PBMT - Day 188

Spending half the day in A&E at QM would surely be one of the most memorable Father's day for Papa. Adrian was all normal in the morning but suddenly ran into a fever (38C) at around 11am. We called C6 (previously K8N) and the nurse advised us to retake the temp again in an hour. The fever persisted and we were not going to give it a chance, so we decided to bring Adrian back to QM. Because it's already past office hours, we had to wait for hours at A&E before we could head right into C6 for diagnosis. After being examined by the doc, we were told that Adrian had some viral infection and his throat was a bit red (he's probably got it all from US. Sighhh!!!). So they sent Adrian to K7N - the isolation ward!! Poor Adrian cried when the doc was trying to draw blood from his arms (no more central line) for blood culture. Urine & fluids from his nose were collected for virus testing. Luckily, we were allowed to leave for home tonight but will have to be back again tomorrow at K7N!!!!
