Family Day turned out to be a day in the hopsital (VRPMC-Edsa, Mandaluyong City).

Calixto, our 2 year old son had to be admitted due to an accident at home.   Sophia and Calixto loves to bang doors, open and shut them either they were playing with each other or getting rid of the other.  At this time, Sophia accidentally banged the door while Calixto’s tiny little fingers were still there. Ouch!!!! Imagine, how that felt.

As much as Calixto felt so much pain, Sophia felt so sorry too.  I tried my best to do some first-aid to his fingers but Calixto kept crying very hard.  It only means I need badly proper handlers for this situation and to this boy who is so young and fragile.

Being his mother and pregnant at the same time, it really is not very easy for me to see Calixto crying intensely while being injected for CBC, dextrose and performing X-rays and for the grand finale tomorrow (Sunday) will be the surgical operation to remove his fingernail (not sure if it’s a part or whole nail) on his right ring finger that has been almost chipped off.  He will be given some dose of anesthesia for the operation to keep him sedated.  No matter it doesn’t feel right for a baby to be given some anesthesia but doctors said it will be very traumatic for the child if he will be awake as much as it is to a grown-up person.

I know it hurts for Calixto but it also hurts me, his mother, to see him in his intense and loud cry.  Expectations of the worst come to my mind but I try to slip it off.  It won’t help.

I just pray that everything would be fine before, during and after the surgery  and that there’ll be no next times anymore to things like this. It is just so heartbreaking.
