It all happened last Wednesday (24 August 2011). I was taking a shower with Hannah. It was one hour before the time to break fast. Hannah suddenly fell in front of my eyes. She fell backwards, hitting her head on the floor of the bathroom.
She cried for a few seconds, and all of a sudden she went silent. Her eyes went white & she was shaking all over. I immediately lifted her up, opened the door & called out to Bibik to fetch my parents.
My bro Kudin, who is a doctor-to-be, took Hannah out of my arms and asked me what happened. She was still unconcious. With all the panic running through the house, Ayah & Kudin quickly went into the car, bringing along a pair of Hannah's pyjamas & a diaper, as she was naked.
Meanwhile, I finished bathing and packed Hannah's stuff into a bag. Ummi & I went to the hospital afterwards, bringing some food for breaking fast.
Hannah was admitted to SDMC at Subang Jaya. It was dusk when Ummi & I arrived. At the emergency room Hannah was in, my little girl was looking sleepy. Ayah then told that the doctor had given her a dose of sleeping medicine. She needs to be asleep in order to x-ray her head.
While I carressed Hannah's hair softly to get her to sleep, Kudin explained what happened when they were on the way to the hospital. Since it was nearing breaking fast time, the main roads & highways had traffic congestions. Ayah spotted a traffic police & stopped him. The kind policeman escorted Ayah's car all the way tp the hospital in less than 20 minutes. Hannah gained conciosuness soon before arriving at SDMC.
After a few minutes, Hannah was asleep. The nurses took her away to scan her head, looking for any injuries since she hit her head during the fall. While waiting for Hannah, the four of us went to perform our Magrib prayers & also Solat Sunat Hajat to pray for Hannah's safety.
Since Hannah fell & went unconcious, I didn't stop crying. People kept looking at me at the hospital, but I didn't care as I was really worried for my daughter. I blamed myself for what happened to her.
Alhamdulillah.. The doctor explained to us that Hannah was OK, there were no serious injuries to her head. Only that she was now sick with fever. The doctor gave 2 different medicines. The 1st medicine was like a pill. It was to be inserted in her rectum if her body's temperature was higher that 38.5°. The other medicine was the usual liquid medicine for children with fever.
We went back home after that. Hannah woke up from her sleep & started talking like she usually does. I don't think she remembered anything about what happened to her.
I'm utterly grateful that my daughter is all right. Hubby has also helped in praying for her safety. I'm a bit traumatised myself. From this scary tragedy, I learnt a few things.
I'd like to advise every parent to take good care of our children, everywhere, even at home. We should never take our children for granted.
