Another day, another adventure for Baabunni. Yesterday was a fun day as Appa and Divya decided to put the cycle to good use and took turns to cycle around the campus. Afternoon Divya joined me in the OPD for a while and later, we (Pa Di Suraj Sujay and I) went to Reliance Trends for some shopping.
Sujay also began to show attempts to sit intermittently between all his crawling and standing attempts. :)
Yesterday was Appa’s birthday and he and Divya drove from Mysore to Karkala in a record 6 hours. It was also Doctor’s Day and it was wonderful to receive so many messages and heartfelt wishes. One that touched me was a message from the parent of one of the children I treated at MMC. I was truly surprised and humbled that they remembered me.
I am truly grateful that my family supported and encouraged me in my pursuit of becoming a doctor. The journey has been rocky but their support never faltered.
As a part of the celebrations for Doctors Day, members of the Rotary community had come to the hospital to wish all the doctors and they took time to individually wish and greet all the doctors of the hospital. This was followed by the greetings from the management team. The cutest gesture was from the tiny tots of Vardhaman school who came to our hospital to wish all the doctors. In the evening there were fun filled games for the doctors followed by snacks.
After this, we came home and cut a cake for Appa and had a small event to celebrate his birthday. It was good to celebrate his birthday together in Karkala.
Sujay was eager to see so many people in the house and was happily interacting with everyone with his babbling.
We also said Hi to Snoyee and her 5 pups!
Yesterday Baabunni treated us to a verbal bonanza of responses. He has now progressed to a musical type of response to questions and ‘Bababa’ has entered the vocabulary. After work, We took a trip to Udupi for some purchases and I drove for a small segment. Baabunni got to sit in the shopping cart and we wheeled him around Spar Supermarket.
We also had a lot of things to eat at Tropical Cafe while Sujay munched on carrot sticks and also had some avocado.
Sujay woke up crying at night but luckily he calmed down after a while and slept well.
