Mama Drama

I was hoping to be wrong but unfortunately, I was not.
It’s bronchitis, the doctor said.
Barely a month since his hospitalization, Matt was prescribed an antibiotic again. Of the 3rd generation, I might add.
*can you sense my unhappiness?*
Anyway, I know this stage will pass and I have faith God will heal him.

Mama, Coffee Please.

I AM giving my son coffee. Yes I do.
 
 
It all started when he told me, ” Mama, I want coffee.”
 
 
Whaaa–t. Mouth agaped.
 
 
But always trying to be reasonable, I told Matt No, coffee is not for kids…yaddi, yadda.

Now, we’re trying to check things i.e. houses, househelp etc… My husband and I are really discussing arrangements.
For the meantime that we’re still working on the plan, I’d like to bring Matt to a […]

A Good Bike Might Help Him

I and my officemate who also had an asthmatic kid were talking about kids and asthma a few days. According to him, when his kid was at my son’s age, he also had coughing attacks then. While we were discussing, he brought up the issue of not letting his play outside for fear […]
