Covid destroyed the families ....
3 months ago.... everything was good... yeah we had a lots of problems but that's life...
We had are own family time... drinking tea together, cracking silly jokes,watching south indian movies,.....
Papa always scared of covid... he always take extra precautions.. sometimes is was so irritating, he restricted us going outside because of covid fear...
One day my mom got low grade fever. Papa took her to hospital for covid test. Till evening my mom fever got reduced. She had only a little cold.... we thought it's a normal viral
After 2 days my mom covid test came positive.. it was shocking... how is this possible???
We have quarantine her, papa restricted us to go near mom. He had taking care of mom.
I was just counting days when this 15 days over and everything get back to normal....
My papa talk to doctor who treating covid patient. They prescribed medicine said it's just a mild symptoms, don't worry about it, take her to CT scan after 3 days of medication.
Then My papa got high fever, he also started the same medicine. They did CT scan.
My papa's CT Score was low, but my mumma CT Score was high.
Doctors said my mumma need a hospitalization or if you don't want to hospitalized then oxygen cylinder must needs.
You know the scarcity of oxygen and hospital during 2nd wave.
After a lots of struggle we got her to a private covid hospital.
Next day they shifted mumma to ICU.
She was on ventilator... little by little mumma's condition getting better. One day doctor said to mumma "you want to go home early?? your report are so good."
We were so happy... finally... but the next day report mumma infection increased 10 times.. How?? No idea!!.
Papa's condition deteriorated.. we can't afford to hospitalized papa because everyday mumma video call to papa through jiju's phone.. she was not in condition to take stressed. Then my grandfather died...
Medicine were not working on mumma.
We shifted her to AIIMS Non covid ICU.
They incubated her. (Yeh tho maine sirf kdrama me dekha tha..)
We shifted papa to hospital.
I got a news my bua died and One same evening mom was so serious. She had a Pneumothorax. doctor give us ultimatum that 1.5 hours is left for my mumma.
Whole night we prayed to god... doctor said if her oxygen not increased then high chances of brain dead.
After 7 hours her oxygen started increasing. Her brain working perfectly. It's just a miracle...
Doctors did Tracheotomy for getting better results.
Her every vital were normal the only problem was her lungs.
After 2nd day of her Tracheotomy I went to see mumma.
Her eyes was closed. So I called "mumma, are sleeping??" She just nodded.
I said "you just take a rest.. ok .... I am here only" she again nodded.
Suddenly her body shacking. She opened her eyes... she was crying. It's heartbreaking...
I consoled her.
Same evening my sis called me to meet mumma and get back home. She is coming.
I again went to her room to meet her, doctor doing something with her and it was so painful.
She doesn't want to open her mouth... "mumma plz for me. You will cure early.. plz"
She looked at me and opened her mouth...
After doctor left... she looked at me and wanted to say something... i tried to her understand but samjh hi nhi aaya
She looked scared..... very scared.....
First time in my life I saw mumma scared...
I got scared. I said her "don't worry.... I am here only... ok... you just take a rest...."
Every 2 seconds she opened her eyes and looked at me.
Approx after one and half, my other sis come and said "what taking you so long, let's go home".
I said "I will not left my mumma here like this. She is scared..."
She said "di is on the way... we have to go home"
I said my mumma "we are going home... mumma"
She looked at me with soo painful, disappoint, like bit angry and hopeless expression.
And it's break my heart.... I know i will never forget this expression in this life...
I left hospital with heavy heart because now is my di turn to visit hospital.
"I prayed to god... plz tomorrow come fast... I want to meet mom..."
After one hour and half my di called me "mumma oxygen level is getting low.... doctor is trying.... just pray."
Two hour later she said mumma is on full ventilator,(I don't what that's means) her oxygen level increased but her heart stopped working, doctor are giving her CPR."
And then everything is over....
What remains is the grief for a lifetime.....
@bold exactly... my grandfather was also like second father to me....
This is so heartbreaking! Thank you for sharing, and I hope you find the strength and courage to fight your situation, heal yourself and your family and emerge victorious! Take care and please stay strong ❤️
