Oh my God, what a week that was, My darling daughter had exams(I have mentioned the list of subjects in my earlier posts, such lengthy list of subjects, itself had me bothered) and she fell sick, really sick, just on the day of exam. This was not very serious issue, considering she is still in LKG. But what She had to go through and I had to endure, got me tired like anything. I could spare some time for myself, only since yesterday.
She has not been so sick for long time now, My pediatric did not want to take any chances, so she ran her through some series of tests, for Malaria, Dengue, Typhoid and what not. I still shiver when I think of the time, my daughter had to spend in laboratory at the Pediatric center.
It was not like, I had not taken any precautions, as the exam date was announced. I restricted her diet like anything, No oily food, No bakery items, no eating out, Oh my, she must have cursed me from the core of her heart. Even after I took so many precautions, she ends up with a throat infection. Now that's very bad.
I am stunned at, How kids find some or the other way to let the infection enter their bodies. I did not even let her play outside, since a long time now, she is indoors all the time.
I wore my detective cap on and investigated, as to, what might be the reason, and to me, there was no other reason, except, her new bad habit of, chewing and sucking her fingers while watching TV. This happens, without her knowledge, and it is bothersome, because, She also forgets to wash hands, after coloring and painting. So, I concluded that, she got her illness, because of her new bad habit. I am trying to make her correct herself, but, as the saying goes, bad habits are picked up easily, but are very difficult to correct.
Have any of you any tips to offer, or advice to give, that would be helpful, to help avoid exam tensions for a parent, due to sick child. I admit, I was a nervous wreck in the beginning of this week. Only yesterday, I was at peace and had some time off for me, for writing.
