Fw: Wrong method all this while !!

Assalamualaikum,

Pagi ni rasa kecewa. Why? Baru hari ni tahu, lepas tanya student pharmacist, tentang cara-cara nak ambil ubat Omeprazole. Ubat ni doktor prescribe untuk Afiq sejak dari kecil lagi untuk masalah clinical GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease, atau bahasa kampungnya, jeluok susu), rasanya sebelum umur dia cukup sebulan.

All this while, misi suruh (tapi tak pernah pulak confirm dengan doktor) beri ubat ni sekali dengan susu. So, this instruction, we follow to the dot. And Afiq continued to reflux ('jeluok'). And then doctor increased the dosage. And Afiq still refluxed.

This morning, I was informed that this medicine should be taken at least 30 minutes before food. And when I googled the info on omeprazole, I found that the function and performance of omeprazole will be greatly impaired if the medicine is consumed with food in the stomach.

Wow!! So, all this while, we have been giving the medicine in incorrect method! So, okay, starting today, we will change to the correct method and see Afiq's performance. Thank you Izzati for the information.

Now, to think of all those experts (are they really experts?) in nursing (nurse, sister), pharmacy (regsitered pharmacist, PRP) and medical (HO, MO, doktor pakar, HOD paediatric), who gave me WRONG INFORMATION or who are negligence by not confirming that the parents comply to the correct method. The way I see it, negligence can be in 2 ways -

1) do it the wrong way, or inform others to do it the wrong way

2) does not do it (i.e. do nothing).

 

I'll update the status of Afiq using the correct method after 3 days

 

Wassalam.

Update status on Afiq

Assalamualaikum,

Sudah sebulan tak update blog berkenaan Afiq. Ada banyak perkara yang berlaku. Ada masalah yang tak masih tak sette. Letih!! Detail masalah/perkara/etc akan di update kemudian dalam blog ni.

Bagaimanapun, terima kasih kepada yang sudi visit blog ni. Dalam sebulan (sebulan yang tak update blog ni la), bila tengok kepada counter, sudah ada 200+ visits.

I'll try to update the blog at least starting from next week. Maybe on weekly basis.

 

Next week, 25th Jan, is date for Kimi's appointment with ENT dept at HKB. After that, I have to get appointment date for Afiq as well. Hopefully Kimi's problem of speech delay can be resolved starting from this visit. Cannot imagine him starting school (primary school) in 2014, but cannot express himself to the teachers and friends. Would be devastating. Although he is 'socially' still behind others, technically (academic wise) he is way in front of others. He's started to figure out reading simple words. Words that I or Ain have not taught him before. Imagine the joy when he's started reading some words in newspaper or magazine.

 

Wassalam.
