First Emergency

Reg had been resting well at home since chemo on Thursday, with his normal morning sickness and general tiredness. Monday night, he complaint of lower leg cramp of some sort, and Anita thought it is similar to the swelling and pain in the arm, but this time it has changed position to the lower leg and decided to just keep an eye on it.

By morning Reg was limping and expressed more pain. At first the haemotologist thought it may be poor blood circulation, but decided to schedule Reg for an ultrasound to rule out anything severe. Thankfully, they've managed to get Reg an appointment in the late afternoon. It turned out to be a blood clot and likewise it was the same in the arm. While they were waiting for the doctor's verdict, poor Jed was complaining that he was hungry. It was half past 5 and there was no time for ANita to return home to cook in peak hour traffic, so they could only quickly eat out after all the waiting around. When they got home, Anita had to quickly bath Jed and getting him ready to bed, but Reg began to complain feeling hot flushes. Next, they knew Reg had a temperature of 38.4 degrees, which means he needed to go to hospital.

There was no option, but for Reg to wait around this time until Anita had put Jed to bed. Soon they were at RNS Emergency Department. Reg was quickly sent to the inside with blood test, X-ray, and on drips of antibiotics. By 11pm, his temperature dropped back to normal, but he needed to admit into hospital for the haemotologist to see him. They are still trying to work out the kind of possible infection that Reg has, but meantime, they are also treating his blood clot. Thankfully the clot was only a minor one.

So Anita returned home exhausted after a whole day running around. She just pray that she could sleep well and get recharge, ready for another day of running around. She knew God has been with her for even though she is tending Jed and Reg at the same time, they both are good at waiting around for one another. She also knew Reg is at God's hand and only pray for his safe returning.
