I told myself that I would never blog about my personal life again – Think before you click. Responsible blogging.
Kahapon ko pa gustong umiyak kaso as usual I need to be strong for my family. My dad’s blood, ECG and the other test showed that he had a heart attack. The doctors don’t know yet when it occurred. My dad said he started to feel the pain radiating from his heart when they went to festival mall last Tuesday to buy Cosplay costume for Meng. They walked to the terminal because there was a parade, anniversary of some fraternity.
The pain subside when they reached Festi since it’s fully airconditioned, he felt the pain again during lunch time yesterday and was rushed to Marian Hospital. There’s no room so we need to take him to a bigger hospital. We went to MDI Sinai, Sta Rosa South Hospital, St James, Balibago Polyclinic and Binan Doctors but to no avail, all ICU rooms are filled.
Our last hope, Perpetual Help Binan. They said it’s expensive but do I have a choice. I have 6000php in my pocket but the billing section is asking for 20k deposit. Where in the hands of God will I get it? It’s not even payday yet.
I prayed and fought hard not to cry because I’m pleading form my daddy’s life. The money from Nanay will come the following day. Daddy’s father if we can call him that doesn’t even want to help. Our close relatives even if they want to doesn’t have the capability to help.
Prayers are powerful though, God provides, our very present help in times of need. I forget, He doesn’t. At that point, my source of strength and hope is God.
I went back to the admitting section to ask if I can give a down payment of 6K, it’s all that I have and we’ll bring the rest first thing in the morning, we will opt to pay for whatever we use which is more expensive than depositing 20K for whatever we will use in the ICU.
The pregnant receptionist told the lady from the admitting section to accept the down payment and just bring the rest in the morning before lunch. God is really good. I know that I can go home, rest for awhile, knowing that my dad will be taken cared of so I can still go to work.
Although people say that admission in Perpetual Help Binan is expensive. I think it’s all worth it. The doctors, nurses and staff are good, kind and accommodating. Unlike the other hospitals that we went to. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff, friends and colleagues who helped me produce the money yesterday, may God bless your good heart.
