Black Saturday

Morning we brought Png Png to polyclinic to test his bilirubin level. Stupid polyclinic doesn't allow jumping queue for new born if not consulting Dr there

We brought the blood test results to PD Sim's clinic. We knew that Png Png will be admitted for the level of bilirubin indicated in the test results. Chen Chen can't understand why we wanna send Png Png to hospital. He snatched the blood test results to throw away so that Png Png won't go to hospital, demostrating his protection over Png Png

PD Sim wrote a letter to PD Ong in TMC to examine the purplish spots and do a blood test as there were more purplish spots The spots could mean internal bleeding.

Png Png was admitted to TMC for light therapy for jaundice.

In late evening, we received a call from PD Ong to transfer Png Png to KKH A&E as Png Png's platelet level was very low at 19 where normal range is 150 - 400

In emergency ward, Png Png was poked here and there, drew blood but he didn't cry much. Worse was he stopped breathing twice. I thought I will loss him

Png Png was sent for CT scanning when we did admission for him

Nurse from A&E told us to go ICU to look for Png Png but we couldn't find him there. Lucky a Dr Lee in ICU helped us to check various wards to find out that Png Png was in high dependency ward
