Childcare Leave

Dearest Little Skyler,

Poor Little Baby Girl! You were suffering from a very bad cold the whole weekend.

It was so bad that you could hardly breathe, poor Darling. Your nose kept getting blocked and no matter what we did to unblock it, it remained so. As a result, you were so totally unable to sleep as you would keep waking up from your blocked nose i.e. you couldn’t breathe. You also had a fairly high fever thus Mama and Papa got so worried! We immediately informed your Godpa and Godmas to pray for you as well.

We had no choice but to take you to see your doctor (your balloon uncle) who prescribed some medicine for you to take. We immediately gave you the medicine but it took a very long time to act. In the meantime we continued to be very worried.

The next day, you were still quite bad so Papa got permission from his boss to take Childcare Leave so that Papa could stay at home to help care for you. It was a good thing that things at work had slowed down a bit so Papa had nothing urgent to return to work for that day. This was the very first time that Papa had taken childcare leave. It was an interesting experience because Papa never had to think about such a thing before.

Thank God your temperature gradually came down and you began to be a bit better. Praise God for caring and thank God for caring Godparents who prayed for you throughout your illness.

We love you, Little Girl.

Papa and Mama
