When your child becomes sick

We always see kids that are sick or have an accident and we feel sorry for them but have you ever think about how it feels for the parents and families that go through the ordeal. Recently I had that experience when my daughter had an accident at school and she broke her arm. Although we rushed her to the emergency room where the attendant made her feel a little bit better but advised us to go to the specialist. We just routinely went there thinking that it would be minor case. But we had the shock of our lives when the doctor told her that she would have to go a minor surgery in which she would be under the general anesthesia.

This news was so shocking to me that I cried, that is how it feels when your own child becomes sick. Although my daughter cried initially in pain but was brave enough to face the procedure (surgery) but we as parents were agonizing for the whole 45-50 minutes the surgery went on and were relieved after we saw our daughter. It is really painful to see your child in such a pain and although for the doctor it is a routine matter but when it is your own flesh and blood then you feel the sickening pain and torture that you have to go through.
