The Balloon I

Wednesday, 9th Nov 05

She-balloon & He-balloon was brought home to room 414. They continued to stay joyously afloat, singing merrily in the air.

He-balloon got sick. Worse still, he transmitted the disease to She-balloon.

Medical history: They are asthmatic

Diagnosis: Infection in the lungs leading to balloonic pneumonia

Treatment: 3 doses of Helium daily

Complication: punctured lungs causing acute balloonic pneumothorax (if left untreated)



The treatment was not available and the disease progressed. It is sad to see them atrophy as the time passes. It aches even more to look at them shrinking smaller and smaller (than the flower) each day...deep in my mind, i have always asked myself, will they make it through and survive? will they?

Can't believe that u are so creative...well.. frankly speaking, the balloon already progress to end stage lung disease liao, there doesn't have any treatment for that...
but...
u still remain 2 option...
the 1st option is try to insert helium gas inside the balloon through a surgery by using gummed paper, but this will have a high risk, cos the prognosis is quite poor.. besides that, even that the surgery is succcessfull, but the balloon will looks more and more ugly as times goes on.. because... this surgery is an ongoing surgery...

another option...
u can get a new one at any balloon shop or stall.. but... those balloon that u get will have atrophy someday...

thats my opinion lar~
take care~
