Our trip to java part 2; nights @ the hospital

Aku tidak menyangka anakku harus masuk rumah sakit.  Dia sakit typus ringan.  Awalnya dia demam selama 3 hari berturut-turut.  Aku beri obat penurun panas namun hingga hari ke 3 demamnya masih muncul hingga kami memutuskan untuk periksa ke dokter anak terdekat hari itu juga.  Dokter mengatakan perlu tes lebih lanjut untuk mengetahui sakit apa.  Kami diberi resep obat antibiotik, obat batuk (karena Rakhma agak batuk sedikit), Vitamin (karena menolak untuk makan hanya minum ASI) dan puyer untuk menurunkan panas.  Dokter juga mengatakan jika panasnya masih muncul, kami di minta untuk periksa kembali.  Dan benar hingga hari ke-5, demamnya belum juga turun dan keesokan harinya kami pergi ke dokter dan oleh dokter Rakhma harus menjalani rawat inap di Rumah Sakit Umum untuk mendapatkan terapi infus karena badannya panas tanda kurang air (dehidrasi).

Jujur saja, saya dan suami awalnya sempat ragu-ragu untuk membawa anak kami ke RSU, tapi berhubung kami juga tidak punya pilihan lain, kami tetap memberanikan diri.  Kami langsung menuju UGD dan langsung booking kamar.  Kami mendapatkan kamar kelas 1C karena hanya kamar tersebut yang masih kosong.  Diluar perkiraan kami, ternyata yang dimaksud kelas 1 tidak seperti yang kami bayangkan yaitu 1 kamar 1 pasien.  Namun satu kamar di isi oleh 4 pasien. Sebelum kami memasuki kamar tersebut, Rakhma mendapatkan infus di Ruang UGD saat itu juga.  Sempat ngeri juga membayangkan jarum suntik di masukkan ke pergelangan tangannya.  Mungkin karena Rakhma sudah lemas jadi dia pasrah saja di utak-atik tangannya oleh tim suster.

Setelah itu, kami langsung menuju bangsal anak tempat Rakhma di opname.  Di kamar tersebut ada 2 balita dan 1 anak laki-laki berumur 11 tahun yang juga di rawat.  Rakhma merupakan pasien terbaru yang masuk ke kamar tersebut.  Kami mencoba menikmati ruang baru kami tersebut dan berkenalan dengan pasien yang satu kamar dengan kami.  Aku sendiri tidak bisa memikirkan hal lain selain kesembuhan Rakhma, sehingga hingga hari terakhir pasien yang tersisa hanya Rakhma sedang yang lainnya sudah pindah ke kamar yang lebih baik (1 kamar, 1 pasien).  Kalau malam di bangsal anak, tangisan anak selalu terdengar baik siang maupun malam.  Di koridor bangsal selalu ada ibu menggendong anaknya yang rewel karena menahan sakit.  Aku juga harus terbiasa melihat anakku terbujur di kamar sambil tanggannya terikat oleh Infus.  Betul-betul pemandangan yang tidak terbayangkan untuk liburan kami di Salatiga.

Pada hari ke 5 di hospital, kondisi Rakhma membaik.  Dan pada hari ke-6 Rakhma di ijinkan untuk pulang oleh Dokter.   Dari pengalamanku ini, aku bisa mengambil pelajaran, kalau;
  1. Typus merupakan penyakit yang menyerang pencernaan yaitu bagian usus halus dikarenakan makanan yang tidak higienis dan makan yang kurang teratur
  2. Rakhma sakit tyfus karena kesalahanku kurang memperhatikan asupan makannya.  Selama liburan ini Rakhma sering bepergian sementara dia hanya minum ASI dan makannya pun susah.  Setelah di beri vitamin oleh dokter, baru nafsu makannya mulai membaik.
  3. Hampir setelah imunisasi Rakhma sudah komplet, aku sudah jarang ke dokter anak untuk cek berat-badannya.  Padahal itu penting untuk mengetahui perkembangan anak normal / tidak.  Asal tahu saja berat badan anakku saat sakit waktu itu hanya 9 kilogram !! Sedangkan berat badan normal untuk usia  tahun paling tidak 9.9 kilogram.
  4. Anakku type anak yang susaaah sekali di beri obat.  Baru setelah di ganti sendoknya dengan pipet, Rakhma baru mau minum obat sedikit-sedikit.
Sekarang, anakku sudah sembuh dan ceria seperti biasanya.  Setelah kejadian itu, aku lebih memperhatikan asupan makannya dan memperhatikan tidurnya dalam arti tidak keasikan maen dengan teman-temanya hingga dia lupa makan dan minum.

