2-year-old son of a nurse eagerly waits for his mother to return home

Annie Christian, is a nurse in Gotri hospital and has been involved in the duty since the beginning of the Covid crisis. Her two-year-old son asks her during the video call- “When are you coming?”, “Why don’t you come?”. Her son stays with his grandmother at Jambughoda for his safety since the beginning of the crisis. The couple has not been able to visit their son for a month.

On the other hand, elderly patients undergoing treatment in the ward, ask them, “Why don’t our relatives come to see us?”.

Annie said that prayer and a spiritual atmosphere gives courage and strength. She constantly prays for the safety of patients, doctors and all the health colleagues, both at home and in church. while giving medications to the patient, she talks to them to ease their pain. She also added that often when the patients talk to their family on video call from their phone they feel relieved. 

Doctors in the ward bathe the elderly patients and the nurses help in feeding them. They try to provide family-like care, which relieves the patient from feeling lonely.

At present, nurses, doctors, and other caregivers all have to keep a safe distance from their children and families. This has been the situation for almost a year and a half, but, without giving up, these people are doing life saving efforts.
