Nose Bleed!

It's strange how fast events can take a turn...from joyful celebration to intense anxiety...

At 1215am, an hour after we blogged our last entry - Jo complained of bleeding in her right nostril. I thought this was quite normal and we tried to suppress it by tilting her head and drinking fluids etc etc. We barely had 2 hours of sleep when she woke me at 230am saying that the bleeding wasn't stopping.

We immediately knew that she once again would have to be admitted to A&E at SGH for a quick check up. We packed quickly and set off. She was ushered into the Triage where a nurse took down the details of the symptoms. About 10 mins later she was whisked into the A&E room for assessment. I waited for awhile and then walked in to find out how she was. The doctors had managed to suppress the bleeding by then, thank God! They had put an ice pack and got her to pinch her nose continuously to ensure the blood clot. She had blood extracted for a test too.

At 4am she was moved to the Observation Ward to be observed till about 7am. All was fine so far and no further bleeding occured. Amen! Doc subsequently discharged her and said that the blood test proved negative for anaemia symptoms.

We'll need to make an appointment to see Dr Yeak, her ENT specialist at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) sometime either Monday or Tuesday to ensure this is nothing serious.

It's 945am now. She's fast asleep and exhausted.

It all happened so so fast...

Lord please watch over her, heal her and restore her. Let this not be anything serious.