Karena harus di rawat di RSU selama seminggu, kepulanganku ke Timika pada tanggal 24 Maret kemaren tertunda hingga tanggal 14 April mendatang.

Our Trip to Java part 1


My hubby got his job leave for 3 weeks this March.  As usual we visited both our parents and relatives.  We visited my hubby’s house first at Solo since the location is near with Ahmad Yani Airport about 20 minutes by taxi.
We departed from Mozes Kilangin Airport, Timika on March 03, 2010 at 2.00 WIT (east Indonesia time) for 2.5 hours and then transit for 25 minutes at Sultan Hasanudin Airport, Makasar, South Sulawesi.  You know I fell in love with Ree Drummo blog especially the photography section since on I always carry my camera with me and try to find good spot to take picture.  Here are the results;

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA






















This This picture taken at Mozes Kilangin Airport, Timika.  I brought the Origami Paper on my luggage since I little worry my daughter might bored at the Plane.   I little too worry but I guess I might be right coz you see…she played the Origami Paper thought not in the Plane but at the Airport. I like the contrast color between the floor and the Origami Papers.

I got the Plane but loose the building.  See…



Finally, we arrived at Ahmad Yani Airport, Solo at 18.00 PM WIB (west Indonesia time) with safe and sound.

By the way, I write this blog post using Windows Live Writer.  With this tool you can write your blog post without internet connection.  The editor also richer than using blogger editor.  God, Why I did not know it a long time ago??? I really love this writer.  Cannot wait if I can post it.
This trip is not over yet, will see you with another writings….

Koguma, The series by Ken Wakayama

 

What I like from this book are the simple stories and the book format, one page containing picture and the story goes on the next pages.  It is a perfect book for 2 years old toddler like my daughter.  She likes the story, Koguma Bermain Bola (Koguma plays foot ball) and Koguma Bermain Balon (Koguma plays Ballons).  She knows football and balloon, that is why it seem she understands the story.  This book first published in 1994 and I still hope that this book still sold on the book store, so that I can buy one for my daughter.  By the way, I borrowed this book on library yesterday.

So do you think I need a nanny?

'Survive without nanny' is my blog tag-line.  Why? Because for one or more reason, I wish I could hire a nanny and the other is because I strongly believe a new mother like me need a helping hand.   

  1. It is so overwhelmed to become a mother.  I mean 'we' should do multitasking job like cooking, cleaning, child rearing, laundry, not to mention when our child try to get our attention.  
  2. With 24/7 working day, it is somehow a big hand if I could hire a nanny, maybe if I cook, she is the one who will take care of my daughter :).  Rakhma, my lovely daughter, she will 2 years old next March.  She is in explore and find new friend stages.  She really like having new friend and not afraid of strange people. Somehow, she is more like hang out with her buddy rather than me.  But, you cannot leave 2 years old without adult supervision, right?  So, here I am.  Split between my to-do list and supervise her.
  3. I will have more time for my self, definitely. My last time I walked alone was when I got pregnant.  I really miss that episode.
  4. I could go to mall more freely, like try new outfits.  It is impossible to try those one if you bring your child  at the mall. She thinks mall is new place for exploration.
  5. H..h...h...finally I can breathe for a moment and share my 'wishes'.
I ever had a house helper, but she stands only 3 weeks.  Poor me.  Basically, her job was clean the dishes and cooks for us.  The reason she was 'out' was she had another job that made her physically tired so she decided the leave her job with me. After then, I am pretty lazy to find her replacement.  Sigh.

So why not hire a nanny?

First and last because you have to pay them at least IDR 500.000,- per month.  It is a big bug for our family.  I just don't think it is good for our finance. I guess we 'survive' without nanny....

Origami for Mommy

Its been a while, I am not updating this blog. Huh , I have been really busy writing for my other blog; timikaunique and my new green blog; greenbagind.blogspot.com and hey, I am tweet too!.  Mostly green tips tweet.

I like Origami since I was high school because at that time my niece was taken care by her grandmas, which is my mother, while her mother works.  As an aunt, I like to play anything with her, from story telling, morning walking and Origami.  You can say, I was her baby sitter at that time.  Now, my niece already grown up and she is already in third grader. 

My daughter though don't understand each time I am doing Origami, but it is a great way as alternative toys for children.  Don't you think ?  I enjoy doing it too.  Yesterday, while I surfed on net and found good origami website origami Mommy and promise I will make it with my daughter from now on.   The photos is so cute and it seem its pretty easy to do.



Happy Origami!
