Christmas and New Year just passed us by. That's because my three year old daughter, my only child, got seriously sick for the first time. She had a major case of eye infection which caused the bacteria in her body to rise to scary levels. She had very high temperature and was already chilling. She could not eat and she would vomit her milk. When we took her to the hospital, she was immediately admitted and she had to go through several examinations. She was pricked, injected, examined, and had to have a tube inserted in her hand (dextrose) for support in medication and nutrition. It was such a scary scary time for me. We were just released before new year's eve but she is still being monitored. Being the mom that I am, I cried endless tears and unconsciouly wiped my eyes with the same hands that comforted my little daughter. And so now, I have the eye infection! But I still am thankful that Nicole is better now.
I appologize for not being able to answer emails, not being able to participate in the forums, and for just being out of touch. I will catch up with you guys once Nicole is better.
Hope everyone had a happy new year.
Iris

Iris, I am sorry that your holidays were so frightening. I pray that you both will continue to feel better.
You are missed and loved out here in cyber land, but we are a patient lot! God Bless you!
That is a scary time. I'm glad your daughter is on the mend!
Bless your heart!! I hope you both get better soon!
HUGS!
thank you so much guys for your concern. I appreciate all your kind words. You are just a bunch of wonderful people and I'm glad I got the chance to know you guys (both in person and through the internet. Nicole is slowly getting better. I on the other hand have a throat infection. I saw my throat through a camera and I would not even want to describe the looks of it to you. It is the cause of my high fever. I'm taking antibiotics now. I just pray that I won't transfer this bacteria to Nicole too. I would so appreciate your prayers. Thank you very very much.
Iris so sorry to hear about everything that you and your family are going through. Its tuff when the little ones get sick. I know she is the apple of your eye and I hope that you and your family all start feeling better.
Hope you and Nicole are feeling better soon, Iris! My Raya got an eye infection too which I eventually got from her. But thank God it isn't very serious. Still praying (and have been very conscious about it) that my Baby Alyssa doesn't get it from me. Rest well and take care of yourself!
Iris, That was a terrible thing to happen to Nicole. Thank God she is feeling better. I hope both of you will have a complete recovery soon!
Iris, how terrible for you all. I'm pleased to hear Nicole is getting better though. I went through a similar thing with my little boy when he was about 4,it's so hard when your baby is ill. Take care.

Hope you and Nicole get better very soon.
