Mommy Is Sick...

Mommy has been coughing badly for more than a month. Poor Lil' Baby in Mommy's tummy must be bumping around inside...must be so uncomfy!

Mommy decided to visit another doctor this morning for her cough and breathlessness. After the doctor examined Mommy, she asked Daddy to send Mommy to the hospital immediately. Sheesh...we didn't know what the problem was but it must be pretty serious for the Doctor to refer Mommy to A&E.

So off they went to the hospital...and Mommy was hospitalized for the whole week...

It was difficult to diagnose the problem as Mommy is pregnant and cannot do almost all scans and x-ray. But the doctors managed to do an ultrasound and found out that Mommy's right lung was 3/4 filled with fluid i.e. approximately TWO LITRES of fluid! No wonder Mommy has been so breathless! The doctors drew out the fluid from Mommy and carried out tests on the fluid...and after much ding-a-dong...the doctors told Mommy that she has LYMPHOMA...*sob*...
