He is matured now.............

It was a Saturday 11th of August. I had invited few of my local friends for a dosa party. I was feeling very lonely without my mother-in-law and my elder one at home. There was no echo of sound in that big house. My son was most of the time in school participating in some activity or the other. The house was full of laughter. I saw there was a long discussion going on with my son Ashwin. I went and sat beside them. “Auntie, you know I had food poison”, the first statement I heard and one sided conversation went on by Ashwin. My friend before leaving was consoling my son. My mother-in-law had sent his favourite chips from Indore with my husband on Monday. He was not excited at all. I came back from school and counted the chips packet. No change. He went to the school hospital and got some medicine. After 2 days of medication there was no improvement. No fever. I compelled him to have food. On August 15th he could not do the physical drill and came back from school without having breakfast. He said ‘mom, I feeling good without food’. It was his games time on Wednesday; I was worried when he had not returned. I went to his school hospital. ‘Mom, doctor wants to talk to you’. Doctor asked me to go for Hepatits test. ‘What did you tell the doctor’ I asked him. ‘physically: I was tired, sore, have no body clock anymore, feelings of toxicity, nausea and dissiness – all kinds of nasty mix I had’. He was on bed from the next day. I searched materials on net regarding the diet. I have not seen anyone having jaundice. Jaundice can prove fatal if neglected. No oil, no fat. He was on liquid diet. I have seen my mother on liquid diet for a year before she passed away. I was positive and made him too. The drive to go back and play games made him eat anything that I gave him (radish juice). Archana came inside “ Ashwin aapko glucon-D leyke aana bool gayi”. Tears rolled down my eyes looking at her. “Bhabhi send him to me I will take care”. He was ready to go to her home because Archana loves talking. He wrote his feelings on facebook. Phone calls poured in. He was happy talking to everyone and explaining the story again and again. He also felt that the noise level is less at home. I realised. My elder one told me ‘Mom, Ashwin is so matured now’. He was worried that I was concerned about his health and never allowed us to discuss about his health. After 8 days he started accepting solid food. He never showed he was feeling weak those 8 days. He strictly followed the doctor’s and his father’s advice. He said ‘I want people around me; I will take care of my health now’. He is waiting to go back to school.
