Pneumonia with hyper reactive airway

AJ was confined at San Juan De Dios Hospital from Saturday PM to Wednesday AM because of Pnuemonia. It was just a follow up check up with her pedia but due to her wheezing, the doctor decided to admit her for proper medication. It's a very hard time for me. Sana ako na lang ang nagkasakit. AJ cried and pleaded not to put the dextrose on, She cried when the nurses get blood samples and do some allergy tests on her. I was also crying when the nurse asked me to hold her through while she puts on the dextrose but I just lack the strength to do so. Ang sakit sa puso.

We stayed there for four and a half days. She had antibiotics, corti-steroids, anti-histamine, she was also nebulized every four hours. She was not able to sleep properly especially on the 1st two days because of she keeps on coughing and spitting out phlegm. It's so agonizing to see my baby that way. It worried the hell out of me.

On the third day, she began to feel better. She's already eating although she prefers to eat ensaymada only. Both her pedia and SNU resident doctor told me that her lungs are much better although there's still signs of phlegm, so we need to continue her corti-steroids and antibiotics. They minimized the frequency of her nebulizer from every 4 hours to every 8 hours. That's good.

On the 4th day, the doctor said she's going to be fine and that we can already discharge her and continue her medication at home, Yahoo! Thank God talaga! Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. No more dextrose and injection for my baby!

Thank you LORD! This may be one of your pagsubok, it might have given me much shock but i am keeping faith. There is indeed a rainbow after each rain.

Thank you Dra. Ruby Marie Sanga-Miranda for taking good care of my baby. She's been under your care for almost 2.5 years and I am thankful for your expertise and your patience.

Thank you San Juan De Dios Hospital and your SNU Nurses and staff for your assistance and perserverance, Sinisigawan na kayo ni AJ when you administer the medicines but you still show your smile and you keep on being friendly. AJ really needed that.

Thank you Mommy, Daddy, Auntie Neneth for taking care of AJ when I need to be at the office to get the requirements for Philhealth.

And to my Hubby, thank you for perservering with me, For taking care of both me and AJ. Thank you and I love you.

And also, to all the wellwishers, my facebook friends, who prayed and wished AJ all the "get well soons", you've been part of the strenght that made me carry on through,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
