At the hospital

Sitting quietly beside Aiman's hospital bed, I watched his serene sleeping face. Opposite his bed is my daughter's bed. Rarely does a mother took two kids at once to the ward for operation. Both of them have tonsilities - a throat problem. Their tonsil will be removed tomorrow.

Initially it seemed like just a simple minor operation to me until I saw my 7 years oleh Aiman cried when the doctor tried to insert operation needle into his hand. The first try on the left hand was unsuccessful. Then the doctor tried with the right hand. Can you imagine how does a mother feel seeing the doctor moving the needle inside my son's hand from left to right trying to find the blood vessel? It must have cut into his flesh. As for my daughter, only the forth try was successful leaving three unused needle hole. But since she's 17 years old, it doesn't bother her much. I have to bear with everything because I know they will be much better after the operation, InsyaAllah. They both have breathing difficulty. The often inflame tonsils blocked their nostrils, making it difficult for the air to reach their lungs.

May Allah bless my kids with good health.

May Allah bless us all.
