Dengue - Jas Discharged

On Wed, Jas blood count went down to 76K and the GP referred him to be hospitalised for closer observation.

We chose to be admitted to A&E in Mt E as he went to Mt E for his right knee ACL reconstruction surgery last Sept.



His blood count dropped to  66K on Thu but crept up to 93K on Fri so he was discharged yesterday afternoon.

While he was there, the rashes became more evident and they were getting itchy too!



We are indeed very happy to be home for the coming Chinese New Year.

As reported in the papers on Thu, the outbreak is not over yet and there are now 10 dengue cases in our housing estate. NEA has issued all the houses an urgent notice on dengue awareness and the steps that we should take to manage this outbreak.

We now apply mosquito repellent and spray the house with Shelltox more often.

Anyway, we are glad that Jason is on the road to a full recovery.

So wishing all of you a HEALTHY and SAFE Chinese New Year...!
