My Superhero

(My superhero - Look at her big swollen eye)

2nd Jan 2011.

Atria had such bad eye bacterial infection, coupled with prolonged high fever. (more than 10 days). She was admitted to KKH. As a mummy, I was so super worried about her. The hubby was outstation at the moment. I felt so desperately alone.

My dear Atria did me proud. She did not cry or even made the slightest sound while the nurses get the plug (for IV) on her. I named her my superhero. With the plug on, she was rather limited in the movement and was slightly affected by it. But, she still behaved exceedingly well.

We stayed there for a total of 4 days. She was totally bored as there is nothing much to do there. We must say big thank you to all the aunties and uncles who came and showed there support and they also brought games and videos to entertain her (also relieving me so that I could go and bath or have a short break) :)

Atria survived the ordeal, which I am glad. I learnt so much from my girl. The little ones have such extraordinary strength that the parents cannot imagine. They have grown much stronger (not without the trauma etc) after all these challenges. As parents, we have so much to learn from them. And I am still learning from them every single day.
