Last evening, Mom was helping me with Brayden so that I can settle my renovation stuff that I need to bring and show my contractor today. Something she said, made me feel sad and kept thinking about it.

“希望明天去看医生时，医生说你不需要开刀”

I corrected Mom’s sentence. Told her that surgery is inevitable in Bray’s case, and it is just a matter of how extensive the whole procedure might be (I hope it’s a superficial one). She was saddened. I saw her eyes red…

“可怜，小小年纪就要去开刀。不好的让婆婆来承受，让你健康长大。”

I can’t really sleep well last night. Was tossing and turning in bed, thinking about the scan on Friday. When Brayden was frail and weak as a newborn, I made a promise to Guanyin that I will be a vegetarian on the 1st and 15th of every lunar month in retun for Brayden’s good health. I think a Mom would do anything for their kid(s).

Ethyl kept asking me if Brayden needs to stay at the hospital. I assured her that our little guy will be back tomorrow when she returns from school. She told me the same old thing, “Mommy, if didi goes operation and you don’t want me to go, I will stay at home and I will cry for him.”

She will hug our boy and stroke his face “Poor thing Brayden, be brave ok?”
