Is a
mother's love, medicine
Minus all meningitis thoughts.The flu symptons
were strong. Headache,burning fever and
sore throat. So what does any natural mother
do when their offspring takes ill. They
smother him or her with a lot of TLC and
would walk to the ends of the earth just
to take away the pain and suffering.
Is a mother's love, medicine?
Despite all those motherly rituals mentioned
above. There was no change in my nine year
old son's condition. Meningitis still so
distant in my thoughts..The lucozade was
poured out in pints to quench his thirst
and a saturated flannel to change every
minute to wipe his brow. I prayed more times
to god than that of any pope for my son
to pull out of this other world he had elapsed
into.
A mother's love is more of a cure than any
cough medicines pills or tablets, so I thought..
Humming one of his favourite tunes as I
held him up close in my arms rocking him
back and too.
Not even his favourite videos could pull
him out of this alien world that he now
belonged to
Was a mother's love? slowly killing her
little boy.
Every mother's worst nightmare was to befall
me with the inevitable happening. Purple
like bruises began to appear on his chest
followed by the loss of his voice.
With trembling hands I struggled to dial
999. Please god if your up there hear my
prayers, let my little boy reach 10..
When the doctor arrived he said he couldnt
rule out meningitis. And so my little boy
was rushed off in an ambulance at a speed
that would have given Nigel Mansell a run
for his money.
Thank god for flashing blue sirens.
In silence I prayed for god to give me back
my son.
The curtain may well have been a brick wall
that separated me and my little boy in the
hospital. But he was in good hands I assured
myself and that being the hands of god.
It seemed like a life time before that curtain
came swishing back to have the doctor in
his white coat appear before me.
I gave him lucozade I wiped his brow. I
even put on his favourite videos and smothered
him with all the love I could possibly give.
Where did I go wrong doctor? You did nothing
wrong was his reply.
Just to hear those words that there was
no cause for alarm and that my little boy
was going to pull through, gave me back
all the strength that seemed to have drained
from my body while waiting for the outcome
of this nightmare.
Meningitis symptons had a strong presence
the doctor said. It was a virus on the inside
trying to break out.
Tears of happiness flowed like that of Niagra
falls as I rushed to my little boys side.
Holding him tight kissing and cuddling him
like any natural mother would do.
I had unfinished business to attend to and
that was to thank the man himself up above
for hearing my cry. Now to arrange a ten
year olds birthday party.
The doctor approached me and asked if he
could say something before I left.
Yes of course doctor?
A mother's love is great medicine for comforting
her children
but when it comes to curing them. please
call a doctor.
