or trying to, at least.
My son has been sick for the past two or three weeks, mind you, it's from different causes. One was he had a nose bleed which the doctors said as dengue. Then after that, he had an ear infection which we had him treated for, after that I think as a side effect of the antibiotics he was given, he now has diarrhea, and broke out into rashes, last night I was so afraid for him that I wasn't able to sleep well. I was so afraid that if I fall asleep, I would wake up and find there's a new problem for me to face with him, my fear is so great that i'd rather lose sleep than risk that I might miss a significant event that will significantly change my child. I think at one point or another a parent undergoes this 'fear' specially moms, who I think are more affected when things like this happens. I am really feeling under the weather, my cough has been going on for so long now, I don't want to count anymore, I think added to my ill health is the stress of worrying about my youngest that my body is failing to quickly heal itself, I realize this but I cannot help myself, he's my son and I don't want him to suffer because I wasn't paying attention. I want to let go and know that I cannot control all circumstances, that I have to trust that God is watching over him and that he will be all right. I want to stop worrying, I'm wanting to relax and know for myself that I already did what I had to with regards to my son's health but my 'motherly instinct' if I'll be allowed to use the term kicks in and worrying starts all over again, I really pray that this will end soon or else I might find myself on the brink of breakdown if I don't have a breakdown at all. I just hope and pray that I learn to let go of my worries or else risk my own self, physical and otherwise, and in the end all of us will suffer....
