We never want our babies to get sick and for
this, we try our best to keep our babies safe and healthy. But we can't hide
them inside our places so they go outside play, eat and enjoy. This exposure to
outside world sometime get them infected by some nasty viruses. Last week my
son was suffering from severe cold-fever. We started with few medicines and saw
improvements in his health. I thanked God and wished Vibhu to come out quickly
from this cold bug. Cold is like a night ghost. This can't let babies sleep
well. I saw Vibhu was tossing over bed because of nose blockage. Giving him
nozzle drop was only option we had. We both,husband and wife, really avoid this
remedy until no option left. Vibhu hate this nozzle drop but ultimately I gave
it to him and he started crying with discomfort in his nose.

Next day after reaching home from my office
I came to know from my mother in-law that Vibhu now got loose motions. In a
single day he did it for more than 20 times. I saw his face with so much worry.
He was looking dull and baffled. I took him in my arms and tried to make him
smile. After some time he looked okay and slept in my lap. We had few medicines
for loose motion as well so we gave it to Vibhu first day. When second day there
was no respite for Vibhu, we went to our regular pediatrician. New medicines
and log waiting for relief!! During this time Vibhu was irritated because of
continuous cleaning and wiping. Rashes added new discomfort for him. In spite
of taking medicines, there was no lighting of loose motions. Third day we again
went to the same doc. He said its viral diarrhea and it takes time. But to see
Vibhu in such condition was becoming painful for us. I almost cried when he
shouted while changing his pants. He was not eating anything and was not taking
any feed. I was continuously prying for getting easement for my baby. Finally
fourth day we went to a new doc in hope of some betterment. Thank god new
medicines worked for Vibhu. He slept well in night and we took a sigh of
relief. To see our babies in pain is most difficult situation for a mother.
Being a working mother, whole day I couldn't be with him. I normally take
leaves if Vibhu is not well but this time I couldn't get leaves due to certain
reasons. My husband was at home for Vibhu because Vibhu needed him. Whole week
went in praying for Vibhu. We couldn't sleep well whole week and my mother
in-law couldn't do any rest. But when Friday we saw Vibhu playing and singing (in
his own language :) ) we all thanked God again and again !!

I wish our babies never get affected with
these awful diseases. Especially when they can't express their uneasiness in
words, I find it more difficult. It takes lots of patience to deal with our
ailing babies. They don't want to eat, they don't like playing either. And
medicines add extra nuisance. Babies simply hate them. God please save every
kid from these displeasuring situations. Give them lot of lot of smiles. Give
them strength to fight all viruses. Let them play as they want. Give them
abundance of joy every minutes every second!!
