My Health, My Wealth

in We Are Alive Tribe10 months ago (edited)

Hello, beautiful people! I trust that you are all doing well. I guess one or two of you must be wondering about why I haven't been active for a couple of days now.

The Past Couple Of Days
So much has been happening on my side(offline), and no matter how much I tried, clearing everything on my plate (as a manner of speaking) has been more of a daunting task.

The Phone Call
Last week Monday, my third child called from her school to alert me and hubby about a resurgence of an ailment that we have been taking her to the hospital to seek a solution for. That singular Phone call was more than enough to cause anxiety for me.

Before Now
We have visited different hospitals, seen different doctors, run different lab tests and been given different prescriptions. None of these was for free of course, and the hospital bills have been telling on our pockets and wallets.

In December, she was placed on admission for three days for close observation, and for that we paid about 100k NGN, excluding the amount we eventually spent to buy the prescribed medication at the pharmacy. So, you can see why I became troubled when I received the phone call.

No Motivation
I found that my motivation dropped, even though I still managed to write a few posts, but then I just couldn't do more.

We managed to book an appointment with a dermatologist (not so easy, but we did) for last Saturday, 10th February. We picked our daughter from school and went to see the dermatologist. We were able to see her, and she gave her recommendations and prescriptions.

Getting the prescribed drugs was another story altogether. We had to comb through different parts of Mowe and Shagamu in search of those medications. That was another level of stress on its own, but we eventually got all but one.

Next appointment is 18th February, 2024. So we have to be ready with the consultation fee and the rest.

Back To My Topic
When we are enjoying good health, our money can be used for other things that will bring progress, and possibly increase our wealth. But when there are health challenges, it affects virtually everything.

I have been feeling low lately, but with prayers and meditation on the Word of God, I am encouraged, and I believe that it will all end in praise. As long as there is life, there is hope.

Please Pray
Can you please leave a word of prayer for my daughter? She will be starting her Senior School Certificate Examinations in a couple of months, and needs to be in good health to study for her exams.

Thank you for reading to this point. I, @ngwinndave, wrote this post. I appreciate the time you spent here. The photos in this post are mine.

I pray for your daughter, and hope she gets well soon and get her certification!

You’re absolutely right, health is always the most important thing. ❤️

Thank you so much for praying, @palomap3 . Amen! I appreciate your kind words ❤. Means a lot to me.

As a person with dermatology problems of my own I empathize with your daughter and pray she gets well soon. In my case it is much milder and as I grew up better vitamin balance has helped. However for kids it is best to follow what the doctor has proposed and ensure that they remain healthy overall. Tell her to never worry about it though. Tell her that such ailments are very common in the world and we are all here to pray for her and help her. Also medical science keeps getting better so we should hopefully keep getting better and cheaper medicines. My big hope for the world is that corruption disappears from the medical profession at least, fingers crossed.

God Bless @ngwinndave . Hopped here as a #dreemerforlife from #dreemport

Thank you so much @brijwhiz . This is so kind of you, and touching too.

I'm sorry to hear about your own issues, yet glad to hear that it is milder.

Thank you for joining to pray for my daughter. This is a great love you have shown to us.

God bless you abundantly, Sir. I am so grateful 🙏.

Sorry to hear about the health issue of your daughter. It's indeed stressful and we all can relate to it. I hope that she gets cured soon.

What's the diagnosis the dermatologist said? Infected scabies? Eczema? Or Psoriasis? Or something else?

#aliveandthriving

There's infected scabies, for which she has been treated again and again. Now, there is the issue of allergy which is still being investigated. I pray we get to the root of the matter as soon as possible.

Thank you for your kind words and wishes. Very much appreciated.

Does she stay in a school hostel or dormitory?

Yes, she stays in the dorm.
The strange thing is that no one else in her hostel has been found to have that kind of experience.
Also, none of her siblings has it.

That's indeed strange. It's a highly contagious condition. I hope that she gets better with the given management.

Which cream or tablets did the doctor prescribe?

The dermatologist prescribed some antibiotics, both oral (levofloxacin) and topical (mupirocin ointment), and also something to stop itching ( levocetirizine and zaditen)

She also recommended avoiding antiseptics and disinfectants. She should be using very mild soap and cream from now on, bath oil or baby oil for bathing, no sponge.

Ok. Adherence to the treatment is important.

Yay! 🤗
