Despite still not feeling well, she had to listen to the doctors. After all, they were the professionals, right? She shares, “It was awful. People thought I was just being a wimp and kept telling me ‘Oh if you can’t handle this, how are you going to cope with having a baby. But I could barely walk. No one really understood how ill I was – but Keola did.”

Keola’s Concern

According to Alhanna, “She [Keola] would nudge me and cry and I could never figure out why she suddenly started doing this. Ricky said she was distraught whenever I went to work, when she had never minded before.” But this is where Keola’s concern for her ‘mommy’ went beyond the norm. As long as Alhanna was home, Keola wouldn’t leave her side, even when she was in the bathroom.
