Good day hivers , @mariajasmin is here again. I was supposed to publish this yesterday but I wasn't feeling well. I couldn't even hold my phone for the reason that I'm so weak, my stomach hurt terribly and I felt so dizzy. Until now I still have this feeling but not totally worse than yesterday.
On my previous blogs, I have mentioned spending time with my siblings. But this time, you will know how busy I am as you witness my everyday routine. Yes, spending time with my family is not just my task, I also monitored my niece and her mother's condition in case they need help. In this blog, I'll share with you my daily routine and our trip in Bogo for the baby's treatment so you would know the various scenarios we experienced.
The baby was so sensitive, she always wanted to lay on our arms, if we would never do that she would automatically cry. Her face turned red if she started to cry so we always did our best just to make her calm. It's also really tiring because there are so many different things to do just to keep the child calm. Even though I can feel the fatigue, I still continue to do what she wants. He likes to be lifted up and down or something else. Even though my knees, shoulders, hands, back started to hurt , my sweat was slowly dropping and I felt a little dizzy, I'm still doing the moves that she wants. However, I still understand this situation because that's how baby is, and it might get hard for the mother if no one helps.
When the child's treatment schedule arrived, I was the one who was asked to go with them. This child has a foot problem, and it needs to be treated immediately while she is still young and cannot be carried away as she grows up. This is the first time I have accompanied them because my aunt was actually supposed to go, but she can't go right now due to some reason.
Since I finished getting ready first, I am the one who dressed the baby while her mother also choosing her clothes so that the time wouldn't be wasted. I really love babies , that's why sometimes they tempt me to have a baby, but oh my, it's not the right time 😅.
I wasn't able to take a picture while we were on our way because I was holding the baby while it was sleeping, and even the slightest movement could wake her up and might make her cry, so we were really careful with our movements.
We finally headed to our destination, which is the DESQ in Bogo. There were only a few people inside, and we waited for our turn since 10 am is our schedule. The female doctor approached us with a smile and was happy to see the baby. They also decided to check the baby's weight and they were so proud because it was only 2 months old and it was already heavy. At first I thought she was of Chinese descent or something, so we asked her about it and just told us that she's a pure Filipina.
After a few minutes of conversation, we returned to the chair. I thought that only the assigned doctor would handle the child's treatment, but Ate Angel told me that we needed to help the doctor with the treatment to properly position the baby since it was really inevitable that the child would cry and be uncomfortable. I started to worry because I didn't know what to do with the baby since this was my first time with them, however it was also for the sake of the child. In these scenarios, I was really worried because it's so hard seeing some babies suffering.
The male doctor who was assigned to do the treatment told us to get inside since the given time has arrived. The treatment process is quite long, her foot needs to be wrapped so that her foot position slowly returns to normal. Oh by the way, this male doctor is the husband of the female doctor we encountered first, and this is their private clinic.
After the treatment, we went to a store where my cousin, who is the baby's father, works since it's also nearby. At exactly 12 o'clock, we had our lunch at Karinderya. It took only a while and we immediately headed home. While we were riding the bus, the baby immediately began to cry, luckily we were close to home.
Sometimes, helping is not only seen or found in words, but in meaningful acts that make a real difference.
