Trauma

I am a Group B Streptococcus carrier.
85% of women are - they just don't know it.
Fever during labour caused Our Son to be admitted into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for observation.
The Group B Strep bacterium may invade Our Son.
Five-day antibiotics course.

Then we took him home.

Friday, 22nd May 2009.
Our Son's follow-up appointment with the paediatrician.
Doctor found Faris has fever.
Rare in neonates.
Faris was admitted, in the ICU again.

Faris' platelet count is low.
Fever spikes now and then.
Today is day 3 of antibiotics.
But no word on what is ailing him.

Kami berserah. Completely to Allah s.w.t.
Tawakkal.
We are terrified.
I want my son in my arms.
So does his Ayahanda.

No mother, no father, no parent -
should ever have to feel what we are feeling.
