Last night was not a good one. I was not able to sleep well because DD1 kept waking up. She must have been gone to the bathroom twenty times in thirty minutes. I am a light sleeper so any movements I am easily awaken. Told her not to worry and I believed she has UTI. That was around two a.m. By Four a.m., she went again about three times.
Why do mothers always worry if her child is sick. It is normal. Small child or big child mothers always worry about her own kids, sick or not. It does break my heart to see any of my children getting sick. I cry inside if I cannot do anything about it. If I can only be a doctor the same moment just get the pain away, I'd do it. Us mothers can only do so much, maybe minor soothing to keep the "ouch" temporarily. What about major illness?
DD1 had a surgery when she was two years old. DD2 had a surgery when she was four or five years old. They have been to ER several times due to sport injuries. They have their share of hospital confinement due to illness. It may be a long night for me to watch or care for them but I am a mother who can't sleep. I wanted to make sure that they were always ok.
The happy feeling in the end is when you see these kids back in their normal life. I allow myself to adjust with the lack of sleep. I know I can catch up some other day.
