Thank God It's Over!

God is good!
DD's episode of blood testing and check-ups has came to an end yesterday.
Doctor concluded that it was a viral fever after all. (Darn u, stubborn virus!)
The paed told us that there is a current viral outbreak and is affecting a lot of children and adults. However, prolonged fever will be treated as possible Dengue until platelet counts shows otherwise. Even dengue test can be misleading.
Her platelet level is back to normal range. NO DENGUE! NO MORE ANTICIPATION that makes you sick to the stomach while waiting for results.
It's always a scare whenever DD has fever. The last time she had one, it was the dreadful H1N1 and before that, it was Dengue. I only pray that after all these hits, she grows stronger everyday and that she had build up her immunity against this life-taking diseases.

I couldn't believe how strong my little DD is...In just one week, she had 6 finger pricks for blood tests, 1 stool test and 1 urine test. On top of that, she was given 2 different types of antibiotics, 3 different types of fever medication, 1 for diarrhoea and 1 probiotics. After her 3rd or 4th blood test, she held up her finger to the lab techinician and told her "Kakak, this finger please today". Never had to force feed her medication either...I'm so proud of my baby girl.
God was with us the whole time. Without Him, I would not have any source of hope. So, thank you Jesus for being our healer. All praise and honour belongs to Him, our Lord Jesus.

Extra: Apparently, Crab soup is a good way of increasing platelet counts. DD had that the night before her platelet count went up. Must thank the nurses that told me that!
Also heard that papaya leaf juice (kinda yucky actually) and kurma(dates) juice are also good for platelets. Wanna thank all my friends and family members that have shared this piece of information with me. Thank you guys!!! XXOO
