1 week of busy-ness, 1 week drama from joaquin's sickness(part 2)

before we left the hospital, dra. solomon requested to have chest xray to joaquin.
.. at home, tulala ako. sobrang lungkot. isip.

in the middle of the night.. mommy is suggesting again, to buy suppositories for fever.. paracetamol na nilalagay sa butt to lower down temperature faster. with matching consult to ate willen, kaya hinayaan ko na lng..
funny lang kasi, when we are doing the suppositories, si mommy ang gumagawa.. and joaquin stared at mommy.. parang galit. alam niyang si mommy ang gumawa nun sa butt niya.. hihihi.. wawa nman..


june 27:
early in the morning, because of fever, i'm thinking of bringing joaquin at the hospital already.. but thinking also to finish first my consultation to doctora solomon,to finalize her findings.. and then if there's nothing she will do and still the same suggestion/ prescription, i'll go to the hospital (st.lukes or medical city) for further analysis on joaquin's situation...

but the usual mommy, tensed.. daming suggestion.. dalhin raw dun sa matanda, papatawas.. malapit lang para patingin.. right there we had another argument. so the day went on. kuya reyson heard our arguments, he stopped me to talk, just ignore mommy and do my itinerary. tanung niya ako kung ok lang ako dahil magdadrive ako.. ignore ko na lng raw.. ganun talga si mommy..

after my consultation to doctora, she suggested to have joaquin an I.V. he's dehydrated. he cried alot but no tears fall on to his face.. also his weight was down, 2lbs already. first assumption of doctora was suspected dengue because of some rashes and red traces/ pattern on joaquin's skin. she done the torniquet for 5 mins. (procedure on detecting dengue spots on skin) a little spot was shown,but insisted to have another CBC. good thing the platelet counts was ok.. so she gave 2 options as guide. if we want to have joaquin be admitted to have the dextrose, good .. kahit saang hospital gusto ko raw/ o nila.. :) or stay sa house pero we have to be creative to feed joaquin. again its our own decision what to do. she reminded me, ako pa rin decide.. iba pa rin ang mother's instinct and don't have to worry kasi its not dengue..

right there, i called mommy. i said to her, admit na lng pero ask ko sya suggestion kung san.. kasi i really need help sa finances.. bka di ko makayanan ang amount ng expenses.. at least support lang incase ma short. i texted also kuya reyson about the findings..
after that, i rushed to sandy. have the dollar changed.. go back after we had all the things packed and done at home..

Now, that was the start of our journey to have joaquin admitted at his birthplace.. "The Medical City"..

.. see part 3 ;)

1 week of busy-ness, 1 week drama from joaquin's sickness(part 1)

joaquin got sick almost 1 week. it started last monday, june 23.
first, after we went to Trinoma, on the bed i felt his head too hot.. i observed his temperature,lowering down thru first aid medicine paracetamol. (tempra) .. 4 hours after it went up and down, and then gave again tempra, again and again and again.

june 24:
we celebrated mommy's birthday at edongs restaurant with little joaqui not feeling well.. until i decided to have a check up early wednesday morning at 'Glory of Zion', to dra. Solomon.

june 25:
findings - not to worry. it might be a baby measles (tigdas hangin) or virus maybe the cause or somewhat.just continue to have the paracetamol and not to worry. but if ever joaquin still have fever, we will be doing the laboratory test to find out what really is the cause of his continuous fever. still temperature high and right then, at 4pm we ran to the st. ignatius laboratory/clinic to have the tests (CBC and urinalysis)." thanks to tito glen venus, he accompanied us to drive the yaris.. wasn't able to drive because of my boil and also, i can't find my license. maybe i left it inside the crosswind". we just had the blood test only, because joaquin wasn't able to wee on the wee bag. hihi.. maybe conscious on that thing attached to his little bird. :)


june 26:
early in the morning, we had his wee already at 8am, but we finished and arrived at the laboratory past 9am. the laboratory didn't accept the urine.. so we waited so long for joaquin to wee again and have his urine for the urinalysis. until we had it before 12pm and rushed it to the dra. solomon .findings are still the same, but she prescribed antibacterial medicine.

late in the evening after series of discussion with mommy, we rushed joaquin at st. victoria hospital because of 39.9 degrees Celsius temperature..i'm not yet tensed on that temp, but mommy insisted to bring joaquin to the hospital.. since dra. solomon is an accredited pedia at st. victoria, we decided to have joaquin there incase of check up or admission. after talking to the ER , the same findings as what dra. solomon had with joaquin but the resident doctor, suggested if we want to admit joaquin just to have an I.V. for hydration. we, mommy and i, asked the doctor, if we can do the management to joaquin at home, on monitoring temp to low down and give hydration thru water intake.. the doctor said its ok but if we are stressed and tensed on the situation its our own prerogative to have joaquin admitted. right then we decided to bring joaquin at home.. but with my conscience and pressure on mind,series of headache/little 'sinat' because of my boil, i know after all these, i can't concentrate and give the management properly to joaquin at home, because mommy might give a big pressure on me why i didn't decide to have him at the hospital.. a lot of sermons and talks that would irritate me.. just a couple of minute i talked to dra. solomon on the phone and told my side. so i decided to have joaquin admitted...

before we sign the admission slip, sandy accompanied me to see the available room the ER suggested - Surgical ward. .. wow, with our eyes open wide.. we are shocked on what we saw.. 7 beds with patients who had surgery (just what the room was named) and the available bed was too far at the entrance and almost at the corner.. poor joaquin if ever he will be admitted at the hospital. atras ako, sobrang nainis ako.. sabi ko na lang uuwi na lng.. i talked to sandy and cried. i said all what had happen why i decided to have joaquin admitted. right there, sandy just said.." ako na bahala kay mommy.. wag na dito ate joh.. kung gusto mo sa iba na lang.."
i smiled and felt meron akong kakampi on what sandy have said to me..

after that we talked to the ER staff, signed the dismissal form and then we went back home..
just then i saw joaquin too gigly and playful. he does all his pa-cute routine. joaquin has this mind of a big person.. twag na nga namin matanda na kung magisip... he knows the hospital. i know he hated also at the hospital. alam niya na aadmit siya kaya pinakita nyang ok na siya.. hihihi..

