Parents Premonition

Mom and dad were here in the afternoon. They had got used to me crying for last few days. When today I was quite, they had an inkling that something was not right. Dad talked to Bashir, the registrar and told him that I was not looking well. My tummy seemed full and I looked pale. I was very quite. Doctor comforted him saying all was well with me. But fears of dad came true when in the evening he was told on phone that I was having de-sats. X-Rays showed gas in my tummy. I needed oxygen support to get my breathe back.
Task of breathing was not such a hard chore before. Now I am having frequent de-sats and needing external support to breathe. Root of all problems had been found to be a bug that grew today from blood cultures from 24th. All the antibiotics I am having may not be targeting that bug hence I will be given additional drug vancomycin. I have no energy to turn my head, to open my eyes. I dont feel like doing anything.
Mom dad concerned from the happenings of the day were with me late till 1 am this night. Doctor updated them showing the X-rays which showed gases in the abdomen. Also telling them how the cultures had grown a bug. But isn't it strange that technology of X-rays, blood cultures could only corroborate what parents can sometimes see with bare eye.
