Life is uncertain
Recently, my 19 year old son suddenly fall ill, and got hospitalized for almost 2 weeks. He was diagnosed for lung infection, stomach ulcer bleeding and bone infection. All of these resulted from army training.
Lying on his bed, I witnessed a young life suddenly weakened within 2 to 3 days, and he was gasping for air for few days in the bed. At that time, I wish I could take over his suffering from him at any price. Luckily, the specialist doctors were at present, and effectively identified all the bacteria in his infected body. Right drugs were used, and they have successfully brought him back to the right track of recovery.
I have analysed the situation for him: partially he has not taken good care of his physical fitness and conditions. If he had done so, he could be eased from these sufferings. I believed he had taken this lesson in the bitter way. He started to monitor his heart rate and body temperature daily. And also aware of his intake of food and water quantity.
His told his friends that it was a horrible experience in his life. He would not like to have it again in the future.
Life is always very unpredictable. When disease strikes, and our body does not have enough resistance, there goes our precious life! I always believe by doing regular exercise and invest on our condition of health, could keep us out of lots of unnecessary sufferings.
Alas! He has finally on the route of full recovery. I am free of worrying him then.

Thank you Auntie Alice. I appreciate your concern. My son is on his way to full recovery.
We saw another similar case reported in newspaper, the poor NS boy died. Sad. I believe the parents of this boy would be very painful, I feel the pain when I read it.
