My Lonely Mom

Melor 1 is very different from the rest of the other wards, very clean and neat, it's actually a special ward for skin and bone. Mom is well taken care of, nurses are dressing her bedsore everyday and turning her every 2 hrs, but.....visitors only allowed to go in on the exact visiting hours, (strict though) and my maid is only allow to be inside from 4.30pm till 7am. Only 8 patients are in there, therefore it's kind of quiet and peaceful compared to Melor 2. Because of the strict visiting rule, she is left alone most of the time. When l visited her before l go to work everyday, l felt so sorry seeing her lonely frail body lying there motionless, only with her eyes open. Atlease in Melor 2, my maid is with her most of the time and we can just walk in anytime we want. Somehow alittle voice inside me is telling me to bring mom home. l'll try to bring her home on Monday if the neccesary arrangements of dressing her bedsore is confirmed. According to the doctor that l spoke to, we need to do dressing for mom everyday and every two hour we have to change her sleeping position from side to side. Mom is not looking good at all, both her hands are swallon, eyes not as active as last week, infact those pair of beautiful eyes looks lifeless...........

Don't worry, I'm sure you can bring her home soon and she won't be alone anymore because all of you will always be there for her.

My prayers will always be with you,

Is your mom home yet? I'm sure she'll be more comfortable at home. You've made the right choice. So don't fret.
