It started last Wednesday night (3rd Dec) when my babysitter announced her resignation due to her marriage. What made me annoyed and a bit upset is that she didn't give me much time to find her replacement. She told me that she would be leaving by Friday 5th Dec, whereas she knew I'm working and will only be free on weekend. After being strict on my decision, she agreed to leave on Saturday, instead of Friday.
Saturday morning, my mom-in-law called and said that my father-in-law is being hospitalized. Unconsciously, I kind of expected it, since the possibility was already being discussed when she visited us 2 weeks ago.
Yet, me & Alex thought there was nothing very serious with his condition and general health. We knew he's been suffering from kidney stones some times ago but we didn't know how serious it was..
Until last night, when my sister-in-law called and told me that he fell unconscious after back from the toilet. I could hear my other sister-in-law cried when we talked. 30 minutes later, Alex got another phone-call from Bandung, telling us that my father-in-law was given oxygen-mask to help him breathing normally.
I know how the uncertainty bothers Alex so much, so I told him that he'd better off to Bandung and see for himself.
He left this morning, and I go to work as usual. My maid will take care of Dante only for today, because the new babysitter from my sister is planned to come tonight.
When Alex called around 12, I spoke with my father-in-law and he seemed okay. A bit weak, but considered okay. One hour later, Alex texted me, saying that the creatine level in his kidneys is very high and his father's kidneys are only functioning 10% :(
The doctor advised hemodialysis twice a week but I'm still not sure whether it will be a permanent treatment or just temporary.
After that, I've been searching the net to find more knowledge on the disease and the alternative treatment..
Please pray for my father-in-law, friends..
