DAD

When we look back of our younger days we see our father as a fiercesome being that we look up to. As days passed by my dad became the weakest one.  Back in 2009, he was diagnosed as the youngest diabetic patient in SOTTO Hospital at the age of 33. We were confident and not worrying about that much. We haven't dwelt on the problem until he was having too much dizziness, frequent hospitalization for highblood pressure and difficulty of breathing. The dreadful time was on March 2012 when he was diagnosed for his Chronic Kidney Failure and was asked for a operation leading for a hemodialysis lifetime.  It was a decision strongly made by him that he wants it.

As he had the operation things and money were spent, but really the Government has helped a lot for the expenses. Philhealth has made a great job and role in making all these interventions possible. We paid only 40% of the whole amount that supposedly to be paid.


As the months went along, dad had to go another procedure which will be a  lifetime committment for the family, and we had a great idea how to do it. It has been a big surprised for everyone that we could have a chance of getting him well enough in his young age of 45.

We need this 260K for his operation, since yesterday we are oblige to our quest solving this problem , well maybe we can say it is a blessing though.  We cried for the big possibilities of making our brother as a donor cause none of the working siblings can somehow. each ahs to contribute..
My brother maybe as I think has been unfortunate, as a sister I will always give him love and care as much as i can.  So having this instant will give us a committment towards him for all his life. getting what is for your body and enduring the pain of an operation is such a very sad thing.  It maybe a greatest sacrifice for a child to his parents. But still I feel sad of having such option. Maybe I could be the second one, I maybe scared of the pain, having this but for him maybe I could endure. Crazy but true this is a test of being a family. I understand the word now , so true and so rigid.. We are just fragile people that need to fill up one another..
