Four days after Alycia’s finger surgery, we returned to SJMC for her follow-up checkup with the Hand and Microsurgery surgeon. This was the first time I had the opportunity to meet and speak with the doctor since Alycia’s admission. During her hospital stay, the surgeon did his ward rounds early in the morning, before I arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the checkup, the doctor carefully removed the bandage to examine Alycia’s wound. He noted that the blood had dried up, a positive sign indicating the start of the healing process. As we talked, I learned just how severe Alycia’s injury had been. The wound required many stitches, and the surgeon had found glass fragments embedded in her finger. It was a shocking revelation that highlighted the severity of the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surgeon seemed puzzled by how Alycia managed to break the glass container in such a way that it caused such a deep and serious cut. The accident seemed almost freakish in nature. It was a painful reminder of how quickly and unexpectedly such incidents can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alycia’s next appointment with the surgeon is scheduled for this coming Thursday, when her stitches will be removed. I am hopeful that the healing process will continue smoothly and that her finger will fully recover without any complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accident still brings a rush of anxiety and fear each time I replayed the sequence of events on my head. I almost lost my mind worrying about Alycia’s injury and the potential long-term impact. As a parent, seeing your child in pain and not being able to immediately fix it is one of the hardest experiences to endure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fervently pray that such accidents never happen again to any of my children, myself, or any of my loved ones. This incident has been a stark reminder of how fragile and precious life is, and how quickly it can change in an instant. Moving forward, we’ll be more cautious, but I also understand that sometimes, despite our best efforts, accidents can still happen. All we can do is hope, pray, and support each other through these tough times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
