PAIN AND PARENTHOOD- How it changed our lives!!!!

" I f you being evil, know how to give good gifts to you r children, then how much more does the Father in heaven!" Matt 7:11. I was carrying the pain bleep for the month of January. I would see patients suffering from post op pain and relieve it with bolus of opioids and anesthetics.  And at dusk I would go around monitoring their discomfort. Alice who was eight months pregnant would insist that she would accompany me. We enjoyed our romantic walks around the wards of Christian medical college. One day as we passed by nursery, the neonatal ICU, Alice said ‘, This place is scary! Very sick kids are kept here .” I nodded and looked around. Parents in anxiety were looking through the glass window to catch a glimpse of their children. ‘They would be feeling horrible no? ” my wife said. ‘I don’t know !’ I replied bothered more about finishing rounds.
