Crazy weekend it was. Keken had been having intermittent fever since he got back from Cebu. When I got home Friday morning, Dichee tells me we're packing for the hospital. My own flu and colds took a backseat for the little one.
It was tough to have no family in this tiny city. When we got to the hospital we were told that it could be a possible case of streps.
The next day we were asked to get blood platelets, we couldn't find a bag of platelets from red cross, we were texting people and wind up having the APO (fraternity) give us blood.
We were told that there could be leukemic processes inside Kenji or it could be ITP.
Thank God they ruled out leukemia after they got him a bone marrow test.
Riverside was very efficient, most of the staff were friendly. The hematologist whom Kenji will be seeing in the next 6 months until remission is motherly and religiously visited him.
When we got out today, most of the nurses said gbye to Kenji. Some even dropped by the room the night before just to say goodbye. One even hugged the little boy.
Oh yes, the kindness of a stranger can do so much. (:
And praise God for good friends and loved ones who saw us through prayers.
