep in the morning or noon for at least two hours. Mother always has night shift!haha
4. Take a shower, we need to recharge our energy and spread the positivity to your baby. So yes we need to clean yourself because it made us feel fresh.
5. PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY. Actually, pray is the most important part. It made us feel calm and be positive.


So hopefully my tips are useful.  Please don't feel alone, share your thought to someone else. It will prevent you from depression. Become a new mom was not easy but when you enjoy it. You'll feel what I feel which I can't describe it well. It feels like a pure love that very honest feeling. Believe me, I more love my baby than my husband. (Uppsss sorry but it's true)



Thank you

Regards
UKT

However, I never thought that I could teach parents how to swim safely with their babies.
