My Positive Thinking was challenged

What happened last week really challenged my belief in positive thinking. I was very upset and sad to learned about my son falling down and fracture his neck axis bone. He was hospitalized for 4 days and now he is back home for 2 months recovery. The toughest job now is for him to get into the life of having a halo fixed between the shoulder and the head. It's not easy, he was in discomfort. He got rashes all over his body as it's been many days since his last bath. Looking at him suffering is really draining my positive energy.

However, I can't afford to be weaken. I cannot let it affect me. He needs me, and I need to make him as comfortable as possible in his road to recovery. It's not an easy task, and I had my back strained last 2 months ago and I have to carry him around. Besides I need to get back to work after days of absence, and I got a helper to look after my son.

All I have to say is, without that positive energy, I would have broken and was unable to think and do things properly. Without it, I would not be able to lead my kid to recovery and not able to concentrate at my work.

A lot of prayers go into this period of tough time as the faith to stay positive is essential. I cannot break down. I must think positively and I wish for his speedy recovery.

*My son had learned an important lesson in life and at this young age, he will recover fast.
