Turning Point

FIFTY SEVEN

"Mother is paralyzed again mas" Lintang answered in panic.

Agum was aghast and immediately approached his mother who was in his room.

"Mother why?", asked Agum while holding his breath slightly when he smelled the scent of a pug from his mother's bed.

Ranti's mother didn't say a word. Only I shed tears as if to say he was so tormented by his current state.

"Mother, grandma why?", asked Nana to see her parents gathered in her grandmother's room.

"Grandmother is sick dear", replied Lintang.

Nana looked at her grandmother's pity who was currently lying weak.

"What's sick grandma?, want Nana pijitin to be cured?", bargained Nana innocently.

Ranti's mother just smiled bitterly at the attention shown by her beloved granddaughter. It felt like Ranti's mother was fond of stroking Nana's hair, but what power, her organs were completely immovable.

"Sir, try to clean this mother's former pee. Then you bathe. After that we take it to the hospital" Agum ordered.

"Well, I ask you to take care of Nana first", replied Lintang obediently. Agum nodded too.

Lintang tried to wake her mother-in-law's body. At the moment he is in a position to sit on the bed.

Lintang held her mother-in-law's arm around her neck, tried to get her mother-in-law to stand up and then swept her into the bathroom.

"Wait a minute ma'am, Lintang clean the mother's bed first, after this Lintang will bathe the mother" said Lintang while sitting her mother-in-law's body on a chair made of plastic. Ranti's mother nodded.

*********

Lintang and Agum wait for Ranti's mother in the ER room. Doctor Anwar who was a doctor who used to deal with Ranti's mother's disease was seen checking her condition.

"How about the doc?", asked Lintang after Anwar's doctor finished checking Ranti's mother's condition.

"What is the beginning of motherhood like this?", asked Dr. Anwar back.

"In the morning when I woke up, I cried out for help doc, it turns out his legs and hands can not be moved."

Doctor Anwar tried to explain. "Your mother had a stroke before, too, right?". Latitude nodded.

Doctor Anwar took a deep breath. "It turns out for now because of diabetes, even though his blood is only abnormally high (130/85), he said, can occur blockage in the brain due to a cholesterol clot that was attached to a blood vessel that has been affected by atherosclerosis detached and also flowed and clog the blood vessels of the brain"

Lintang and Agum looked carefully listening to the explanation of Dr. Anwar.

"The disease control is not regular, is it? I used to say the same pain like this must be routinely to the doctor so that there is no second attack?. Must be faithful to be a patient for life", continued Dr. Anwar

Agum flinched, it turned out that there was one very important thing that escaped his attention. His face looks clear. "I'm sorry we doc, we've been remiss in remembering messages from doctors three years ago. Because the mother felt healthy and her hands were strong again, even able to walk, the mother chose not to eat drugs anymore and not control anymore"

Doctor Anwar smiled. "Don't get it wrong. The second and third attacks are usually more severe, especially if you meet diabetes, that's why the mother currently has her stroke at dawn. As the blood flow slowly, the clots clog up into the already thick blood vessels due to the weakening. The mother should be sugar regulated until stable, then given routine blood thinning and anti-cholesterol drugs that can prevent blood clots from forming from broken blood vessel walls that have narrowed".

"If the mother has had a previous attack, then in this second attack, the possibility of recovery will be smaller because of the damage caused by the stroke" replied Dr. Anwar. "For now, I let hospitalization in the hospital first yes mas, mbak. So that I can monitor his progress. For healing, a lot of praying" continued doctor Anwar concluded his explanation.

Lintang and Agum were seen sitting limp on the side where Ranti's mother was lying.

**********

Ranti's mother moved to the second-grade ward. He looks weak with an infusion tube and an oxygen hose attached to his body.

"Huhuhuhu Nana doesn't want to go home, Nana wants to be here"

The latitude tried to smile. "Honey, go home with Ratih's grandmother first yes, tomorrow Nana can come here again" Lintang told Nana.

Nana's cry sounded even louder. "Nana wants to be here, want to be the same mother, huhuhuhuhu"

"Nana is silent!", said Agum immediately trying to silence Nana who was whining with a high tone.

The Latitude view then turned to Agum. "Mas?!"

Ratih's mother was also surprised. "Here ndhuk, Nana let's have a fat mom"

Lintang also handed Nana to her mother's arms. "Darling, it's big now, right?

Nana nodded. Lintang smiled again as he rubbed his daughter's head. "If Nana is already big means having to obey what mom says. Now Nana goes home with Ratih's grandmother, later at home there is also aunty Friska, so Nana can play with aunt Friska"

Nana started to stop her crying. "So later Nana sleeps at the place of Ratih's grandmother, mother, when do you go home?

Latitude began to be a little relieved because Nana could already understand a little. "Love later at home, Nana accompanied by aunt Friska, mother returned home if Ranti's grandmother was healed yes"

Finally Nana according to what Lintang said. "Yes mother"

The latitude approaching Agum. And take her out of the room. "You shouldn't yell at your son like that!",

Agum just put on a flat face and not a word said.

The latitude breathes deeply. "I know you're tired, but you shouldn't do that in front of your son!"
