Grandma to the rescue

 Now, casting my mind back, I cannot quite reconcile some of the risks I took back then.  It is unimaginable to think some of those stuffs actually did happen.  It was ‘reporting time’ at work.  For an Accountant, that really is the peak period where all reports are due within a very tight schedule.  It’s just like a relay, as your submissions will be consolidated globally and timing and quality of your reports are quite critical.  It was just at the peak of all of these my daughter took ill and was admitted in hospital.  What a time!  It was absolutely impossible for me to ask for a time off at this time, there was no relief officer; my boss at the time wasn’t even so approachable particularly at such a critical period.  What could I possibly do?  Of course, it was grandma to the rescue.  Grandma will stay with my daughter in hospital all day and mummy only takes over at night after work to allow grandma go home and rest.  Grandma resumes again the next morning and mummy also will report at work right from hospital – this was the routine for the 5 days my daughter was in hospital.

Back home now with nanny all day long, we had to complete some oral drugs. One of it was to be taken in 3days, 2 tablets a day and the last one tablet on the 3^rd day.  Usually, I will administer the morning drugs and give an instruction on the afternoon portion.  To my surprise, my hyper active nanny had completed the 3days dosage, all in one day!  Two tablets in the afternoon, and the last one in the evening, before I got back from work.  Back I rushed to the hospital with my baby, as soon as I realized.  The doctor was absolutely amazed and I cannot forget his stern question; where were you?

 Prayer point: O Lord, take absolute control of my life, take control of my family;  even when I need to be away reign over my home, reign over my children and family members.  There shall be no evil mishap in Jesus name.  Amen.
