Though not well but still as sweet in front of the camera.It's long story & I'll cut it real short.
We were suppose to travel back to Ipoh on 31 Dec evening. Faith was feeling warm, so we measured her with a thermometer - a mercury thermometer. We put it under her tongue as usual, but this time she decided to bite it. So, thermometer broke, mercury was out. Faith spitted most of glass pieces & mercury out.
To be sure, we took her to hospital. Took few xray, yes mercury is in her body. So, she got admitted & stayed until 2 Jan 2010.
Faith was an amazing little girl, praise God. Usually, any kids would cry the house down with needles. But Faith is an unusual girl, she actually looked at the nurse as the needle (IV) going into her little hand. Few drops of quiet tears concludes the procedure while I couldn't even stand looking at the IV needle going into her hand. Usually kids would scream & cry when need to take medication but Faith takes them as if medicines are like sweets. We never had any problems with giving her medicines since she was a little baby, thank God.
We needed few days to make sure all mercury is pass out of Faith's body with her poopoo. It was tough as she lost her appetite due to flu & cough. But it was all out when an xray on friday confirms it. Thank God!
So here are her xrays.
On 31 Dec 2009, see the little white dots? Those are mercury in Faith's stomach.
