Leyna's First Public Performance in School

Yesterday, Leyna's school celebrated the Linggo ng Wika. During the celebration, they wore filipiniana clothes and recited a tagalog poem. Parents, grandparents, visitors and yaya's were present to see what they have accomplished for the past few months they have been in school. I did not practice her on the poem they recited but was just amazed on her memory. It was only their teacher who taught them but she (together with her classmates) recited it perfectly with action. I was just on the side watching their performance and have over heard a comment about leyna since she was the smallest in her class and has the fairest skin among them. hehe:). I am satisfied and proud what schooling has done to my little angel.

2 weeks Hospital Experience

I had a very rough two weeks at the hospital last month. On the first week, July 6, I was admitted at the hospital for a scheduled "raspa" procedure since I had an abnormal thick blood lining that caused a continuous menstruation for about a month.

The procedure went well and was done July 8 since a lot of blood tests has to be made first for clearance thanks to my Ob-Gyne.

Before I was discharged (July 9), I already had my next appointment with my doctor 2weeks after. I was confident that I was "A" okay.

Sunday came (July 12) and the family and my mom went to the mall for some groceries and also to visit my in-laws. Everything went very well and was not feeling unsual. I was even watching an MJ special before sleeping. Monday came (July 13) when the alarm sounded for me to prepare breakfast but when I moved to get up, the lower right side of my stomach was very painful. I thought first that maybe it was just because of my sleeping position. I still went through with my usual routine of accompanying my daughter to school and back to the house. After eating lunch, the pain got even stronger that made me lay down to bed until the afternoon. It had came to a point that I told my husband to take me to the hospital since I could no longer endure the pain and was already having a fever.

It was a blessing in disguise that when we arrived at the hospital my OB-Gyne was also at the emergency room so we were attended right away and she advised that I be admitted right away. The following day, a series of test was again made. blood chem, ultra sound and others was done again to find out what was wrong again with me. Finally (July 14) my surgeon concluded that I had appendicitis and had to be operated ASAP. No time was wasted and by 2pm I was already inside the operating room and had my appendics removed.

True enough the surgeons' findings was really appendicitis and was very thankful that the procedure was done since he said that the appendics was about to rupture anytime.

Whew!!!! Am okay now and the wound is healing. Thanks for the prayers and thank you Lord for giving me a second chance in life.
