My Life's Episodes

help me nibble on my family's situation...saturday last week, my son had seizure that prompted my wife to take him to a hospital in Baguio. after 6 days in the hospital, we were referred to 2 different hospitals in manila. we arrived in manila heading straight to the first hospital. we were referred immediately to meet up with the 2 professionals touched by God to help us. Monday this week, my daughter had 38-39 fever and came well after about 24 hours. the next day, she was fine and so we went to the grocery store. The next day (wednesday) she can no longer carry her weight. very weak. now in an ICU at the UST Hospital. Everything was fine until...

Today October 21, 2010, I received two major information about my Kids health. First - I now have the MRI results for my youngest child Lorduill Feraiden IV. He got Desmoplastic Infantile Ganglioglioma (DIG). This sounds Latin to me, we are still to hear it from the Pediatric Neurologist and the Neuro-Surgeon in the coming days about this so let's stay put. Second - The specialists confirmed that it is GBS - Guillain-Barré Syndrome for my daughter. She will have to stay in the ICU for the rest of the medication. My wife and I expressed our incapacity to pay for the medication and hospitalization of our child. Through God's provision a work around was presented to us by one of the specialists. We moved to the charity (clinical division) ward of the hospital and lo, all charges dropped moving forward. Our worry that we max out the medical insurance in 3 days is no longer an issue. currently we have 80,000 pesos left for her stay in the ICU. Medication will depend totally on the reaction of the immune system. We are in need of 25,000 daily for the medication. a day has passed with God's provision. Our Prayer "Lord please provide financial support so we could get the medication for Brienne for the day," and he did! at the strike of 00 hour, someone called and provided for today's medication (Oct 22, 2010). at the end of today, I know that God will provide for the next administration of the medicine. Should I wait for that day or start working now? I've started already. Whoever is reading this note, if it is your desire to help financially, please don't hesitate to do so. My daughter is in dire need. As calculated by the attending physicians, we are to provide 125,000 pesos for 5 days of medication. 50 thousand has already been covered. We are still in need of 75,000 pesos. Any Takers? you can bring your donations to the Pediatrics ICU of the University of Sto. Tomas Hospital in Manila
