Recovery

The girl has been sick for a week now, and I choose to write about something heartening while our house is covered with gloom from her illness (and whining). Since J's accident, he has been on the mend. Last Sunday, 9 days after his fall, we brought him for a follow-up consultation.

In good spirits

Surprisingly, the wait was not long (phew) and the boy was still obviously in very good spirits. He was on an adrenalin, bouncing around the waiting room playing with the water dispenser and feeling very pumped up from his last episode; where he did not cry. This boy is truly brave and he is also good at remembering positive experiences.


A nurse came in shortly and said she will be removing the stitches. She told J to lie on the bed while she went around preparing for the procedure.

Slightly serious (worried) face

Look at that serious face

The removal was painless (literally) and the entire visit to the doctor took about an hour! Yay to speedy service. We deliberated where to go for our breakfast, then finally settled for something simple. It was a nice, breakfast session I enjoyed with my boy and it felt good to see him feeling fine and eating like a champ.

Peanut porridge and fried bee hoon

So this wraps up the episode of his accident. I was slightly worried that he may scratch the sensitive area as there are no stitches to stop him from being rough with the itch, but it's been 3 days since and all is well.


Hooray!
