September

Bombom was admitted to the hospital last Friday due to an asthma attack. Let me just say that I have never had a pleasant experience with hospital service.

We were supposed to bring him to MCI because they already have his record but since their service sucked big time, we decided to take him to SDMC.

Unpleasant experiences detailed below:

-staff not having the common courtesy of knocking before entering the room

-staff not informing us of what they were doing to Bombom and what they were injecting into his bloodstream (which is so against Nursing Ethics)

-staff not informing me that the IV fell, causing Bombom's blood to flow into the tube (which is a big no-no), causing the butterfly needle to be blocked by a blood clot, causing Bombom to be wheeled back into the E.R., causing the stupid nurse to force a new needle into his vein (which obviously is not working since she was unable to insert the needle in the vein which caused instant maga to my son's hand), causing another needle to be inserted to the (thank God) correct vein.

I just cannot understand why the stupid nurse was insisting on inserting the needle on a vein which was not at all visible when all of us in the E.R. can see another vein which was very visible!

Beb was not with me during this time. He's somewhere in Cabuyao on duty. Which totally sucks! We won't be together on the 4th (our third anniversary and most probably our last anniversary together before I leave for the States) and on the 2nd (Bombom's fifth birthday). We were also not together last September 21 (Beb's birthday). Aaargh!

I miss my husband sooo much! Come home na Beb...
