Turning Point
TWENTY FOUR
Mentari greet the world with its contents. The sheen of the light is clearly visible through the reflection of the Latitude room window facing directly towards the sun. Seemed he was cleaning a bed that was so messy after a night of being used to hug a dream.
After making his bed, he headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Agum as well as the others. This time, he plans to make pecel as a breakfast menu this morning.
Latitude looks busy with a variety of vegetables such as spinach, sprouts, carrots, also mustard. He boiled all the vegetables until soft, while frying the eggs of beef eyes as a side dish. He diluted pecel seasoning stored in the refrigerator then he served it on the dining table.
"Well, manyin eat vegetables like gini deck, it's very good for your health and the health of the grandpa in your womb" said Agum while eating the food in front of him.
"Yes mas, adek also from the first seneng eat ijo-ijo like this, but that does not mean cow loh ya, hehehe", replied Lintang while chuckling.
"Our deck, if you're a cow, what's it?" asked Agum
"Yes mas so bull, hihihihi", replied Lintang origin. Agum was just a little chuckle.
"You don't feel nauseous as much as vomiting really mbak Lin?", asked Ranti's mother who had looked silent.
"Alhamdulillah is not ma'am, Inshaallah the child in the belly of this Latitude is not fussy", replied Lintang while rubbing his stomach.
"Thank God, then mom is worried that you vomit every morning and do not want to eat. There used to be a neighbor mother like that until her body lemes really" continued Ranti's mother.
"Inshaallah latitude pregnancy is not like that ma'am, Lintang even feel the appetite Latitude increases", explained Lintang anyway.
Agum moved, taking the milk box that was still stored on the kitchen shelf. Then he made a glass of milk for the latitude.
"In drink yes dear", said Agum while giving a glass of vanilla-flavored milk to the latitude.
"Thank you many husbands" he replied with a sweet smile.
******************
The chant of the holy verse was heard from inside the room of Lintang. After performing the dhuha prayer, he chose to continue his prayer. While rubbing his stomach, he hoped that the developing fetus in his womb would hear every verse he read.
He folds the mucus that sticks to his body after he finished reading verse by verse in the Qur'an. Then he put his body on the bed. Indeed, this pregnancy actually does not make it weak because of morning sickness, but instead more often makes it easy to sleepy. He closed his eyes, and suddenly
Tok...
"Mbak Lin, mbak!", call Mimin in front of Lintang's room.
Latitude sitting from the position of the fall. While rubbing his eyes, trying to expel his drowsiness.
"That's, in front of me there's Friska's mother" replied Mimin
The latitude rushed towards the living room. And there is seen Ratih's mother also Friska sitting in the guest chair.
"Lin, I'm sorry that during the day like this mother interrupts" said Ratih's mother
"Eh no ma'am, mother's tumben day-after-day to here. This is Friska not a school?", asked Lintang curiously
"Friska body is very hot Lin, can you please bring it to the clinic?", explained Ratih's mother
Latitude holds Friska's forehead "Oh my goodness, it's so hot"
"Stars are ready first ma'am, we go to the clinic now yes", he continued. Ratih's mother nodded.
******************
"So my son is sick what doc?", asked Ratih's mother to doctor Pratiwi who is a pediatrician in a clinic.
"The mother's daughter has typhoid bu fever, or often called typhoid disease" answered Pratiwi's doctor
"What is the reason, doc, why my sister can get typhoid?", asked Lintang anyway
"So like this, the cause of typhoid fever or typhoid is Salmonella typhi infection, which is a bacteria that attacks the intestine. These bacteria normally exist in human feces and infect through contaminated food" answered Dr Pratiwi
"As the name implies, the symptoms of typhoid fever are high fever accompanied by weakness. Symptoms are similar to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) so it is often misdiagnosed, especially because it is equally marked by low platelets" the doctor continued. Latung and Ratih's mother nodded
"Then to speed up his recovery, my sister is encouraged to consume anything docks, or maybe there is a dietary restriction?", asked Lintang further.
Doctor Pratiwi smiled "For the recommended food is soft food. Because typhoid is a type of disease that infects the digestive system, Dik Friska is advised to eat soft, mushy and fruitful foods. This is done so that the food is more easily digested. The reason is, the digestive system of people who experience typhoid is in poor condition and needs time in the healing process. In addition, the feeding of soft and mushy also to avoid complications of bleeding in the intestine and intestinal perforation (holes appear in the intestinal wall). The second food recommended is high protein foods. Protein is very useful for the body because it is a source of energy and building substances that function in the growth and maintenance of damaged tissues. Well, for people who experience typhoid, a high intake of this protein food is very necessary to speed up the healing process and boost the immune system. This is because the protein is able to repair body cells damaged by infection. Some good sources of protein for people with typhoid include chicken breast, chicken liver, eggs, fish, tofu, and tempeh", continued Dr. Pratiwi.
"Well for food to be avoided is spicy food yes mbak. In addition to spicy foods, there are other foods and drinks that should be avoided when exposed to typhoid, including high-fat foods such as coconut milk, fried foods, junk food, and so forth. Raw foods, such as sushi and salads (without boiling). Sharp seasoned food. Caffeinated drinks, soda and alcohol. And do not forget to supply water eight glasses per day yes mbak", explained Dr. Pratiwi also.
"Thank you very much Doc, for the explanation. Then we'll excuse you" said Lintang say goodbye.
"Sama-sama, mother. May Dik Friska soon recover", replied Dr. Pratiwi kindly.
