I always hear from mothers that there is nothing like a mother’s touch. I often ask myself what is the miracle behind it. Now that i am a mom myself, i know now what that means…
My baby was diagnosed with asthma since he was 6 months old. We were in and out of the hospital with the huge amount of hospital bills, not to mention the stress it brought us, at our backs. I’ve done research on how to prevent his attacks. From having his room airconditioned, with air purifier always on, changing his pillows to hypo allergenic ones, removing curtains, pets, toys, etc, etc…But, with all those efforts it never prevented his asthma. I’ve came to a point that i am questioning my abilities as a mother because i can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to see my child suffering and i can’t do anything to ease his pain. So i came to the point that i gave up my career to be able to tend to him more. Many people around me can’t understand my decision. But i stood firm with it and until now i am a hands on mom.
The rewards of it, he never have serious attacks anymore. And if ever he will be showing symptoms of it, i can prevent it at once. No hospitals now, no steroids and all that stress we’ve gone through. Now, i have an active, beautiful, healthy, 3 years old son…That is the magic of a mom’s touch!
