Rescue 3&4&5

We had just come back from hospital. Lilybel was few days old. The girls were excited and it was difficult to keep their hands off of the baby.

Andrea had some fruits in a porcelain plate and was eating with a fork in the bed. I was nursing the baby..and Amy was jumping from one bed to another. They were turning a deaf ear to my warning not to jump or bring food to the bed. The thotil was on one side of bed and Amy was using it to swing from one bed to another. I most of the time end up enjoying their craziness, and save any effort from getting angry and screaming.

I was actually helpless. I needed help yo get up and walk...my stitches were still sore..I had no energy to scream. That would be a more apt statement. That is when it happened. Amy was swinging from one bed to other and returning back, when she lost balance and hit Andrea on the head with her legs. Both girls tumbled near my feet. Had they fallen on me, lilybel would have been crushed. Andrea hit her head on the bed frame. The porcelain plate crashed into pieces. The fork did not poke anyone! It was only miracle that all of us escaped unscathed.

The girls were too shocked to cry.  I can't thank God enough for protecting us all!

Rescue 4:
It was 10 days after surgery. I was at the doc's to get my stitches removed. My friend had said it was just a 2 minute work. Won't be painful at all. The doctor was talking to me while removing, that she instead of pulling the thread out, she cut both ends. She realized what she did in a second,but it was too late. There was panic in the room. Frantic search for other tools to try to get the now stuck stitch from my lower abdomen was futile. There was tense discussion between the nurses. The doc went out to call a surgeon. After the call, doctor tried to get it out, but wasn't successful. She said, it won't be trouble if it is left inside after all it's a small thread. She then said, can you come again, to xx hospital. We'll have the surgeon see you,himself.

As I was sitting there, the gravity of the issue hadn't really sunk in. Something simple had gotten complex. Doctor had tried her best. She called the hospital herself and made an appointment over phone. For me. She asked that it should be his first appointment and said she'll come at that time as well. Everything happened so fast... I somehow was not scared or worried. Nothing is difficult for God and it didn't happen without his knowledge. The doctor left. Lilybel was crying, so nursed her and was booking for ola.to get back home. One of the nurses came and asked if I can wait for few more minutes. A senior nurse wanted to see me. Thinking doc had asked so, I said ok. It took another hour for the nurse to come. I was tired, and wanted to lie down.
After an hour, I told the nurse that I can't wait too long. I can wait for 10 more.minutes and then I'll book ola .she said ok. After 10m with no sign of.nurse, I booked ola. And who rushes in after 5 mins? The head nurse! She quickly took me inside and had it checked out. She said it will hurt a little, just bear it . And in 1 min, she took it out! Just like that. It hurt a little, but it was a miracle she got it out, when doc couldn't. And God had been merciful to this undeserved sinner! I took the same booked ola! Isn't he amazing!

Rescue 5:

Lilybel was in thotil sleeping. Our maid akka was on leave. Me and athai were in kitchen, me cleaning vessels and athai chopping vegetables...we heard lilybel slightly whimpering. Knowing she's waking up, before I could wash my hands and go get her, we heard a loud thud and her crying her heart out. My mil was the first to rush and lift her. She had tried to turn over n thotil and she fell over. Praise God, the mosquito net held her head high! But her rest of the body was on the floor, but inside the net! My mil was in tears as she took the lil one out. It was God's grace, she was unscathed.
Praise be to God for his faithfulness and protection all throughout the day and year!
