Dear Mummy,
My most memorable memory with you was the day I was admitted to the hospital due to breathing difficulties in the middle of night. To be exact, I am a bronchitis patient. The doctor advised me not to take sweet and cold food because it’ll cause phlegm and will get stuck in the breathing tube.
That night was really killing me. I was sent to Sunway Hospital by my sister and you. Nurses checked on me and said I should’ve been admitted earlier as my oxygen level was very low.
She gave me the oxygen inhaler and then admitted me immediately for health and safety reasons.
It was my first time being admitted. The feeling of fear and butterflies in my stomach made me want to cry ... I didn’t want to and never dared to stay in the hospital because I always read of horror stories in such a place.
When the visiting hours were over, the nurses asked you to leave, you tried so hard to convince them to let you stay in the ward with me.
The kind nurses there accommodated you that first night. You slept on the chair beside my bed for the whole night. I could not imagine how uncomfortable it was to sleep while sitting, without a proper bed and pillow.
Somehow the medicine I took made me weak and dizzy. Whenever I moved or rolled over on bed, you would be awake to ask me if I wanted water or food. I couldn’t hold back my tears and felt so thankful to have you in my life.
I love you mum! You’re the reason why I’m still surviving even though I have gone through ups and downs.
Your daughter, Tho.
