I received messages from my youngest sister inquiring whose Medisave should she use to admit a patient. Without doubt I know that my beloved mom will be admitted. I told my youngest to inform the staff that I will filled up the admission form when I reached hospital.
I get my youngest sister to bring mum straight to TTSH A&E when realizing mum's leg swell and redness on the amputated toe.
Knowing that mum been admitted, I took a time off from work and rushed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. After meeting mum, she requested all of us to go home and not to worry about her as she will be just fine.
I just reached home when the hospital renal doctor, Dr Teo called to update mum condition. She explained that mum has to be admitted due to both of her kidneys fail. Due to kidneys failure it unable to flush out the liquids in her body. This has caused both legs and arm swollen. The x-ray also shown that water accumulated to her lungs and the toxic level in her body high too.
Doctor mentioned should she not go through dialysis, her life span is only 6 months depend on her physical condition. I believed anyone received such calls will breakdown to tears. She did informed that mum was not keen to go through dialysis. She advised us (family) to convince mum to go through dialysis as this will help improve her health condition.
I shared the news with my sisters and all started to shed tears. Nevertheless, we have to be strong to convince her to go through dialysis.
