Looking at baby pics, it brings back raw memories of my first born, Val. As a first time mum, I was inexperienced with this tiny human, which did not arrive with a instruction manual. She was a very difficult baby. She drank a little n puke like Merlion which was medically named as projectile vomiting. Two weeks after she was born, we brought her to see a PD in the night after I had that incessant uneasy maternal instinct. Upon examination, PD felt something was really wrong with her. So we admitted Val in the hospital in the middle of the night.
The one week was an ordeal and excruciating for us, this barely two weeks old parents to bear.......she was traumatised when tube had to be inserted to her colon in and out to help her to defecate. My heart broke as I supported her in those procedures. PD told us to pray for her as she might needed a surgery to correct her nerve endings. Thoughts of this tiny infant to go under a knife was beyond what a mum can bear.....
My dad went to the chapel immediately. He knelt there for a long time interceding for his tiny granddaughter. We all prayed earnestly. Finally, the doctors just released her and told us to just use suppositories to help her temporary. That was one of the greatest relief we had. With that slightly light heart, we went home to fight a good fight against colicky wars...., stinky messy clean up cos she couldn't defecate on her own... By her 6 month, She was healed completely and miraculously! Things turned around almost instantly. Soon after that recovery, we even relocate to Shanghai when she turned 8 months! And we stayed for 3 years there!
Now as I look back, I'm filled with awe and gratitude how God has delivered her and watched over this strong princess. She has grown up into one fine young thoughtful and godly lady, all ready to shine for Him and blessing others along her way to dream big!!! What a privilege to be her mum! Indeed it is AMAZING GRACE!!
