Recently my daughter was in hospital for 5 days with a severe, rather scary asthma attack. At one stage I heard the doctor say to a nurse 'Tell intensive care to get ready just in case we need to send her there'. You can imagine how my heart began pounding when I head that. Asthma is something that many people, especially children, suffer from in New Zealand, which has one of the highest asthma rates in the world. I have three children, and all of them have asthma, so we tend to dread winter, as either one or all of our children end up in the emergency department at one stage or another, sometimes more than once. Our neighbours must really wonder what is going on at our house, when once a week the ambulance turns up in the middle of the night! The ambulance paramedics know us all very well now!
AlhamduliAllah (Thank God) my daughter is much better now, and enjoying the warmer weather and better health. Here is a photo of her in her favourite 'Hello Kitty' pyjamas, fighting the boredom of being stuck in bed, playing games and drawing on the tablet. While she was in hospital, I posted a rainbow drawing she made when she began to feel better, on my Facebook page. Many of my lovely viewers/readers/fellow bloggers saw it and responded with such lovely comments of support. I just wanted to say thank you from us for thinking of us, and your uplifting comments. Being in the children's ward for 5 days makes you feel very 'cut off' from the rest of the world, and it was nice to know I could still connect with everyone through the internet.
I also posted some of the beautiful murals that line the walls of the children's ward in the hospital. You can view those here.
Once again, thanks to you all, we really appreciate it.
