"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me".
~John 14:1
One night, my body wanted to sleep and rest so at 7:00pm my Zd and I were going to sleep. After our night routine, reading Bible story and praying, exchange words ("good night Zd", "good night mama", I love you Zd", I love you mama" and hug each other) I turned the lights off and had a good night sleep.
After eight hours of sound sleeping, at 3:00 am I noticed that my Zd bear keep hugging me and I was not comfortable. I felt that there is something wrong. I woke up and turned on the light, checked my Zd boy and to my surprise, he was chilling and very pale his red lips turned almost white and he had really dark eye bags. I checked his toes and feet, they were all pale!
While looking at my kid I remembered, when Zd experience this the first, my mother would just get the vinegar and put it on his whole body and under arms and after couple of minutes, I think it's about 5-10 minutes lumabas ang init ng katawan ni Zd bear at unti-unting nawala ang panginginig nya.
I thought that experience would not happen to him again, unfortunately, it did. I grabbed Zd boy immediately and got his Paracetamol on my medicine kit, I had no time to check his temperature. But sadly, we didn't have a vinegar! I wrapped Zd boy in a blanket and we went going outside at 3:am running to find vinegar. But I almost cried kasi sarado pa lahat ng tindahan at naalala ko na may tindahan pala na mas malapit samin. I knocked the door without thinking na makadisturbo ako, kasi ang iniisip ko is malagyan agad si Zd ng vinegar. I thanked God when the door opened. Nanay Kareng gave a vinegar and put it on ZD's body, after a few minutes unti unting lumabas ang init ng katawan nya at nawala na ang panginginig nya at unti unti nawala ang pamumutla nya.
After this experience happened, I thank God because He gave me wisdom to stay focused instead of panic. I knew what to do because of His guidance.
If you ask me why why my mother used vinegar before and why it worked? I have no idea. But this is amazing because it's proven and tested. Right now my Zd bear is okay and doing well.
The Word of God says that "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God;"
Did you experience that your kid is suddenly had convulsion? What did you do?
Thanks mommies for sharing!
thank God ok na baby boy mo. And thank you for sharing about the vinegar it could be handy pala kaya dapt ndi nawawalan nito sa kusina natin.
ReplyDeleteThank you sis Arra, oh yeah, even me right now di na ako nawawalan ng vinegar :)
DeleteI have no idea about vinegar so if I'm in your situation, I will just rush him in the ER. Mang-istorbo din ng kapitbahay para may makasama if hubby is not around. :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe yeah, without any questions as in when your in the situation di muna iisipin kong nakadistub kana.
DeleteI know how it feels when our little ones are sick and I'm glad that your Zd is okay now. But the vinegar, I didn't know it's that effective. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYeah,thank God! Thank you sis :)
DeleteIt's also God's gift that he opened the doors for you. I didn't know that vinegar can do that. It's a great thing to know. I will keep this in mind. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope Zd will continue to be okay.
ReplyDeleteThank you sis, and God bless you!
DeleteI haven't gone through it but my friend does. According to her, it isn't just the first time her daughter experienced convulsion, I guess she told me it happened twice already. What she just told me to do is to cold sponge bath her daughter after giving paracetamol. Well, I haven't heard about vinegar yet but if next time your son gets high temperature, you may give a try to sponge bath him after taking paracetamol. that helps in case you run out of vinegar.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this helpful tip sis, yes next time I will apply this to my kid.
DeleteOh really, the love and care for your baby but that's the way mother loved their kids. Panic can be cured through this situation. Hope it will good...I mean always great.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree sir. Thank you so much.
DeleteOh no, that is a scary situation but glad your handsome is okay. I remember when my daughter had an allergic reaction to soy milk, I was about to pass out of nervousness.
ReplyDeleteYes, but thank God he is well now. Motherhood is like a roller coaster sometime!
DeleteWhen our babies get sick we get paranoid and feel helpless. I am so glad that ZD is fine now. Stay healthy baby boy.
ReplyDeleteThank you sis, have a nice day!
DeleteI can fully understand how you felt when your child was sick. Glad to know he's ok now.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I'm chillin but right now he's fine. Thanks
DeleteI'm glad you had the presence of mind to think clearly and attend to your kid's needs. I am very fortunate that my daughter never had convulsions when she was having fever. Though, we always brought her to the emergency room in the nearest hospital because she had bouts with asthma. Thankfully, she's now 18 and has not had any bouts with asthma.
ReplyDeleteI used to cry and panic too when she got sick bec my hubby was abroad. It was just me and the 2 nannies. It was a cycle until my daughter reached around 7 when I noticed she wasn't getting sickly.
Just be calm and always keep extra medication and stuff that you will need when there is an emergency especially in ungodly hours.
Like you my husband is also in abroad and thank God because He always gave wisdom every time my is ill. And that's why as long as I can I buy all those medicines for fever and so fort. But I'm so helpless that time. But still God is good.
DeleteAwww sorry to hear what happened to your baby. Good thing you're alert and their is this Vinegar magic :)
ReplyDeleteYes, supper! T'was an amazing magic heheheh!
DeleteHindi ko alam vinegar puwede pala, what is the cause of his convulsion? Siguro kung ako ER agad, I am lucky that my mom and dad is with me kaya siguro madali ko sila magising
ReplyDeleteThe cause of his almost convulsion is his fever na sa ilalim at yung init nya di makalabas. Ganyan kasi sya lagi pag nilalagnat pag di nababantayan. kasi mukhang walang lagnat eh ang hyper pa din.
DeleteCircumstances like this make us want to thank God for the wisdom, ung bigla mo nalang talaga maiisip. Kahapon, may LBM si Nate, as in basang basa pupu nya tapos pupu sya ng pupu. Kagabi, bigla kong naisip na dapat pala pinakain ko agad ng saging kaya ayun, napalabas si Arnel sa Gitnangbayan nipalit ug saging. Thank God, OK na dayon si Nate. Mga ingon ani nga panahon, we know nga naa jud si Lord naga guide.
ReplyDeleteDapat jud d i gaw dili magpawala ug saging pud sa balay, hehehhe very helpful.simpleng mga bagay na talagang kailangan pala natin, ok na si nate?
DeleteIt must have been a very scary experience for you Am glad that he is okay now.
ReplyDeleteYes but thank God everything is well now. Thanks :)
