MAEMAE

This will be my last update on Maemae.  As of this writing, she is still in Baguio General Hospital completing her Meronem therapy.  Last time I heard, her typhoid fever caused her hepatomegally (liver enlargment) and they have also prescribed meds to correct that symptom.  They also removed her NGT the very next day when we brought her there and allowed her to go on a soft diet.  The day before, Maemae was telling her dad, "Paano naman kase ako makakabawas eh di n'yo ako pinapakain!?"   I'm glad the MD in BGH saw it ok for her to eat again. Her bowels work fine now. 

On the 26th, she will have her last shot of the antibiotic and they hope to finally get out of the hospital.  They will stay in Baguio until the new year for her follow-up checks.

Robert and Medy would like me to extend their gratitude to all of you who have been with them through those trying times by sharing your time in prayer and financial resources.  May the Lord richly bless you.

Praise God for His goodness and faithfulness.

of big shoes and lessons

April 2001 I woke up early this morning and went straight to doing my weekend chores...like hanging a two-week worth of laundry under the sun (before the sun is up), afterwhich I went back to bed to do some reading. Three hours later, my mom came and said, "Men ina-no? Ollaw law!" (Are you ready? We're about to leave!") I was confused for a moment then I realized it's the first Saturday of the month and I need to be somewhere to teach. It totally slipped my mind as my mind was still all over the place from Xami's stay in the hospital and then traveling right after it and coming home again. I changed and put my things in my backpack and was gonna put on my shoes only to realize I don't have any appropriate shoes. I asked the hubby if I can try one of his and a pair looked not so bad as the others. So off we went with me looking like I have boats attached to my feet rather than shoes. I used the lesson that I prepared for a women's conferenc

ADDICTIONS

My addictions are weird but I think these are not unique to me.  I have three addictions and I am very glad that I have overcome one of them, at least for now.   #SUGAR_ADDICT  Over a month ago, I was probably one of the worst sugar/carb addict there is.  Since I was diagnosed with diabetes almost three decades ago, I went into a rollercoaster of dieting and fasting and binge eating.  I would weigh myself, get disgusted with what I see and resolve to eat nothing for a week. I would lose 10kg, then the following week, I would eat all the calories that I restricted myself from and more.  Then in April of last year I tried the ketogenic diet and it was working for a month or so until an aunt commented that I will get all wrinkly and saggy if I lose too much weight and my mind used that statement as an excuse to go back to my standard way of eating which has always left me feeling and looking bloated, inflamed, fat, and ugly.  It also aggravated all my health issues specially w
