The diarygame #52- Hospital,Exercise and Spent time with the little one-11/08

Dear Diary, I woke up to a knock on my door, with my son calling me so loudly. When I opened the door, he was holding his stomach saying it was paining. Hugged him and told him his going yo be okay after we saw a doctor. Before doing any other thing, to dedicate the first 30min of my day to praising the Lord, reflecting on the blessings in my life, and finding strength and clarity for the day ahead as this has become a cherished part of my mornings to the extent that if I forget to pray in the morning my day doesn't go as planned and but when I do I am filled with hope and faith that nothing can shake me.

It had been 2days now since he was complaining of stomach pain so I felt a mixture of concern and hope for his well-being. The hospital visit went not so well as it was discovered that he had stomach ulcers, and it was saddening to see that as young as he is, he had the ulcers. Despite the hospital results, I made sure to keep the mood light for my son, sharing stories and making little jokes to ease any anxiety he might have felt. he was given medicine for weeks. I was already so worried because he doesn't like medicine but I had to look for ways to convince him to take the medicine for 2weeks.

As I was heading home from the hospital had to stop at the washing bay, It was a necessary stop because my car was dirty. I find it satisfying to see my car clean and smelling good. It gives me peace of mind. The washing bay was quite busy today, but I managed to wait patiently as my son sipped on some milk tea.

Returning home was a relief though my 1year old baby is always cling, i love spending time with her. I spent the rest of the day with my little one, cherishing the quality time together.
These simple moments fill me with so much joy and satisfaction. We played, enjoyed cocomelon songs, and simply enjoyed each other’s company and obviously, there was some crying because she always wanted my phone which is a big no for me. The day felt complete as I watched my daughter's face light up with sweet giggles.

I then went on a 4.91 km walk, oh I didn't only walk but I ran and fast walked which turned out to be reflective. The weather was pleasant, with a gentle breeze that made the journey enjoyable. Every step I took felt meditative, providing a sense of calm and clarity because I had so much on my mind most of all on how I was going to help my son with this ulcer. By the end of the walk, I felt a satisfying blend of physical accomplishment and I was mentally relived, yes I needed it.

After my walk, I decided to prepare a fresh and healthy meal. I made a salad with carrots, tomatoes, and cucumber. The crispness of the vegetables was refreshing and provided a nice contrast to the earlier part of the day. It was a simple dish, but it was nourishing and satisfying, a perfect end to a fulfilling day to make me have a full stomach before I start looking for bread. I have failed to get over bread no matter what, I wish I could get some help on how.

I feel satisfied with the day though it came with bad news, but at least I managed to balance responsibilities and spend time with my children which brings a unique kind of happiness and fulfillment. I’m grateful for today full of hope that my son is going to be okay as I look forward to what tomorrow will bring, may the almighty take the wheel.
