What an unfortunate week!

Finally, mommy has the chance to sit down to write this post. The last week of january had been a pretty tough one for mommy and daddy. First of all, mommy had a bad fall on that Tuesday outside the house on my way back from my wellness checkup. After parking the car, mommy was hurrying to go back to the house to relieve daddy so that he could go to work. However, little did I realise that I stepped on a black ice on the ground. As a result, I slipped and fell on my back. It hurt my back so terribly that I couldn't get up at that moment and my vision was blurred suddenly. I tried calling for daddy, but it took daddy quite awhile before he realised it as all the windows were tightly shut to keep the cold out of the house. When daddy opened the door, he was shocked to see mommy on the ground. Knowing that mommy had a fall, he quickly carried mommy to the house and gave me some water to calm me down. It took me quite awhile to recover from the fall. I was also feeling very naueous too at that time, perhaps because I did not take my breakfast in the morning.
Worst of all, daddy told mommy that Sheri was not feeling well. She had a bad cough and a terrible runny nose. That was the first time Sheri was sick ever since she was born, so mommy and daddy were quite inexperienced in taking care of her. After having a bad fall, mommy was clearly not in a good shape to take care of Sheri, so daddy decided to cancel his meeting on that day to stay at home to take care of Sheri and mommy. For the rest of the day, I had no choice but to spend most of my time on the bed. However, being a mother, I could not help but worry about Sheri most of the time. Later in the day, mommy decided to take some painkillers to numb the pain so that she could help take of Sheri. We called up the children's healthcare to inform them of Sheri's condition and see if we could bring her down for an appointment on that day. Guess what! After hearing about Sheri's condition, they do not regard her case as an emergency, so they refused to schedule an appointment for us. When mommy asked the nurse for some medication for Sheri, the nurse just told mommy that they do not encourage giving any medication for kids under 2 years old and all we had to do is to give her warm water to dissipate the flam in her throat and turn on the humidifier in the room to curb her runny nose. It sounds ridiculous, isn't it?
Next day, we noticed that Sheri was running a fever. Mommy immediately called the childeren's healthcare to see if we could bring her to see the doctor. Once again, they refused to schedule an appointment for us as they feel that it is not an emergency. All they want us to do is to give her fever-relief medicine and monitor her temperature. We could only bring her down if her fever did not subside the next day. It really broke our hearts to see Sheri feeling so miserable. Hence, we had no choice but to get her some children's medication over the counter based on our intuition. Fortunately, Sheri seemed to get better the next day.
Since Sheri was feeling much better, mommy decided to see a doctor for her backpain on Friday. I took an X-ray. The X-ray results shows that I could have possibly fractured my sacrum, so they referred me to an orthopedic for further treatment.
The beginning of this year did not seem to go very well for us, as we were overwhelmed by too many events which happened one after another. Hopefully, things will get better soon.
