Hospital Stays


I had been staying at the hospital these last two weekends. First for Umar, then for Asmara. At least they coincided with weekends, so I didn't need to take too many days off work.

Alhamdulillah my baby is better now - health-wise. Now it's boring for her to stay at the hospital. I did take her outside to get some fresh air but she's still complaining after we came back.

Taking care of sick kids can be exhausting. It hurts my heart and my brain to have to go to work instead of cuddling with any of my sick kids. However, indeed I have to remind myself not to forget the good things we have. Alhamdulillah for the accessible and paid-for medical care that we need (every so often apparently).

Today Amira started to have a fever too. I hope she gets better soon without having to have any needles on her hand. But if she does need it, I am here for her inshaAllah.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: Allah's Messenger said: There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious (Sahih Bukhari)
