EAR BLEEDING

Last Saturday, Hubby and I were watching the final 5 episodes of LOST.

Both of us were sitting at the living room, while our kids were sitting behind us. Occasionally, we would turn back to see that they were doing.

Then the 3 kids became very quiet. I was thinking that they might be watching the TV as well. While we were engrossed watching the TV, suddenly Afiqah was shrieking very loudly. She cried in pain!!

There was blood coming out from her left ear.

Without our knowledge, Afrina took some tiny cotton buds and was trying to dig her sister's ear, just like what we normally do to them. But Afrina could not estimate the depth of the ear, so she kept on poking it.

Of course, she got scolding from the Abah, and she was earnestly sorry for what she had done.

As the bleeding stop after a while, we thought it was just a small wound. So we just cleaned the blood.

But yesterday and this morning, the bleeding started again. I brought her to see a doctor this morning. The doctor said, her ear drum seems to be in good shape, but her ear canal is badly wounded. That is why it keeps bleeding.

She was prescribed with a ear drop and a syrup for the pain. I was advised not the touch the interior of her ear, so that the wound can dry up fast.

I was worried that it affected her ear drum, so I purposely called her name from the left. So far she could hear me. Hopefully she will recover soon.
