Friday is always the day that I look forward in a week. Not because it will be Saturday the next day, just simply because Leia will spend the night at my in laws place, and for once in a week, I can be me, without anymore title, no more teacher, and no more mom, just me. I usually spend it with my friends, or just by myself. On that day only, I can wear clothes that I can’t wear if I were with Leia. A mini skirt for example, I can never wear that while I have to run after her, or carry her around. So, my Friday, and me I love my Friday!
Last Friday was not like my ordinary Friday. It started out well, I went to Plaza Indonesia with my dear friend Alia, we had snack, chit chatted as usual, then we proceeded to grocery shopping at the pricy supermarket they have in that mall. I love grocery in this store, they have everything from local to outer space, with of course pricy price. Anyway, around 7-ish, I received a phone call from my husband, to inform me, that Leia fell down from the bed, she was jumping and fell down, then she threw up. Later that day, she had dinner and she threw up again. My heart stopped for a minute I think! I couldn’t think of anything! My husband suggested for me to call my father in law. So, I did, he told me what happened, and at that time, Leia was okay, she was watching her Barney show. I spoke to her, just to make sure that she was okay. Lot things came up in my mind, she had a concattion, brain damage, the worst thing that could happen to her, and I couldn’t bear to face that. I was so angry to the situation I guess, and why did my father in law had to call me late that evening, he should call me right after the accident happened. That what we should do at school. Right after the accident, call the parents! So, when I reached home, my husband came up with the plan, that we spent the night in my in law’s house and tomorrow morning we will take Leia to see a doctor. So, we did!
When we got there, my father in law right away hug me, and told me that everything was fine. Leia was talking and still active as her usual self. Leia was asleep at the time we got there. Then, we just have to wait till morning.
The next day, we woke up early, even before our daughter rose up from the warm pillow. When I saw her, she was okay, even though, I felt that I needed to take her to the doctor, and have her, x-ray, ct scan, everything that a doctor could possible do to make sure that she will be okay for the rest of her life. So, instead of going to see a doctor, I called my comfort group, which consists of my mother, and my very best friend. They all suggested different things to me, but at the end, I just have to calm my heart, and tell myself, that infect Leia is okay.
Being a parent is just letting your heart walk outside your body! How true is that!!!
My Friday night this time, was really feverish for me.
