Spending the 2nd day of the year at a Hospital

What a way to spend the New Year....

Last January 2, we went to my mothers house in Quezon City to visit. My brother"s family from Ilocos is there (they rarely go to Quezon City due to large fare required) so my daughter is excited to be seeing her cousins in QC.

We stopped by Festival Mall first for a reunion with my former officemates in Photocircuits. KC has already a cough at that time but she is still active. When we went to QC, she was with her cousins but her cousins were all running but she is just sitting at the side with her cough but she is not complaining yet and she is actually active in terms of talking.

Then came the night, she cannot sleep because she obviously has difficulty in breathing. Usually, when we are home, we just nebulize her and she would feel better. But since we are in a different house, we decided to bring her to the hospital, that is around 12mn already. We brought her at Word Citi Medical Center (formerly QCMC) in Aurora, Cubao, Quezon City. They nebulized my daughter 4X upto 3 am until they decided that my daughter should be admitted since they wheezing sound comes back immediately. So we decided to go home that same day to Tagaytay. We went to Tagaytay Hospital and Medical Center. A series of nebulization was done again, she seems to improve but wheezing sound can still be detected. An X-ray was also done and some spots were found and we were initially told that it was also pneumonia. So we finally agreed to have her admitted so that she can be monitored properly.

So we spent the last parts of Jan 2 upto January 5 in the hospital. It also so happens that Jan 4 is our 7th wedding anniversary. Not a good way to start a year huh.

But, I still want to think positive, there is still a lot of things to be thankful for:
1. My daughter is getting better now.
2. We did not have to pay a cent for the hospitalization because of Maxicare
3. We got more time together
4. A lot of friends and relatives showed their concern.

I am still looking forward to a Great 2010 ahead. Year of the Tiger is my year.
