My fear-My love

Dengue fever, two words that i heard and read a lot from people and in newspapers. The calmity its spreading all over the globe is really troublesome for those who are suffering from it. I could not know rather never tried to know its consequences untill it attacked my home to the most nearest person in my life-my wife.On Monday afternoon when she came home for lunch she was shivering but she took it lighly and went back to bank after lunch inspite myself asking her not to go and take rest. In the evening when both of us were home i saw her suffering with fever and took her to doctor. Doctor gave medicines and we returned home. She toook one dose in the night and one early in the morning when she was up for early breakfast due to KARVA CHAUTH VRAT ( women dont eat and even drink water for full day and eat only in the night after looking at moon and they do so for the long life of het husbands). Considering her health i insisted her not to proceed with VRAT but she did not agree and continued with it till in the evening i made her drink water when she saw the moon. She was still having fever. When the fever prolonged for third day we again went to doctor to be adviced for some pathological tests. This test confirmed the dengue fever to my wife and leaving me under great fear due to the fact that this fever is having no medicines and the treatment is just symptomatic. This fever reduces the pallatlets in the blood along with reduction of white blood cells. Till the time of writing this blog she is suffering but thank god her pallatlet count have not fallen low neither they r in safe zone of 150-400, they are hovering at 164 for 1st day 141 on second day and 148 on the third. I am spending sleepless nights for supervising her and ensuring she does not get fever again which has subsided from yesterday with use of paracetamol and multi vitamens - the only medicines allowed in this fever. In this fever one has to avoid other anti- biotic medicines. One has to drink maximum fluid for avoiding dyhydration in the body. One friend made me understand this fever in simple language that this is just boiling of blood in body which warms up the body and reduces pallatlets.Thats why one needs to take more fluid and cool drinks to keep blood cool. In this fever one has to get daily blood tests to monitor pallatlets in the body and to seek medical assistance in case their count falls drastically low.Today is the 6th day my wife is on bed and i am under stress due to fear of the fact that this disease and cos of fact that there is no medical treatment for this fever. A persons immune system has to struggle itself to win over it.Since i cannot imagine a life without my wife as she is a pillar of my and kids life. Without her i cannot imagine anything. I prayed a lot in front of God and still doing it for her well being and i am sure my lord ganesha will make her healthy soon as till date i have not hurt anybody,s feelings and has not done any bad to anyone. At this time 5 in the morning i am still sitting beside her and writing this blog as feel somewat relaxed to see that she is not having fear through out the night. My fear is due to my love for her. We never understand the pain of others till we ourself suffer from it. May god bless all those who are suffering from this fever. I know the ugly part of this fever too if it aggravates but i dont wanna wrtie it now cos it hurts me and i dont wanna imagine it. I may be able to write it, for the knowledge of those who dont know it, afterwards when my wife is fully well. Till then i can only say, drink more water and liquid material to stay healthy.
