UPdates about SHyra

I thought that everything is going fine, but recently Shyra's stomach hurts a lot. She urinates solid urines and its color is white eventhough we just went to her nephrologist last thursday he even give shyra an antibiotic but then saturday came and Shyra did not eat for the whole day and can not sleep much at night. She always cries every two hours and complain about er stomach. We can't do anything, I even cried with her last saturday night. So today I am bringing her this afternoon to the nephrologist. She does not eat yet for 3 days now. She bites a bit of food but she selects what she wants to eat. Please pray for her.

I can Stand on my OWn

One Big Step for Shyra One Big Moment for me.

I almost given up the idea of walking when I was told that her pinky finger of her left foot was none responsive and she can never walk. But with faith and hard work she walked. last Friday while we were watching TV she stood up and walk thre strides on her own and from that on She did not stop walking. I will try to take a photo of her. With these results I am very sure that all will be normal and she will live a long life with us..... please thank you for all your help but please pray for her still.

TRying to Stand up on Her Own

Our Hopes are up because Shyra recently is trying to stand on her own. Although she is not successful we are still hoping and praying. Look how determine she is. I think this determination came from her sister Nicole. I wish I can witness her first step.

Leap of Faith

It seems like Faith has helped me and Shyra these days. I don't know if you believe me or not but all I'm trying to say is that prayers, faith and healing masses helped Shyra smile and be okay. Its been 2 months now that I have been bringing Shyra to a healing mass near our house and it seems her weekly fever is now okay. She looks healthier and she is happier than before. I now believe that if the medecines can not cure it so why can't faith? I am a believer and I do believe that God is going to help her with anything that will happen to her. I wished all the people that read my blog.... I wish you pray for her everyday! In advance thank you for the prayers you have given Shyra.

Surgery Aniversary

Two weeks already have passed when I realized that last January 28 was the anniversary of Shyra's surgery at PCMC. A successful surgery done by a good doctor and everything is fine with her spinal for a year now. But it seems that different ailments have been accorring over and over again and by this time I was hoping that I will get used to it , but, it didn't. It is always a surprise and a new hardship to face. If the doctors can't do anything about it, well.... I better try my faith, going to healing masses or healing prayer should help her. That is the only thing left for me to do the only solution left except for the Million Dollars stem Cell treatment which I would really want to try even if there is a question with its morality. I keep thinking why is it moraly questionable? well.... a doctor once told me its a good solution but as a catholic its immoral, because its like cloning a new cell or part of a body and another reason is, sometimes if there are no stem cell available, doctors get stem cells from babies.. is that true? poor baby. But I really want to try it, the problem is financial capabilty. So I have to face the fact that the only thing I can barely afford right now is her theraphy and ofcourse a lot of prayer.

Stem Cell and Moralityt!

One year now have passed and all is well..... or is it really well? January 28 is the aniversary of Shyra's surgery and nothing has changed only worsen, we have to worry now about infections on the kidneys and colon. The clock is ticking for Shyra and everyday is a special day for her and me. I always stay positive with my little baby. I love her more than anything in this world but taking care for her is very complicated and I don't know if I can still be strong for her but I can't do anything about it, I have to be strong. The only cure that I know that can save her from suffering her whole life is STEM CELL. I heard that in China, stem cell is highly used in the different deseases and I learned a few weeks ago that the Philippine Community is gradually accepting this kind of cure. I also remember that last December issue of readers digest issue features Stem Cell and how it cured different deseases and the testimonies of the patient and patients family. Last second week of January I have stumbled upon a poster at one of the Hospital in Manila they were promoting and currently developing this kind of cure. I asked the opinion of the doctors of my baby. They recommended this cure but the morality of this cure is questionable. Why is it so? I have learned that sometimes stem cells are retrieved in any part of a baby's tissue as long as it is healthy. WHAT? is it true? all along I thought that they only get it from umbulical chord of a baby but its not. I was confused now with my option, aside from a 1 to 8 million possible expenses that hinders me in deciding now the question of morality is an issue. what should I do? I know that my baby is in pain he does not show it, what should we do?

Results of the 2 weeks confinement

Last January 4, 2010, Shyra was confined at Quezon Medical Center due to LBM and vomiting. It was a 4 days confinement and on January 7 we were discharged. Ampicillin was given due to the result of urinalysis, there was an infection on her kidneys. We were ad viced by the doctor to continue the medicines co-amoxiclav and redo the urinalysis after a week.
But on Jan 11, 2010 Shyra was on her routine check up with her doctors at manila her G.I. suggested confinement for a barium enema procedure. She was confined on the same day and was discharged on January 14, 2010 with the sum bill of P20,000 at UST Hospital. The result of the test was a lazy colon and was advised to give proper diet more on fibrous food, drink fibrozine, and do colonic irrigation once or twice a month. We are still hoping the she may move her vowel and urine normally. For all the people who helped us with our thought times. THE SALVACION FAMILY who offered their financial, moral and spiritual support, to ATE BENG for the financial, moral and spiritual support and to our friends and colleagues. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
