Greater Responsibility

Few days ago, J played with his cousin, who was down with a flu. They shared everything and J put his hand into his mouth. Don't ask me why he only starts loving to put his fingers into his mouth at this age lol.

Yesterday, he began to have fever at 39 degrees C in the morning. I can't remember when he last had a flu as it was probably before the pan-there-meek.

Ministered healing to him. Wife was concerned, but we have learnt to fight this out instead of depending on doctors and medication. Anyway, she couldn't find medication in the fridge as almost every medication had expired.

Wifey tested him on ART. Not because we trust any of this kit (there are so many real life stories of how inconsistent this kit is), but she simply wanted to be responsible. Anyway there is no difference between a con-vic & a flu. Just a change in name sometimes helps to create more fear, and fear is the one that leads to worse symptoms.

He was tested negative. By afternoon, his temperature was back at 36.8 degrees C.

Many might think that this is not being responsible as a parent, when you don't bring your kid to the doctor.

I tend to think otherwise. We are taking a bigger responsibility by not handing our responsibility to others including the doctors. At the end of the day, they won't be taking any responsibility if anything happens to your child. What they can only say is... "Sorry. We tried our best."

Then I rather that I try my best first as my child's parent, before I hand him over to anyone else. Because Jesus is the most trustworthy Person you can find in the midst of a dark world where saving people is no longer the main objective of the medical arena.
