More blessings....

Posted by abie on 10:21 AM in
2 weeks after my daughter was born, she was diagnosed to have a congenital heart disease called Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). Meaning she has a hole in her heart. I was really crying hard when my daughter’s cardiologist break to us the news. But in spite of that, we never loose hope. We just kept on praying and continued to hope that God will do miracles for us.

We are lucky because compared to other babies who have this condition, the hole in Bela’s heart has a bigger chance of closing because according to her cardio, the hole is just small (0.33 mm) and the position of the hole is not life threatening so she does not need any operation.

Sabi ng cardio nya, she just has to continuously gain weight as she grows up because the fat and the muscles that will build up as she gains weight will be the one to patch the hole. In most cases daw, specially sa case ni Bela, nag sasara naman daw yung butas before the child turns 3 years old.

So we we’re really happy last Saturday when the cardiologist gave us the good news na sarado na yung butas sa heart ni Bela. Indeed, God is really good. Sabi nga ng cardio ni Bela, swerte daw kami kse di malakas mag gain ng weigth si Bela, but in spite of that nagsara pa din yung hole. Sobrang happy namin at finally, we need not worry about Bela’s heart condition.

Kaya to celebrate, nag decide kami na I treat si Bela sa Sesame Street Concert sa Aliw Theater. I remember, I was talking to Jane about it and sabi ko nag se-second thoughts ako kse baka di naman tapusin ni Bela yung show or baka matakot sa mga monster na character eh masayang lang yung ticket. Di kse gaanong type ni Bela yung mga monster pero super love nya si Big Bird, Count & Elmo. Pero deadma na. After ng check up ni Bela sa Chinese, dumiretso na ako agad sa SM to purchase the ticket. Yun nga lang wala na akong nabiling ticket for Sunday (July 24) so di ko na ma-me-meet si Jane & Jacqui in person. Friday na yung nabili ko na ticket but swerte pa din kse I was still able to purchase aisle seats, row H nga lang.

Super excited na talaga kami ni Howell to watch the concert with Bela. Hope mag enjoy sya.

Hi mga sisters,

Nice,

Sobrang thankful talaga kami. Importante talaga ang prayers. And di naman kami pinabayaan ni God. Sobrang bait talaga niya sa amin.

Apple,

Di mo talaga mahahalata kay Bela na may heart problem sya kse sobra likot. Buti na lang talaga nag sara na din yung hole para mawala na din lahat ng worries namin.

Mec,

Sad to hear about your niece. We'll pray for her. I know God can always do miracles.

Jane,

Sayang nga di sabay playdates natin eh.

Super excited na talaga ako for Bela...hehehe..

Tc mga sisters.
