Acute abdomen

we had a wonderful Raya this time....it's the first time after 3 years of marriage and working, that me and hubby celebrated Raya together and really enjoyed ourselves meeting relatives and friends....in 2005, hubby had to work during Hari Raya and for the next 3 consecutive days, so only me and Jihan went back to my parents' kampung...in 2006, we only spent 2 days of Raya together as hubby already starts working on the 3rd Raya....this year, although i have to be oncalled on the 2nd Raya, we still can enjoy our Raya holidays as we had quite a long holidays after that until the 6th Raya...

as usual, my dear hubby who simply loves eating, will eat just anything on the table....unfortunately, not all things end in a good way...on the 2nd Raya, while i was oncall, we managed to get some late lunch at Nando's and later went to my aunt's house to eat some soto...my hubby ate quite a lot....later that night, he complained of right hypochondrium pain and it was quite constant...after giving him some medications and ointment, the pain was still there....it was the similar type of pain he had during fasting month when he ate a lot, but at that time the pain resolved by itself...so that night, i ended up bringing him to the hospital for an injection....alhamdulillah, the pain resolved and he managed to get a good night sleep and we travelled to Batu Pahat the next day to see the rest of the families there...

we planned to do an ultrasound on him to see whether he has some stones suck at his biliary tree (the pain was highly suggestive of biliary colic)...but it's still during raya holiday, no radiology MO to do the scan...so, 2 days ago, my mum cooked some lontong and as usual we ate a lot...unfortunately, my hubby had the same type of pain that night....he was profusely sweating bearing the pain....and we ended up in the hospital again...after a few injections and few blood tests (which were normal), my hubby felt better and was discharged home....

he needs to get the ultrasound done fast to see whether is it the stone that causing him all the pain or is it something else, then we need to refer him to appropriate specialty...in the meanwhile, i have to control his food intake...no oily food and not too much of food per meal...because if lots of oily food is consumed, more bile is excreted to digest the oil and probably the stone (if it is there at the gallbladder or biliary tree) will get obstructed and will cause pain (biliary colic)....

we pray that it is not something sinister and may he recover fast and be in good health always....
