I still remember it clearly. My son's school teacher called me up to say that my son had a little accident in school. She assured us it was nothing but asked us to come over as he was crying. Hubby and I were together doing some last minute CNY shopping as we were leaving next morning for our yearly chinese new year reunion dinner.
We rushed to school and on the way, I called his teacher to ask if I could talk to my son. She said she didn't think it was a good idea. His hand was in pain and he was crying. My heart stop a beat when I heard the word "HAND". I asked her.. "Is it his left or right hand?" .. and she answered LEFT. I cried aloud. Tears of frustration and fears came rolling down while I told hubby, "It's his LEFT HAND!!".
We got to the school and the guards ushered us to the main office. I ran leaving my husband behind. I couldn't wait to see my son. There he was sitting and crying. Beside him his teacher, the headmistress, some teachers and voluntary uncles. One uncle went "Aiya... you ah !! That's your son??" ... I bit my lips and just ran to my son.
There he was with his left hand .. and my deepest fear were confirmed. He fractured his arm!! Yes.. he fractured his arm AGAIN!! And not just AGAIN... but for the 3rd time !!!
I quickly grabbed my baby napkin in my bag and folded it into a triangle and made into a sling. Third time experiences.
He had surgery AGAIN! Waking up in the OT, he said "Thank you Mommy for taking care of me ...AGAIN". I kiss his forehead & cried as he dozed off.
