I know we are not meant to have favourite but when patients stay in the ward a long time they do just creep into your heart and become so special. We had 2 ladies who were both pregnant with twins who have been with us for 6 weeks and 1 month respectively. They both lived far away and so the safest was for them to stay with us. Also not to mention that if they stay they get a well deserved break at the Hospital hotel . No cleaning, cooking, fetching wood and water. They loved being with us.
Evaline who was with us for 6 weeks was very entrepreneurial and started a little shop by her bed. Selling sanitary pads, baby hats and even socks. She had done her market research well and knew what her captured client base would need.One day I was needing more running socks and as we were doing the round there in the bedside shop I saw a pack of 4. I made my purchase immediately. Saving me a trip to town,
After all these weeks of waiting arriving everyday wondering if these 2 mummies with twins had had their babies, on Tuesday I arrived to find that they were both in labour.
Evaline ended with a C/S and had 2 beautiful little boys 2,9 and 2,5 kg. Sintyati had a vaginal birth with her twins. A little girl and then a boy both weighing 3,1 kg!
Proud Mummy Evaline!

Oh it really was a case of a double blessing all around. It was lovely when the next day they ventured to greet each other and offer congratulations and share their birth stories,
