As a mom, there are simply too many things that we care about — for our young children.  What worries you most?

From academic results, social circle, daily meals, health, motor skill development……..to physical development, to personal behaviours and to values.

It is not easy to prioritise, isn’t it?

For the last two weeks, it certainly became CLEARER to me how much more important GOOD HEALTH is for our children.

I have deep sentiments now because Darren has been sick for the last two weeks *frown*.

9 days of fever and prolonged cold and cough.  After consulting 3 doctors and an emergency visit to the hospital, we discovered that Darren is down with chest infection and has phelgm in his lungs.

His usual joyous, bubbly and energetic self has been missing for a while.  It has been worrying, especially the prolonged symptoms and infection.  I have been drained — juggling between work, tending to my sick boy and preparing Brendan for his ongoing exams.

Seeing him drink these bottles and then new and more bottles of medications can “pain” a mom’s heart.

I am relieved that Darren is finally feeling a little better though he is missing his ongoing Assessment Examinations this week.  What matters most is —- Getting him to rest and recover.
