Mum out of hospital

Alhamdulillah my mother who was diagnosed with acute on chronic renal failure, which was exacerbated by recurrent urinary rtract infections has come out of HUKM. while in the ward she had an intermittent peritoneal dialysis to reduce her escalating urea level which had amounted to 40 mmol, had also 3 pines of packed cell transfusion which had brought up her Hb level from 6.6 g/dl to 11.1 g/dl. her blood sugar which was at a critical level of 28 mmol also came down to 13 mmol. thank you very much to Datin Norella Kong, Dr Adam and Dr Shahada of wad 3 and all the caring staff for taking care of my mum while she was being admitted.

the week after she was home, the house was visited by all her neighbours, children and grandchildren non-stop.
