I have been in NICU for bout 2 days. Its really terrible and saddening to see those newborns admitted to NICU. Some of them are jaundiced, some with breathing difficulties, some with Down syndrome and even some with congenital heart disease in failure. Some of them got ill due to maternal problem but some just got it without any reasons. Imagine you are a parent who just got a child and suddenly the doctor who delivered your child suspect your child to be Down syndrome. How do you feel? It really an agony to hear that, just like the world is crushing on you.
Today while oncall, I got to meet parents of a newborn in NICU. It was their first child, and the child was infected with multiple organism, both fungal and bacteria. The doctors suspected it to be immune deficiency and started the newborn on multiple antibiotics to cover fungal, gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The father seems to be in distress, asking me questions bout his child. But im doesnt really know the child and its problems, although the child seems stable currently. Then the father went on saying that some parents just throw their child away after giving birth but he and his wife has been trying hard to get a child. And when they finally got a child, it was not without problems…
I guess that’s how the world functions. Things that are easily obtained are owiz being unappreciated…
Recently Im beginning to accept those selfish kiasu coursemates of mine. My dad once said to me, these people are non-christians, many things they dun know and dun understand, we should pray for them. These kiasu ppl, I cant change their behavior, being upset over them is not going to do any better either… So now Im learning and trying to accept them as they are, hoping that one day they will realise wat they have been doing…
