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...

He chooses our battle. And He gives it to us on a perfect time. Despite the pain I felt whenever I hear my little princess whimpers in agony when she tries to cough her phlegm out but can't. I still thank God. Because I know He was with us the whole time.  Thank you, Lord! And you may want to know the best lesson I learned from this experience. I should update my Philhealth membership data and include my two kids as my dependent. Grabe, I was told by our pediatrician that we could have saved 5 figures with Aerin's case. She didn't inform me of the exact amount because she thinks "5 figures" will ma...

(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...
