Hello motherhood,I am happy to be your member.I have been reading and observing how things are being done here.This is my first post .
Children are special beings,we should always pay close attention to them.A week ago ,I noticed that my second daughter who is always happy,active , suddenly became clingy.She wants to stay with me , initially,I told my househelp to help and carry her but she insists that I must carry her.I hurriedly finished what I was doing ,I carried and pampered her to eat, which looks odd because she eats well and somethings feed her self, please note,she is 20months old.I was really worried but on a second thought,I reassured myself it might be as a result of change of environment because we travelled to her father's home town. Throughout that day,she was a bit irritable hence preventing me to complete my activity. Gradually,night came,boom high grade fever started. I tepid sponged,gave syrup paracetamol,all to no avail.I didn't sleep till morning . The next day plan of attending an occasion with my hubby was aborted. Early in the morning,my hubby and I,we dashed off looking for where to buy drugs for her.I forgot to mention that she hates taking oral drugs,in situation like this,we prefer injectables.We searched through the village ,we were able to get drugs but couldn't get cannula
which is needed for the injection.I have to give it into the muscles instead of d preferred access which is through the veins. Fortunately,she got better,I was happy that my active daughter became the daughter I used to know.
Her cousins ,even her sister missed her in these few days.I resumed my normal activity again because a sick child will also make her parents to be sick too indirectly .
See my second daughter playing with her sister and cousin
In conclusion,we mother's,we should be observant, know your child well, children have their peculiarities,try not to compare them.They are unique in their own ways,there is time for everything;time to pamper,time to reprimand
Thank you for reading my post.
