She had bouts of on and off fever last week. There were two days that she was well thinking it could go on that way. However, another day occurred with it again with painful stomach filled with air inside. Her tummy was like a "balloon" and burped when I lifted her up. She had series of tests at the hospital Thursday night with negative test results (CBC and Urinalysis with a little of viral infection). Her vital signs were fine and is not for admission yet.
When Saturday came, she did not eat much at lunch and resisted to drink water. But then I insisted that she would. She looked pail already from where my sister advised that shed would be checked again. I and my husband did not have second thoughts. We decided to bring her to the hospital.
She was for admission due to very low Blood pressure already (60/30). By middle of the night, her vital signs were stable. The thing was, there was no available room in the hospital for her. We insisted that we would stay the whole night in the emergency room. Thanks be to God, we were allowed to stay. The following morning, we were informed of an available room. Thanks be to God again for such provision.
Despite not getting enough sleep, I and my husband had to stick it all. She had bouts of coughing on Sunday from where she was nebulized. She did not like it that way. However, we found a way to convince her to take the series of sessions with antibiotics.
She had discomforts with dextrose attached to her body however, she tried to contain them. We had guests at night at the hospital. Our family friend Vilma who prayer over Mika(ninang of Mikaela), Fr. Norlan Julia, SJ, family members Gay and Dennis and cousins of Mikaela such as ate Louise and kuya Anton. Lolo pops and tita Mae visited and the day that the she was discharged (3rd day in the hospital).
Consistent prayers of friends such as Fr. Xavier Olin, SJ, Fr. Oliver Verdejo, SSJV and Fr. Lino Macatol, II and Fr. Norlan Julia, SJ who prayed over her at the hospital also were said. More than anything, God sustained us as a family in the challenge of taking care of our daughter and financially we were able to settle our financial obligations immediately.
Again, this is a "mom in action" and simply trying to share the journey with taking care of my little girl - Maria Mikaela.