... thinking all the while, the whole moment i've experienced.. sobrang nalungkot ako.. hirap. di na ako makapagdecide on my own.. too pressured on things. masyado n akong down. that was also the week, we had small argument/ big issue with hon..

lets continue this talk tomorrow.. a little suspense.. :)

.. too comedic, too dramatic

its mommy's dramatic scene.. hihi. in the morning, mommy insisted to go out and told us to go to Trinoma coz she'll be buying something (dish rack) and to Manila Waters..inasar lang ni sandy, kaya mejo inis. late in the afternoon, sandy and mommy had a fight, simple misunderstanding that lead to tantrums and the worst.. we went home from Trinoma (sandy, ayie, me and joaquin) without mommy. she just left us without knowing she will not come back.. until now she's not at home.

mommy called mariz, without intentions of turning the voice call to loudspeaker.. so i heard what mommy is saying.. hihihi!.. she's asking mariz not to let us know she'll be hiding. :) she will be home but not to tell us where or when she will arrive.
too dramatic!! the term sandy is using.. she's having "balikbayan syndrome" again. :)
its her bday tomorrow and kuya reyson will arrive! ;)


just chat with mandy..
.. .. haaay..wanted to shout!
this day is not my day. can't release what i really feel!.. my boil is already healing, but now i guess its boiling again!!!! grrr. ouch
.. crying inside-out
... stressed..
(breathe.. inhale exhale)

delay

delayed flight of kuya reyson today.. tomorrow, i'll be the one to drive and fetch him at the airport with mommy (mother-in-law)



.. scary its crosswind, i'll be driving.. :)

..still counting

.. countdown - 2 days

... coldwar ba?! must be celebrating monthsary.

.. nuninuninu

it was rainy, stormy day, (storm Frank) and we have no lights, no dialtone, and no internet connection..
winds are too strong, almost hear the whoossh sound. might be the roofs of all the houses and garage will dumped on the roads..
trying to connect thru my cel, glimpse on the Y!ahoo mobile to check my mails and messenger.
its almost 6pm the electricity came back..

.. still no emails or messages..

.. 1,3,5..

too odd... can't imagine. never received any mails or messages..
count down - 1 day

dual party

It's Xylos (son of Dreyden and Eva Villoso) and Gio Antonio's (son of Ma-an and Remigio Santos) birthday bash. we had lots of fun and joaquin enjoyed it specially the balloons. he had taken 2 ballons (KFC) at xylos birthday and first to have at gio's (Jollibee) birthday!.. wow. we're full! yum.. yum! thanks to sandy, she accompanied us and been our driver since i can't drive because of... hmm.. never mind

i'm so overwhelmed because i've seen my long lost girlfriends. At last, for almost 3 years, we've been complete on this event. thank you gals... missed you so much!

no access

passwords??!.. so better to change it also..? think that would be right....

ok then

.. nana my hair! - joaquin

have this first hair cut at the salon for babies/ kids for joaquin.. joaquin cried alot.. but soften when he saw the video of barney. the "kuya" at the salon is nice to joaquin. he's an experienced barber i guess, for kids and he knows how to comfort or play with them..have that low temper and advise us on how to treat the scalp for better growing of hair. its really joaquin who cannot control with his crying.. thank you "kuya"..




.. afterwards, joaquin realizes his hair was gone!.. he always touches his head and often say "nana! (wala na!)".. hihi. he looks like a shaolin kid!

mamcy's birthday today

we visited mamcy. bought some luyongs favorites (miki-bihon lechon, lumpiang shanghai and beef broccoli). mamcy looked at joaquin and said he looks like more of me, until she realized its more of mandy's. hihihi.. . it's joaquin's first visit to lola ninang place. he enjoyed the figurine of dog. he pointed also on the dogs mamcy have at the house.. he never liked the teddy bears celine and eloi' gave... pity joaquin, he likes the dog figurine more than little stuff toys.

.. seems another year has been added, mamcy. hihihi!.. but still looking young. ;)
... happy birthday, from joaquin, joh and mandy.

....another victim

just seen this news in yahoo about Patrick Swayze.. being diagnosed also of pancreatic cancer, last March 2008 and have a new drama series to work on. to quote on what he said on the interview...



" 'Guys, I have some horrible news. But if you can be patient and stand by me, I'm going to come back and do the show.' "
"He said: 'I'm in great condition. I'm a cowboy. I'm a dancer. I'll beat this..."

[OMG, yahoo.June 7, 2008, 6:38 pm PDT ]


what's really on with this disease?! its too soundlike a cough or colds or maybe a chicken pox that anybody can have these anytime. i just read on some literature about it that you might never know you have it unless detected on the stage where the tumors almost got into your system and needs immediate treatment.. grrr..

and also don't know what to say or feel, heard the news about Rudy "da boy" Fernandez, left his loved ones on the day of my birthday.. june 7.

... i thought of mike..

.. hope all things, be on His will. Nothing is impossible with Him.

.. mike, i know you're also a cowboy! we're praying for good health and more strength to fight on this cancer. we are always here. we will never leave you.. you've shown us strength.. so please hold on.God bless you!
