Day 8: I have an infection

Today is one of those bad days. In the morning I was feeling low on oxygen. Other indicators were not good as well and then I stopped breathing. I have to be put on the ventilator. You know ventilator is one of those machines that help you breathe. In my mom's womb I wasn't used to breathing, I got all my oxygen from my mom's blood so breathing is a new chore for me. They say I have to do it all the time, rest of my life. But from time to time I forget to breathe and today was one of those days. I was low on energy. Doctor is saying I might have some infection. The medical staff taking care of me decided to move me to the hot room. Hot room is not a room with high temperature as you may think from name but it is a room where they look after me even more intensively.
Before moving me to the hot room they called my mom and dad. And that phone call must have got them worried as they reached to me within the next hour. Their face looked very concerned. moment they entered the room after washing their hands, the doctor went to them to update them on my condition. They seemed very concerned. by the time doctor has ended his update both have their eyes wet. While dad went away to quite room to wipe his tears, mom was besides me trying to control herself but tears were flowing down her cheeks. Then dad came and consoled her.
Now they looked at me with a worrisome look and talked to me, how I was and how concerned they are about me. I wasn't moving much. Doctor had told them that it was due to morphine drug doctor had given. He explained that it was necessary as putting the ventilator tube would have been discomforting for me. Morphine will have some affect on me for few hours.
Then mom reminded my dad to do Sukhmani Saheb path besides me. Dad got the guttka and started reading the path, mom listened. I was also listening to the path through the open window at the side of my bed.
Then nurse came to administer me caffeine injection, which my equivalent of tea or coffee, that is what nurse had told to my mom and dad. Now I had started moving my legs. I was moving one of my legs more that the other and this got my mom worried as this leg was also very red. She called the doctor who comforted her by saying nothing was wrong.
A chest X-ray was also done and the results were told to my parents. Doctor said nothing wrong he can see there. But still he thinks the reason for me stopping breathing most probably is an infection. They had also taken some blood samples, results from which will come in 48 hours. My blood sugar has gone up which also is a secondary evidence that i had an infection. He says they have put me on antibiotics already in case it is an infection. They have stopped my milk supply which was so yummy and now put me on TPN.
After few hours as I was feeling little better and moving. Doctor told my mom and dad that I was better than before. Seeing me better and the time was to collect my sister from school as they told me, they went. They promised to come back in the evening.
