When He Test Me


Ameen was recently discharge from hospital. He was admitted due to pneumonia. In layman term, pneumonia is known as lung infection. The illness started 3 weeks before where Ameen started to have fever. I thought it was just a usual viral infection which will recover spontaneously. However, the fever seems to be persistent with his flu and occassional cough. The worries then came and I started antibiotic on my own then the fever subsided. 4 days later, he developed another spike of fever which alarm us to bring Ameen to paediatrician. The paediatrician reassure us that the fever is nothing serious and the lung was ok and start him on another course of antibiotic. The fever subsided then but recurr after 2 days but relieved with Paracetamol.
On 23rd February, i noticed that Ameen had persistent fever and was breathing quite fast. When I auscultate his lung, it was quite clear and that was a reassurance for me to do my oncall the next day. When I was busy reviewing patients in emergency department that night, my husband called and said that Ameen was very weak the whole day and the breathing doesn't look good. I ask Abu Ameen to send him quickly to hospital.
Ameen arrived to hospital, breathing fast with some chest recession and appear less cheerful. I then realized that the day before i was actually denial that my child illness was serious. Seeing his condition, I have a feeling that he will be admitted that night. I was very stressed up, conflicting between my worry of my son and my resposibility as an oncall doctor. I was no longer giving my concentration on my duty. I cried in heart and called my colleague asking an urgent replacement. Alhamdulillah, Allah gave me very helpful collegue, who replace my duty thus gave me chance to be with my little one. They are my non muslim collegues, who was really helpful and supportive. I remember 4 years ago when my father passed away, I asked help from a muslim friend to arrange my coming oncall in 2 days time because I was in grieve and need time to be with family, but she disappoint me and ask me to arrange it on my own! I was really upset receiving the answer. How could a muslim sister disappoint another sister who is in grieve? That was the previous story but I still remember it until now.
Back to Ameen, he recovered well after 3 days of intravenous antibiotic and 4 hourly nebulisation. After the discharge, he was more active and started walking actively for the first time and playing in the house. I thank Allah for all His Mercy to Ameen.

Points for me to learn:
1. Never ignore your child sickness. Always get help before it's too late. I have seen few babies succumb due to late presentation for medical attention and that was very sad.
2. Always be helpful to others because it is Prophet Muhammad's teaching. We also might need help from others in future.
3. Allah test his servant only within our capability. Be strong, don't sigh, Allah is always there!
