Welcoming our baby to the world Part 3

We name him Adam Allomov

He is carrying his dad family name

After spending 3 days at home, Adam has to be warded again

I rushed him to the ER early in the morning on December 18, 2019

I found himself was breathing really fast

I'm so glad there's a paeds doctor that morning

She intubated Adam, put him to sleep and warded in NICU

He begin the journey of over a month going back and forth from home to hospital

He was not stable

Adam got pneumonia

I have no idea where he got the virus

Few day before Christmas, If I am not mistaken, it was December 22, 2019

I received a call from the NICU

Doctor wanted to see me ASAP

My heart cannot stop pounding

I went there and saw Adam was hooked to a lot of wires

I asked what happened

She said Adam's conditioned have gotten worse that morning

They found him coughing so hard until he extubated himself

I can't even imagine that

He must be in pain that time

Doctor told be be strong

I understand that kind of conversation

They just wanted me to be prepared

I left the room and shed tears on my sister's shoulder

We both crying

Everyone was looking

I can't hold the tears anymore

But, I pulled myself together and called my husband

I told him what has happened

He booked a flight and left immediately

2 days later, he arrived to see our son

Adam was still battling with the virus that time

Still hooked on wires with multiple antibiotics

On January 5th, 2020

He finally of the ventilator

Adam finally able to breath without it

Still hooked with the oxygen but at least we can hear his voice now

After over a month, Adam finally can go home

On January 20th, we brought him home with lots of follow up appointment with the doctors

But alhamdulillah we survive the hardest trial 

Welcoming our baby to the world Part 2

So let's continue the story

I made it home on November 17, 2019

Guess what day is it?

Our 3rd anniversary

I didn't get to celebrate it this time 

When I got home in Tanah Merah, Malaysia, I felt so relieved that the journey is finally done

Alhamdulillah I managed to finish my PhD while being pregnant

So the first thing that I have to do was opening "the pink book" with the local hospital

Given that they have zero knowledge about my pregnancy, my doctors from Arizona already prepared me with a bundle of papers containing all my medical records starting from my 7th week of pregnancy until 32 week

The nurses and doctors were amazed that I managed to come back

Fast forward to 2 weeks later after arriving in Malaysia

I started leaking

Alhamdulillah that I have a siste whose a doctor 

She managed to identify that something was wrong with me

They rushed me to the hospital

I have to be warded and little did I know that week will be the day that I met my son

After a week warded, doctor has to do emergency c-section on me at 34 weeks 5 days

So my baby was born premature

Here begin the horrifying experience 

After the surgery, I didn't hear my baby's crying voice

They have to rushed him to the NICU because the was breathing very fast

He got intubated and I didn't get to see him that day

They took me back to the ward for recovery and I'm so glad that I have my mom, my sister, and my friends with me

My sister and my friends work there as a doctor

They managed to go and see my baby even before me

They comfort me to not be worried and just rest

24 hours later, I get to meet my baby

He's the most beautiful baby I ever seen

Alhamdulillah for this blessing

I sit there and try my best to not cry and stay strong for him

The nurses advice me and they told me baby can actually feel their mom

They have special connection with their mom

So mom have to stay strong in order for the baby to win the battle

After 28 hours, the extubated my son

He managed to breath using the nasal oxygen 

In the third day, doctor told me that I can go home but not my baby

Now begin the journey of daily visit to the NICU

My family told me to just stay at home and they can deliver the breastmilk to the hospital but I insist to visit every single day without fail

It just give me comfort when I saw my baby

I went there every day and breastfeed him 

It didn't bother me at all that I have to sit for quiet long time even I just had surgery

I just want ti spend all my time with him

On December 15, 2019

My son was discharge from the NICU

We can finally bring him home

But little did we know, it was only for 3 days until he got warded again (T_T)
