Hema got an A

Last Monday, our dear Hema was admitted to RS Panti Rapih. The diagnosis was Hepatitis A. For this reason, Hema has to be hospitalized for a week. As Malina said "Some A's are just not worth getting."

Hepatitis A is an acute infectious disease of the liver caused by Hepatitis A virus, which is most commonly transmitted by the fecal-oral route via contaminated food or drinking water. The time between infection and the appearance of the symptoms, (the incubation period), is between two and six weeks and the average incubation period is 28 days. Luckily, Hepatitis A does not have a chronic stage and does not cause permanent liver damage.

Hema's chief complain is having no appetite to eat, yet feeling hungry. Almost all of her meals were consist of bread spread with blue berry jam plus one boiled egg. The hospital's kitchen seriously are not creative at all in deciding the menu...at least give grape jam or pineapple jam sometimes..Hema is so kurus now...



This year birthday must have been very memorable for Hema, because she celebrated it in the hospital. Hui Min showed her the video we recorded after lecture. And the present she received was so much that she hardly had enough space to sleep.


There is a good news here. Hema said she will discharge on Sunday. So, we will probably see her on Monday. Welcome back to the Campus! We miss you!
