Sickie Mom

Mom had fever last Wednesday afternoon and complained about her throat and dry cough. We just her paracetamol and it helped a bit. It was only on Friday morning when I accompanied her to the doctor because it was getting worst. The doctor gave her some medicines and some instructions. Saturday, her condition is not improving much and she’s throwing up most of the times and I think it is because of her dry cough.

Thinking that she’ll become more weak and dehydrated so my bro and I brought her to the emergency room on Sunday 12:30 am because she can’t sleep due to her cough too. The doctor advised us that she’ll be confined because they’ll administer dextrose on her.

I arranged the room for her and she was confined at a private room of the Manila East Hospital. Her main complaint was the nagging pain on her stomach and the doctor ruled it was acute gastritis. There are lots of medicines that she’s taking and even though she didn’t want to take them she has no choice. She stayed for 1 1/2 days at the hospital and eventhough she still feels pain in her stomach, mom asked her doctor let her go home. We were out by 7 pm of Monday, Sept. 5, 2011.

Sis Beng and Joy from overseas called and checked on our mom. Now, mom is recuperating in the house, taking lots of medicines for her acute gastritis, upper respiratory infection and also on her hypertension.

She’s scheduled for an ultrasound of hepatobiliary tree on Friday and another visit to her doctor. most of t times she complained about the medicines that she’s taking.. Ang dami naman kasi eh. 4-5 medicines/ each meal .. grabe! but she need them  to get well.

Today, she ate quite well during lunch and her meryenda and hoping she’ll recover soon with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
