Womanhood and Everything in Between

I need a lot of them for my Baby Aerin. =( After we were discharged from the hospital last Friday, she didn't take her medicines. The moment the medicine dropper touched her lips, she'll start throwing up. So that means, anything that was fed to her is also gone. Until today, ganyan ang sitwasyon namin. Natatakot na ako mga mare. Hindi ko na alam gagawin ko. =( Gusto ko na naman sya ibalik sa hospital kaso na trauma na sya sa ER kasi makailang ulit syang tinusok for the IV. I thought everything will be ok na kasi wala na syang fever and her cough has loosen up already. Hindi na sya hirap umubo. Ang kaso, dehydration naman ang kalaban ko ngayon. Her normal intake of foods/milk during daytime ay 2-3 bottles of 7oz milk plus she eats rice during mealtimes. Ngayon,  nakakaisang bote pa lang ng gatas tapos pakonti konti na kain ng kanin. Please help me pray for her fast recovery mga mare. Nahihirapan na akong nakikita syang ganito. I don't know what to do anymore. I will...

This non-greasy ointment base provides gentle and effective relief for stuffy noses and coughs. Unlike other popular chest rubs, Vapor Soove is a Camphor-free formula, which makes it suitable for babies and children above 6 months. I couldn't get myself google it because my darling's been clinging on me all day. All I knew is that I read it somewhere but my over-occupied mind couldn...

(Warning: A long read) I was planning to go somewhere last weekend kasi feeling ko marami na akong utang sa mga bagets. Angela’s been pestering me for a week already about going to the mall, so I promised her that we’ll be spending the whole Saturday playing and shopping. But came the unexpected. Since the time we came home from La Union, my youngest has been suffering na from colds. I really don’t want to give meds to them as much as possible. So I opted “water therapy” na lang muna. Until Saturday afternoon, when my daughter’s temperature was shooting high (39C-40C), that I started panicking. Dinala ko talaga sya sa ER the following day. ‘Twas a Sunday kaya walang clinic yung Pedia nya. Imagine my dismay when the doctor told me that they have to admit my daughter kasi the diagnosis is Pneumonia. I was trying so hard to talk in a calm voice and act as professional as I can be. Inquiries like; “Doc, IT IS curable, right?”, “We will be released as early as tomorrow, diba?”, “The...
