Life isn't simple
isn't as simple as we encountered
this is perhaps the common thought among us
but what these 4 mothers encountered are really not simple
I hope we learn to appreciate what we have and never demand for more
Mother love, I believe, is the greatest love everyone ever feel.
The story of First Mother:
I believe so far she broke the record for the longest stay in the paediatric ward.
A mother with a 1year-old child diagnosed as tuberculosis since 6 months ago, coming from an isolated place in Sarawak.
It isn't surprised to have patient coming to stay for such a long time as we know that only rivers connect those isolated place hidden inside Sarawak.
And most of them could not present to pharmacy counter to collect medications which expire every fortnight.
For the sake of patient health, specialist would choose to retain patient until the whole regimen is completed. You should know that TB would have high chance of recurrence if patient misses out the medications.
She is a mother to 6-7 children and this child is the youngest, perhaps causing the most headache to her.
Yet I believe, she never blame or complain.
Perhaps she might felt lucky for free stay and food in hospital.
Taking care of patient daily needs would be her everyday work.
And sometimes, the other children would come over to pay a visit to their mother, even though they pretended sick and skipped the school.
The story is getting more interesting when another mother joined in her isolated room.
Another mother with TB children, knowing each other in the hospital and befriended since admission.
This mother would pay occasional visit to her, bringing her some food and accompanying her killing time.
So far, the child looks well with good compliance to medications though he may encountered fast breathing and airway exacerbation aka asthma attack.
Not to forget that the child faces global development delay. Not yet able to sit without support even more than 1 years old.
Pray hard for the child for rapid recovery and always in the pink of health.
