DOT 7 : MIGRAINE

Daniel (7+ years old)
 
Mom called Dad frantically. 
Dad said to take You to the private hospital near our condo immediately. So Mom drove like a maniac in that short distance. 
Thankfully, we arrived at the emergency entrance safely. 
At the hospital, the doctor asked for your symptoms, and Mom blurted out everything in one breath. You were on the examination bed, looking quite stable at the time. The doctor checked You, and finally suggested You might have had a migraine attack.

Migraine? 
That came as a complete surprise to Mom. 
Totally unexpected. 
Yes, said the doctor, nausea, vomiting, severe headaches are all symptoms of migraine. Could it be anything else, Mom wanted to ask but hesitated. 
Don’t trouble trouble, or trouble will trouble you. 
Remember the rule. 
That is the rule of the game in our family. Started by Grandpa, confirmed by Aunt Tracy. We know the rules, we play by the rules.
Leave it. It’s migraine. 
 
Justine and You had a lot of fun on this red beetle.
 
 
PRECIOUS CHILD 
By Karen Taylor Good.
 
God sent a complete stranger to email to Mom some very comforting songs, received last night (Jan 26) one of which is PRECIOUS CHILD. His second daughter too is in Heaven. You must have met her and probably told her your mother spends a lot of time listening to songs. She must have whispered to her father to email this beautiful song to Mom. It's difficult to see the video properly with tears streaming down at each line.
