INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD


About two weeks ago someone came visiting and had a bad cough. I was wary about the kids but let things go.

Two days later my boys started coughing, I tried topical treatment and by the next day they were coughing so bad that they started vomiting when coughing.

I panicked and against better judgement I got them cough syrups, after a few days it got worse and I went back to the pharmacy and got them a popular antibiotics supposedly used to treat cough. I also got a drug to stop the vomiting.

Just within twenty four hours of using the drug my first started to vomit and stool so bad. I gave oralite and tried to manage the situation.

By the next morning he was so lethargic and complained of not being able to walk. I rushed him to the hospital.
The doctors asked what medication he was on and I started to list all the things he had used to try to stop the cough and vomiting.

The doctor looked at me and said “I have always known you to advocate against self medication, what happened ma”?.

I didn’t have any excuse, so I just muttered an apology under my breathe. My boy had antibiotics induced diarrhea and vomiting.

He was admitted and treated till he could get back on his feet. We went home happily and I promised myself never to try self medicating again. We were slammed with a crazy bill but na me cause am.

I was told if he was brought in when he was coughing he would have been treated faster and wouldn’t have needed to spend so much now.

The day we got home the younger one started vomiting and stooling too, I remembered they had been using the same medications.

I checked online to know what was going on and I read that some people can suffer the side effects of certain antibiotics later , some people even months after .
I have been advised to watch him for few days before bringing him in and keep him hydrated to see if the diarrhea will clear off on its own.

The stress has been crazy, I am waiting for the the seven days to elapse so I can take him while hoping I wouldn’t have to.

Self medication has cost me so much, I am not going down that path ever again.



Ah so sorry and i have been posting about not self medicating oh..... Motherhood will turn you into an emergency doctor!

May your boys get well soon.

People who are sick should not visit others until they are better...Here such is not done, if you are sick stay home and dont spread it....

Next time someone is coughing indoors, please open all the windows and give the person a face mask...If its a visitor quickly get rid of them.

Some people will have runny stomach and go and visit someone and be gong in to shit every ten mins, like seriously? 

Dont share cutleries or drinking cups with anyone coughing whether family or visitor.

PINKYS CORNER

What a wicked world

There is this friend of mine back then (let's call her Bose), she is this kind hearted individual who loves to play around with me and often time, we go for prep together. We lost contact after graduation (2008). I tried getting her contact but all effort proved abortive then I gave up because she was always the type who loves to encourage and wants good things for friends.

 This lady I'm talking was a victim of all subject but she was a bandit when it comes to Mathematics.

Last week Saturday, I was at a wedding ceremony, I met a long time friend. He was my right hand man when we were in NCE but we lost contact. Glory be to God we met again and we began the long time discussion and I asked after Bose. He said he has her number but they don't talk, I was so happy to get her line then we continued with our discussion and even forgot to drop the gift I bought for the couple.

 Imagine me, I was about going home when I remembered I'm still having the gift with me because we were both outside and we talked for almost 3hours.

Yesterday, I called Bose and we began to talk about life(Note: Bose is not yet married). Then I asked her what she has been doing ever since but she said nothing and not only that, she doesn't work, she is always at home sleeping and eating then I asked why? the tears kan start, I thought I was the one who made her cry due to my question but my people, I was taken-aback when she told me that, she was mentally derailed and has been in Psychiatric hospital since a year after we graduated(i.e 2009).

 I was confused, I was about to ask her why she was there, then she continued. She said she was discharged early this year ever since then and she herself doesn't know she has spent such years in the psychiatric hospital.

Two months after being discharged, her father narrated all what happened to her, he said, she left home to go for an interview and he was expecting her but she didn't come home and they started looking for her. 

When they finally found her, she had become mentally derailed and was taken to ARO, during those trying years , they lost their mother and her dad remarried this year and she now stays with her elder brother and they don't allow her go far away from home due to her health.

hmmmmmmmm, I was so speechless and never knew when tears started flowing down my eyes, this is someone that has a very soft heart, always ready to help people and hate to see her friends in a dull moment..

I am just confused, don't know how to help out but I will keep praying..hmmmmm

Truly, we are in a wicked world, where people punish the children because of what their parents did years back, it's a wicked world, where karma at times neglect those who are worth receiving the consequences of their negative actions and straight to an innocent soul.

we move

Did she tell you that someone was behind her predicament? why veer into her parents that it is what they may have done... She may have been mentally sick and it was overlooked until it became serious... A lot of things trigger mental illness oooh... Even reading can trigger it, that type that people do all night drinking coffee and eating all sorts to stay awake without relaxing the brain...It begins to pile up and leads to Yaba left behavior...

Just pray for her and move abeg
