Morning 1 - Friday, 8th January 2010
1. On the day Huzaifah turned 4 years and 4 months old, he had to be taken to the Emergency department of Hospital Putrajaya - to get quick relief treatment for asthma. It's been a long while, and the attack took us by surprise.
2. Tried to think up what could have been the cause that trigger this attack - for an asthmatic child, Huzaifah could eat ice-cream, watermelon, stand cold weather better than many of his peers and keep being physically active even when he's asthmatic. The big no-no for him is dust - that's why back when we were in Japan, Huzaifah usually got his asthma attack during summer- when it was dusty, instead of in winter like feared by many others.
3. Now that he's four, Huzaifah is more receptive to putting on the gas mask in the asthma bay in the hospital. Very unlike how he used to struggle and fight against us (me, hubby, the nurse or anybody nearby who would give us a helping hand) to put the gas mask on him. My guess is, Faizly can still recall the time he helped me out with this particular task at the hospital during summer 2008... Yes dear, that evening when I was 'disappointed' that the doctor who attended to Huzaifah was not the kakkoi one... (Sabar jelah, kan?)
4. My eldest's condition was so severe that Friday morning that he had to use up two doses. After he finished the first round of 'gas', he was checked by a doctor and immediately prescribed another round of gas treatment. Poor boy, but I was proud to note that he did not make a fuss at all - because he's big enough now to know that it is only for his own good. Oh, how quickly they grow up!
5. As if that was not enough, when I returned home that evening, Humaidi started showing symptoms of asthma too. I gave him 3ml of Salbutamol, hoping that it will help preventing it from getting worse. Happened that we have to send Mira, my Mak's helper to Sungai Way that night for her day(s) off. When we returned from PJ, Humaidi looked better.

anak i asma gak yg 1.5 year tu da 2 kali admitted now i give him sereptide (preventive medication ) on a few days basis- by right daily but i dont want him to depend on him even the dr said ok- and when he start coughing i give him ventolin inhaler as well- - i use chamber terowong during his sleep - because bila dia awake dia memang tak suka that mask or pekup tu- so far alhamdulillah - and last 2 attack i contorl sendiri i just buy the nebuliser cecair tu and get my untie old machine-
u are a strong lady Haida- you can face all this - insyaAllah
ermayum: huzaifah pernah admitted masa baby dulu je sekali. all three of them ada asthma tapi amat jarang kena (4-6 bulan sekali)sebab tu agaknya doktor pun takde prescribekan ubat selain drpd salbutamol. saya dulu mmg sentiasa ada ventolin standby, tapi alhamdulillah, dah berzaman tak kena asthma...
cumanya kesian huzaifah sebab dia ada eczema yang related to asthma, habis gatal-gatal satu badan. adik2 dia alhamdulillah ok pula...
