First Bite

The daughter of one of the helpers in our house bit Sandy last night on the hand. I believe they were fighting over this toy brush. The other kid took it while Sandy was playing with it so normally, she will want it back. They chased each other outside then I heard some whining so I followed them in the other room and saw that Sandy was still trying to get the brush. Their backs were turned so I wasn’t sure what they were doing exactly. All of a sudden, Sandy cried so hard while shaking a bit, her right hand stretched outward and peed on the floor. I checked her hand, which she wouldn’t let me touch, and saw deep, red bites just below her thumb. I know it hurt really badly because of the way she cried. I have this sign to look for if she’s really in pain - mouth won’t close, eyes closed tightly, body part not moving. And did I mention that she peed? She already went to the toilet 15 minutes ago so she must felt something really bad to pee again.

I didn’t know how to react about what happened. I know they’re just kids. But she’s my daughter. And she was the one who got hurt. Naiinis talaga ako. But I can’t say anything.

    naku naman! i understand how you feel, bein a mom myself. kaya nga pag naglalaro si abby sa playground o kung saan man, si hubby ang nagbabantay. mapapaaway kasi ako pag may nangapi sa anak ko! i hope kinausap mo yung kasambahay ninyo para nalaman niya at napagsabihan yung bata. i hope gumaling na agad ang sugat ni sandy. here’s a kiss for her booboo…mmmmwah!

    Hi Aggie, actually natulala kasi ako. And I didn’t know if pwede kong pagalitan yung bata, ayoko rin naman kasi pagalitan si sandy ng ibang nanay kung sakali. And yung bata, sinermunan naman ng nanay sa harap ko. Pero umalis na lang ako agad, nagkulong kami ni Sandy sa kwarto, baka kasi nga maginit pa ulo ko. First time talaga to promise, Sandy kasi loves to hug and kiss kids, very mothering sya kaya shocked kami to experience such “violence”.

    oh my god kathy, naisip ko yan pero naisip ko din pano kung si sandy naman yung nanakit. baka dagukan din ng ibang nanay lol. pero that’s what you will feel talaga eh no? na parang gusto mong labanan yung nanakit. namamaga pa rin yung bite up to now and namumula mula.

  6. dzoi on January 30th, 2008

    hello weng, sa harapan ko naman pinagalitan yung bata. kaya nga pumasok na lang ako sa kwarto namin para icomfort si sandy. si abby ba napa-away na?

  7. Litzie on January 30th, 2008

    holy cow… naku kamusta na kagat nya? di ba minsan may rabies din ang tao? kainis… delikado yun ha dapat talaga pagalitan ang batang yun… shyet!

    ang bait mo naman, talagang naisip mo pa ang karma ha… sabagay tama ka… masakit din if anak natin ang nakagawa ng mali na di naman nila alam na mali tapos babatukan sila ng ibang nanay…

    kisses to sandy. anu ba yan sunod sunod naman experiences nya. tsk.

  8. dzoi on January 30th, 2008

    exactly my sentiments litzie. first tonsilitis, then stomach bug, then cockroach bite sa eye, now toddler bite naman. hay naku, tinatawanan ko na lang kesa mabwisit ako. yan din ang worry ko, rabies kaya i washed her hand agad with alcohol pa. and di ako mabait litzie, natulala lang ako hehe.

    pero for sure, may mga kapalit yan na good things. I hope!

  10. peachy on January 30th, 2008

    naku joy, kagat pa din un, and for that crying and peeing, nasaktan talaga si sandy ah! pero alam mo , may kids talaga na hindi nila nature ang gumanti.. so yung nanay na lang daw gaganti! hahaha! joke! hope ok naman yung hand.

    re the crocs, hopefully next week, sa friday p lng kasi mapapdala ng mom ko eh, 7 days naman dito na un sa manila. :) msg kita agad

  11. dzoi on January 30th, 2008

    hi peachy, alam mo ba naiisip ko na nga pano sa school pag me ganyan ganyan? naku baka mapasugod ako ng di oras!

    thanks sa update. excited na ko baka lumaki na naman kasi paa ni sandy LOL.

