At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes

Day 2 in Lourdes (evening) …
Thankfully, we had packed some medication in case of emergency, steroids to reduce pressure in the brain and anti-fit pills.
Your doctor would normally prescribe that for a few days, while scheduling You for operation.
At one time, Justine and You followed Grandma to Penang to attend Uncle C’s wedding in November 2007, and You apparently fell from your bed in the hotel with a loud thud, waking Justine and Grandma up.
They were shocked to find You on the floor having a seizure.
Grandma frantically called Mom (in KL) over the phone and said that she could not wake You up.
You can imagine how Dad and Mom felt, getting a call like that, especially when You had never (ever) had a seizure before.
That was your first time away from us.
Mom urgently asked Grandma to call Uncle Chris (KL).
Grandma did.
Uncle Chris prayed for You over the phone, and after the prayer, Grandma said, at Amen, You opened your eyes.
Now You can understand why we are reluctant to let You out of our sight. When You went for your church camps, Dad and Mom had to book into a hotel nearby, for our own peace of mind.
Anyway, we never thought of packing your medication with You on that trip to Penang.
