night-watch duty

my oldest brother after one night in the hospital got sick himself..he's kinda useless in this thing. he's the type that can't be late when it's meal time and early night-early riser type of guy, not necessarily a bad thing..he's just built that way.

my sister inlaw' first & second night in the ICu, my second older brother who stayed behind just in case a family member wass needed. he scolded my mom & aunt who was trying to stayed up in the hospital, so instead he stayed and they took over just before dawn.

after ICU, it was Sunday and since my brother is still going to work the next day, i said i'll stayed since i'm already free of college duty.

so last night was second night sleeping at the hospital, wasn't really bad, just kinda cold when dawn came and as i came there to watch over her, didn't really truly 'sleep'. I woke up even for the slightest sound, in case it was her wanting something. i even amazed myself that i did woke up and alert to the slightest noise.

update on mbak Panti; it was her heart that got stiched up, but it was her lungs that didn't work properly which was why she spent an extra night at the ICU and up until this morning when i got back home, there's still a tube connected to her side which function as an extractor/ pulled out excess liquid from her lung. this morning she got an X-ray, if the result is okay then she can be off that tube which gave her a lot of pain.

and there's also another smaller tube to her upper right chest (which looked horrible bytheway; meaning it looked it gave you so much pain...) but sometimes it was used sometimes not like yesterday when she still need blood transfusion because her 'HB' is still low. but she's off the oxigen.
she's still in a lot of pain, even to sit up took a lot out of her, and the antibiotic made her feel like vomiting.
I hope she'll get well soon.


and just in case i didn't get the chance to say it personally to you, let me say it now with the same heartful best wishes,

Your birth, O Christ our God, dawned the light of knowledge upon the earth. For by Your birth those who adored stars, were taught by a star, to worship You, the Sun of Justice and to know You, Orient from on High. O Lord, glory to You.
