So here we are again, at the ER. I don’t know if this has something to do with the increased number of lymph nodes or this is an entirely different thing.

Twin A has been vomiting and having diarrhea the entire day. This morning she said she was fine after she vomited and pooped and took Loperamide for her diarrhea. She didn’t tell me she was vomiting the whole day in school, afraid that I will pull her out.

She said three of her classmates also had the same symptoms. They were vomiting either last night or today. We’re tracing if it’s something they all ate in school or there’s a stomach bug going around.

Oh God, I hope this is just another bacterial or viral infection. Not the one I fear most. 😭

We’re now in an isolation room in the ER because my patient is immunocompromised. It’s better now we face these things than later when I’m already in HK. 😢

So Ok since all we do here in the ER is wait (for blood tests, urinalysis and fecalysis), might as well update this entry.

I finally was able to finish the article this afternoon without going out of my house. But I felt the walls closing in on me so I decided to try that co-working space just outside the university campus.

I ordered from their menu, which allowed me an hour of hot desking. If I don’t order, I just pay PhP 60. So that is a little under PHP 500 for 8 hrs, which was the rate of independent or small co-working spaces in Metro Manila. I said was because you can no longer find such low rate in the metro—inflation is such a killer.

I was just getting into the groove when my daughters messaged me that Twin A is still vomiting. I xould no longer extend my stay.

Just when she needed to poop, she can’t. We need the fecalysis so we can have some kind of diagnosis. Her CBC doesn’t tell much since her TB infection does skew things a little bit.

Aggghhh! I don’t want to be in the hospital again. 😩

Nope. No poop.

Urinalysis is clean.

Will be sent home with domperidone for stomach contractions. Fecalysis to follow as OPD.

I’m tired.
