My Awful Thursday
Posted on October 9th, 2008 in Sad Times by jazzie || No Comment
My day isn’t good. My niece got fever for straight 5 days after she fell down from her bicycle. It’s a bad sign that something was wrong inside her body so we decided to bring her to the hospital for further consultation and medical tests.I just got home from the hospital. My niece is admitted again. It’s Lexi’s second time around to be admitted at the Davao Doctors Hospital. It’s uneasy when the kids are sick. Her younger sister Sophia got flue also. It was on August 20 when Lexi was first brought to the hospital. She undergone Roentgen test or commonly known as X-ray. The sad thing is both of my nieces are positive with pneumonia. Lexi is really weak and a sensitive one. When she was still in her mother’s womb, the doctors said that she can’t live because she got small lungs. Sophie had check ups too and thank God that she wasn’t admitted like her ate. She was just treated at home. These two kids got sick after they went back home from England. In less than 2 months Lexi’s got IV again. I felt pity on her when it was performed by the doctor because she was really crying and it was really hard seeing her in that kind of situation. Lexi’s not eating well. She just prefers to sleep and her eyes are not glowing. I can’t see the smiles on her face. When I visited her last August, I saw that she’s situated in a good and well-equipped room. Amenities were complete and the room was located near the nurse’s station. The two nurses on duty that time were my classmates in high school. They’re already registered nurse and they’re having their training at the same hospital.
Lexi spent 4 or 5 days at the hospital before she was discharged. At this point in time I don’t know how long she’ll be staying in there. I hope that we can get over with this one. Everybody’s affected when the kids are ailing. I’m saddened with it.
On my way home, I had an unpleasant experience. It gave me headache. I waited for a taxi for more than an hour! The rain was pouring hard and the people at the ground floor were after with the taxis too. There was a heavy traffic because of the knee-high flood at the downtown area, in Acacia and in Bajada. It’s expected that in times like this there are cars and jeepneys that might be stranded in the middle of the road because their engine stops from working.Look at their photo below before they got sick.
I’m exhausted and ungrateful with the current conditions of the babies in here. I am hoping and praying that Lexi and Sophie will get well soon. Hopefully at the end of the month they can transfer to their own rooms which are under construction at this moment. Since they’re staying here in country until next year we decided to build 3 additional rooms for the 3 kids. It’s unhealthy when the kids have no exclusive rooms for them.
Please help us through your prayers. May God bless us all.
and I got some visions on what’s gonna happen during that 7 day camp.
