Chapter 51-- Damian Delilah Mallory: the Family Seventeen Ii
The seven were "all healthy and
Well cared for" Dr. Maxim
Stated. She was a little
Concerned about Adian. He
Only gained one pound since
His birth. Molly said, "I'm
Worried he's not getting enough
Milk. I'm breastfeeding. But
The others...." Doctor Maxim said
You can't just use breast milk
It won't be enough for them All.
I'll give you prescriptions for
All of them. They'll need more
Nutrition and a appetite
Enhancer, vitamins
with the medications.
Follow these guidelines and
It will all work out. Make sure
You give the meds as prescribed
Mixed into the formula
The Children should gain
Noticeable weight easily in
the months Ahead. And pay close
Attention to Adian. His
Weight gain is lacking he needs
To gain more. But despite that
He's still in good health as are
All of the other six." She said
As she looked around at
Damian and Delilah.
"So are there any questions?
And continue
Bresstfeeding every two hours
That combination should
help the Quads tremendously." And
She opened the door saying
"Well if there aren't any
Questions, you all take care.°
"And call me with the least
Concern."
Damian said, "Now, for all the
Others." They entered the
Pediatric area. "Damian asked
Amadeus, "Where's DJ?" "He's
In there with the Doctor."
Damian knocked on the door
Of the room Amadeus pointed
To. Damian entered the room.
The doctor was a tall young
Man with a boyish face and
Caramel complexion. "Hello."
Damian said,"I'm Damian Hakim.
That's my son Damian Junior."
The doctor introduced himself
"I'm Doctor Patterson."
Is there anything going on
That I should know?" "Well
Mr. Hakim He's in excellent
Health but... he has tonsillitis."
Damian was Impatient. "well
Tell me. What's the treatment?"
Doctor Patterson continued I'll
Prescribe antibiotics.
"It's penicillin, orally." Damian
Handled the prescription and
Left the office with DJ.
Damian searched the area for
The other 9 children
still waiting too see the
Pediatricians. Molly said, "we
Should have handled these
Visits separately so it wouldn't
Have been so congested. Our
Family is to big for this area."
"I agree Molly." Dolly added her
Optimistic obvious opinion.
Damian said
"But this is My way, no...
Further discussion. I'm big
Daddy. Now shut your mouth."
Damian was aggravated angry
And anxiously annoyed.
So Molly and Dolly said nothing
Further. They did as he said.
One Pediatrician step out of her
Office she called, "Desharah Hakim"
Dolly rose from her seat. She
Entered the office with Desharah.
Damian reminded Molly
"Two down, eight more to go."
Damian then instructed. "You
Know what Molly take the
Babies down outside to the
Limos." All the Babies were
Resting in car seats.
"My mother and Salis
Are still there. Come on." He
Went with her and called
Damian Junior to help them.
DJ pulled Amadeus to help out
"Come Amadeus grab one of
The babies. Desharah and
Their mother returned to
The waiting area. "We're
Leaving now?" Desharah asked.
"No, everybody's not finished."
Dolly informed Her. "We have to
Wait for Daddy to come back
We are preparing to leave."
Another Pediatrician stepped out
And called, "Robert Dawson."
Then came a Familiar name
From doctor Patterson
"Justin Hakim." Damian Stood
And went in with Justin
calling Jordan with
Him explaining to the doctor
That he wanted the boys
seen Together. As time passed
Doctor Patterson
examined the rest of
The Hakim Brothers. All were
In excellent physical health.
Damian shook his Hand.
Damian reminded, " I won't
Bring the entire family for the
Follow-up, next time it'll just
Be me and my oldest."
The day was over Damian went
to the Pharmacy to
retrieve DJ's medication and
the medication
For the quads and buy vitamins
For the rest of the kids. After
Damian returned from the
Pharmacy he Inspected the down
Stairs and concluded that it was
A disaster. "DJ Amadeus Desharah
Damian Justin and Jordan front
And center NOW! The five kids
Raced down the stairs. "Yes Dad."
Yes Dad." They all responded.
"This place is a mess." Damian
Didn't have to finish his
Thought. The kids knew what
Needed to be done. They
Started cleaning. DJ started
Removing anything that looked
Out of place. Desharah and
Amadeus began vacuuming.
DJ took the vacuum cleaner
From Desharah and started
Vacuuming. After a couple of
Hours they observed, Amadeus
Said, "Hey, I think It looks better
What do y'all think." Desharah
Said, "The only opinion that matters
Is Daddys. If he says it's okay
Then we can relax." "Is there
Dishes in the sink? Is the kitchen
Clean?" DJ said "Go check it
Desharah." She scurried away to
Check. She returned smiling, yep
Everything is right." DJ bolstered
Boldly booming, "DADDY, DADDY
WE'RE DONE!