    naku ako aawayin ko yung bata hehe.. seriously, aawayin ko yung nanay.. dati kasi may parang dumagan kay estong na mas malaking bata sa playground ng mcdo, so my initial reaction was to shout at the boy kasi nakhiga si estong, pano kung di makahinga.. ayun narinig nung parents, wag ko daw sigawan at baka daw ma-trauma. so they know na anak nila yung makulit kasi sa dinami-dami ng bata, pano nila naisip na yung anak nila yung nasigawan ko e nasa dining area sila.. syempre sumabat na din si jojo, na yung anak nya ang pagsabihan nya dahil ang laki na at yung anak namin e halos baby pa.. ayun yung husband na lang nya ang nagyayang umalis dun.. pero i think dapat nanay ang sabihan.. nabigla lang ako sa mcdo kaya napasigaw ako..

  13. alpha on January 30th, 2008

    totoo ba yang rabies na yan? yung daughter ng barkada ko, kinagat din sa school ng classmate nya at nagsugat.. natakot nga din sya kasi daw baka may rabies.. ayun nilipat nya ng section. yung daughter naman nya ngayun ang siga dun sa nilipatan nyang section.. talk about revenge hehe.. iba naman tuloy ngayon ang problema ng barkada ko :D

  14. Apols on January 31st, 2008

    naku girl sorry about this incident. kawawa naman si sandy :( :( :( meron talagang ganyan eh, minsan nakakabigla pag ganun. ako nga eh sinabunutan si andrew sa harapan ko ng anak ng pinsan ko as in ung anit niya hila hila ayaw bitiwan na shock ako…pero nasaktan ako dun ha. inisip ko na bata nga…

  15. Apols on January 31st, 2008

    pero, inisip ko makakaganti rin siya in the future hahaaha bad.

  16. Jennifer on January 31st, 2008

    They say we shouldn’t get into “mga away-bata”, but its so hard NOT to say anything when its our own babies being hurt. I hope mapigilan ko rin myself when its my own Belle being hurt by another kid.

  17. dzoi on January 31st, 2008

    hi alpha, mahilig kasi si sandy mangyakap kala ng ibang kids sinasaktan sila LOL. ang tapang mo din ha, naninigaw ka hahaha. oo nga parents talaga dapat sabihan, in my case di ko na sinabihan kasi sa harapan ko talaga sinermunan nung nanay yung anak nya. ang hirap eh no?

  18. dzoi on January 31st, 2008

    gosh apols sinasabunutan ba? pero at least kamag-anak mo di ba, kadugo kumbaga. mas mapagpapasensyahan. ano naman ginagawa mo pag nilalapastangan si andrew lol.

  19. dzoi on January 31st, 2008

    hi jenny, it’s really hard. di mo alam kung makikialam ka ba or hindi lalo na when you see kung gano nasaktan yung bata. and to think sa bahay pa namin to nangyari ha, pano pa kaya pag sa labas na

  20. Apols on February 1st, 2008

    pag ibang tao bru, ewan ko lang :P

    Kakainis naman yung nangagat. Siguro kung ako yan, sasabihan ko yung nanay na pagsabihan yung anak niya. May isang batang nanakit dati sa inaanak ko (inaanak ko pa lang yun ha). Nung nakatalikod yung nanay eh kinurot ko nga. Buti na lang hindi nagsasalita yung bata, hehehe.

    Lately naman, may batang umagaw ng balloon ng anak ko. Buti na lang to the rescue yung inaanak ko at sinabihan yung bata na wag aagawan si Kail kasi baby pa. Kung ako yun, palalayasin ko yung buong pamilya na yun… bahay ko ata ito at birthday ng anak ko yun! ;)

    Ewan ko, pero pag anak na ang pinag-usapan, atapang atao ako. Aba, ni hindi ko nga madampian ang dulo ng daliri ng anak ko tapos may ibang mananakit?!

  22. Mich on February 6th, 2008

    gosh, masakit siguro talga yun! di ko din alam gagawin ko kapag ganyan! Ang hirap nga ng situation na yan…

    […] when the other girl bit her. Good thing I saw them immediately so the bite wasn’t as deep as before. Still, the bite marks are huge and have welted up. I did what I have to do. Although it’s […]
