No parent accepts malicious criticism of their child, especially when the criticism is made by a stranger. Every mother loves her child and often may not notice certain defects in her child.
Jenny Murphy, a young mother, was with her 7-month-old boy in a toy store. She was looking for a toy for the child and was paying attention to the shelves of the toy district. An employee of the store approached her and told her directly, without any restraint: “The child’s eyes scare me.”
When she heard this, the child’s mother was very upset and quarreled with the woman in the store. Especially since lately, Jenny was worried that little Billy wasn’t feeling so well and always vomiting the milk she was drinking.
Although she thought the comment was offensive, Jenny sat and thought for a long time about what the woman told her in the store. After a few days, she decided to go to the hospital with the child.
Following thorough investigation and analysis, the doctors gave her shocking news: “Billy has a lethal brain tumor.”
The child’s mother says: “Lately I noticed that Billy was staring at a point, as if he was paying attention to something, but I did not expect my child to have such a diagnosis.”
The child’s mother later found out that the first sign that a child suffers from such a condition is the eyes. The employee of the toy store was right.
“Western eyes are called the condition Billy suffers from, and the eyes are an indication that fluid is leaking into his brain,” Jenny said.
Doctors recommended that the child be operated on, but warned Billy’s family that the chances of survival were very low.
Fortunately, Billy survived the operation and managed to fully recover.
“He is a wonderful baby, even if he is in pain after the operation, he has never stopped smiling.” Said the child’s mother.
