Taking care of children

Did you know Nathanial is still in his diapers in the night? We've tried ways and means to train him but no natter what time we wake him up, he'll surely wet himself before hitting the toilet. I didn't realise this could be a problem requiring physiotherapy treatment. True enough, as soon as I told the polyclinic doctor, he told me there's nothing he can do but send Nathanial to KKH to the 'Bedwetting Unit'. Wow, how could I be so misinformed?!!

Nathanial has seen the KKH doctor once already, passing all preliminary tests. Tomorrow he will visit the physiotherapist to fix a equipment on him, a form of alarm linked to a pad or diaper or something like that and will immediately buzz once it detects the slightest bit of urine. Fingers crossed this works, if not he'll have to be put on medication.

Sometimes I do see myself as a 'little god', with 2 children to attend to. And that is nightmarish enough. 1 is always seeing specialists for GPs can't cure him, another probably sang too much "London Bridge is Falling Down", she hasn't stopped faling down and hurting herself since stepping into P1. O Lord, what a task you must have working 24x7 watching over everyone of us! How almighty and powerful you must be! 2 kids are enough to kill me, but you have to watch over all of us. And never show favouritism too, so long we obey Your commands. It is times like these that I realise what a big bear hug from You, like I've never grown up before.

O Lord, please let Nathanial's appointment at the psysiotherapist go smoothly tomorrow and let him be cooperative. He is already feeling inferior to the sister, and I hope to erase 1 inferior factor away from him before working on others.

In Jesus' most precious name, Amen.
