DOT 48 : DAZED

Daniel (7+ years old)

The doctor then asked, “Daniel, do you know where You are?” 

Very tiredly, You tried to open your heavy lids yet again, and attempted to look up to your doctor without moving your head, your expression slightly dazed. 

Sluggishly, You replied in a lethargic voice, “Hospital.”

You closed your eyes again. 

The doctor’s next question, “Daniel, do You feel any pain?” 

At this point, Mom found herself not breathing. This time, You did not bother to open your eyes, but gave the slightest shake of your head. 

Mom exhaled with relief and inwardly said a prayer praising God for watching over You.

The doctor bent down towards You, and said in assuring words into your ear, that You were doing good and that he was going to have a word with Dad and Mom just outside your bay. 

You did not respond.

It was quite obvious that You were fast asleep. Dad and Mom were very grateful that You were no longer in pain and You seemed to be resting quite comfortably then.

The doctor informed Dad that he had sent the specimen extracted during the surgery to the lab for a biopsy, and they would get back to him with the results in a few days. 

He left after instructing the nurse that, 

“Daniel’s mother will be staying overnight in the ICU...”
