Not even a month since Neelu fell & cut her forehead, she had another fall AGAIN yesterday. This time she cut her chin. I really feel so sad but its fated, so I have to accept it!
However, I was very upset yesterday coz I only found out about her fall almost 2 hours after the incident. Neither me nor Hubby was informed!!
I only found out when Hubby called me during my class at about 7:30pm! They were saying that they did not tell me coz I will panic! BUT i feel as her parent I DESERVE the right to know! It really hurts!
She fell at about 5pm & most clinics were closed at that time, they brought her to my BIL's Silat School where one of his colleagues help to bandage the wound. I am thankful for the first aid given there.
Only when Hubby came back in the evening, that Neelu was brought to a clinic! I don't know why she was not brought to a 24hr clinic. Well, maybe coz they were in a panic too & did not think of that. However, had they informed either one of us, we would have told them that! In fact I am working in a children's hospital & had they told me I would have told them to bring her down to the hospital!
The clinic they finally brought her to last night just applied some iodine & did another bandage for her without even cleaning the wound properly. Looking at the bandage itself I know the job was not done well but I just don't feel like saying anything anymore, just too hurt & upset to even talk yesterday!
Last night, she did not sleep too well either, crying in between her sleep.
This morning, I took leave to bring her to see another doctor nearby my place. And I really THANK GOD that I followed my motherly instinct & did just that.
The doctor herself said that the cut need to be glued & was saying that the wound should be cleaned or else can be infected! So, just the DOC & me in the room, she is capable of removing the weird-looking bandage, cleaned off the blood stains on the chin, applied the glue & DONE.. All that was done with Neelu crying & struggling! It look so much better & in fact Neelu can eat now without feeling scared to even open her mouth!
Once we came back from the clinic, she had 2 slices of bread with Nuttella & some Nasi Lemak. And now, she is sound asleep..
Well, I have to say my daughter is NOT an angel so if she fall, its just her fault BUT i have to say that I still feel that as a PARENT I DESERVE TO KNOW & no matter how minor an injury is , TO ME if a child is injured, immediately bring her to a QUALIFIED DOCTOR!
Coz for ME especially, when a child's injury is concerned nothing is TOO MINOR!! This is MY PERSONAL opinion. That is the reason why I am always in a panic mode when anything happen to Neelu.
As for now, i just pray to ALLAH that just like the scar on her forehead, this scar will go off soon too!
Sorry for this long post coz I just need an outlet to vent it out!

Awww...kesian Mama Neelu.
My heart goes out 2u for being kept in the dark. I'd melenting also if I'm kept in the dark on something I SHOULD know immediately.
Here I was...the 1st time Neelu had a fall, the 1st thing that came to my mind was "Lucky Ana work @ KKH...quite useful for her in her own emergencies". Tak sangka plak jadi cam ni.
Takpe take it ez...mayb they were worried bcoz of your condition also. Juz make sure u tell her guardian not to repeat it in the future & to promise to tell u immediately so u can instruct what to do. As for u, u need to promise urself also not to PANIC if u get such a call in the future (nauzubillah, may this be her last mishap!)...so ppl wont think twice to notify u immediately if u can react calmly. Makes a difference.
Take gd care, jgn stress2.
Yeah, I agree that I am very panicky, but which MOTHER would not when her child is hurt!
Anyway, at least one of the parent should be informed rite, since Azim is more calm than I am, then he should know first.
Haiz... really so hurt lah.
Anway, wats done cannot be undone, So just have to move on. I really hope this will be last time she get injured. May ALLAH always look over her, especially when I am not anywhere near her :(
Amin! Insyallah.
