No to MENINGITIS

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:25:00 PST

After knowing that Didong was readmitted in Davao Doctors Hospital last Sunday, I wasn't able to talk to anybody who accompany Didong yet coz I was really emotional knowing 'bout his situation. Only yesterday I had ample time talking to my sisters and my mum, even to Didong. They told me the whole story how they got to really bring Didong to the hospital.

Didong suffered from non-epileptic seizure convulsion for five times though his temperature only ranged from 37-38 degrees centigrade. At first they just told me that he got high fever only for me not to worry much coz they knew how emotional am I especially when it comes to my nephew, Didong, and niece, Didang. Thence, they look for new Pediatrician and Neuro-Pediatrician to check for Didong's general condition.

By far, he is generally ok. But still under observation if he'll still be showing seizure within 24 hours, a lumbar puncture - a meningial test, will be done to Didong. According to the Neuro-Pedia, physically, Didong is very ok. There were no signs of having mental illnesses because that's what my mum was freakinly afraid of, even I, after experiencing seizure of no symptoms. Actually, non-epileptic convulsions are usually experienced by patients having high fever ranging from 39-40 for pediatric patients. However, in Didong's case, he had shown only almost normal temperature but still having seizure. For now, Didong's attending physicians, his Pediatrician and Neuro-Pediatrician, are looking at the side of meningitis. Though this is still under observation. However, almost 90% showing no possibilities of meningitis since symptoms and signs for Didong to have meningitis are very negative.

Meningitis, by the way, is an infection in the meninges. Meninges are the coverings in our brain. If any infection happen in our meninges, this is one crucial thing, a deadly situation.

I have here a chart for you to check any of the unusual things you can observe in your babies.

Get Well Soon DIDONG!

As part of my daily dos aside from sending SMS, I call my mum this morning just wanna talk supposedly. However, she just told me that they are already in the hospital, Davao Doctors Hospital because Didong was readmitted early this morning after suffering from very high fever. He's sick again. And the worst thing, he will be celebrating his 3rd birthday tomorrow. And it's really sad that he might have it in the hospital. If God would allow, I would be glad if He'll just get me sick than Didong. He's so helpless. He's still a kid.

I do not know what to do now. I am very far from them. And seemed so helpless I am now. Crying? Couldn't make things well, perhaps getting worse.

For this week's MM, I wanna have here a rockin' song that could somehow vanish my alonesome feeling here. I won't assure you that you would love this song, but I, myself, love this.

Happy week ahead!

Though I am not a US resident nor an American citizen, I am still celebrating THANKS GIVING DAY. It's not the usual turkey preparation, but, in my own little way I am giving thanks to HIM everything what I have gone through and what I am having.

These are just some to things I am VERY THANKFUL OF:

I just celebrated my birthday will love, generally good health and happiness. Though I had a lil strange feeling that day - a sick birthday, that was, but still, I am very fine then and had a birthday bash full of surprises.
I have a good medical academic standing. Hopefully this will improve more.
Thankful enough that my mum and dad are just very fine now healthly.
After being admitted for 4 days in the hospital, Didong is now at home and feelin' great.
I had my granny also discharged at the hospital already after suffering from mild stroke just on Saturday.
My brother and sisters, my whole family, are ok now. I mean, they got no worries to think of.
I have my friends, offline and online, supporting me and loving me.
And most of all, thanking HIM for giving me more days of savoring every air that I breathe!

You too can give thanks and celebrate THANKS GIVING DAY in your own way!

For the multivitamins, I am not sure yet which brand since my friend, a medical representative still waiting to whom will be the winner. If the winner will be a woman, I might be giving Myra-E, a Vitamin E. If it'd be a man, multivitamins or Vit. C will be given.

WISHING ON A FALLING STAR

Throw 'em out!

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:45:00 PST

Yesterday, the shop which made the personalized mug for my triple medical blogthing game giveaway contacted me telling that the mugs are ready to be delivered at home. I opted to visit them in their office to personally talk to the staffs if I got some things to be changed.

And yes, I wasn't mistaken. There really some stuffs that I wanted them to changed.

First is that, I ordered MAGIC MUG. It's a mug that only when you pour then hot fluid or water the design would be seen. However, only yesterday that they've told me that they didn't able to make what I wanted to because of undersupplies since it's St. Catherine festive here and they got a lot of clients then. I told them that it's more than two weeks already that I had this for you. And what they have told me? They only said, maam, those clients were months ahead of you. I didn't talk further then.

Second, since I got my PMD template of red hue, somewhat pink, and I wanted a colored pink mug, as what I told them also before. But, as I've seen the mugs, they were all colored yellow. I even told them before that I want either red or pink. But, as much as possible red. Pink would just be an alternative. I didn't even mention to them any color especially yellow.

Seeing the finished mugs, I was thinking of throwing them all to them. LOL! Off course, I didn't. I was still glad, staring to the mugs with a smile thinking of how I made my celebrations awesome.

Sick Birthday!

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:13:00 PST

This morning, I went to school since we were scheduled to practice swimming, basketball, softball and table tennis. It's holiday today and tomorrow here in Dumaguete City because of St. Catherine Fest so we could just play all day as we could.

However, after taking a bath, I felt some strange feeling in my tummy. I never think bout it as worst thing then. So I still changed clothes, packed things and went out. Up into being excited of having no class, bumped into my surprise the heavy rain outside. Think of a very geared up to play basketball or softball lassy being damn wet.

But still, I insisted to go to school. Booom! The small thing tummy crumbling earlier became intense that I feel nauseated and even I wanna vomit.

I got no choice then but to went home and just ate large french fries and choco sundae from Jollibee.

***eating choco sundae!

Khat Drug: An Abbused Drug

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:17:00 PST

The newly reported herbal plant being abbused now a days is the Khat Drug.

Khat (Catha edulis) is a flowering shrub native to northeast Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It has stimulatory effects, which are similar to but less intense than those caused by abusing cocaine or methamphetamine.

Khat typically is ingested by chewing the leaves—as is done with loose tobacco. Dried khat leaves can be brewed in tea or cooked and added to food. After ingesting khat, the user experiences an immediate increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The effects of the drug generally begin to subside between 90 minutes and 3 hours after ingestion; however, they can last up to 24 hours.

The use of khat is accepted within the Somali, Ethiopian, and Yemeni cultures, and in the United States khat use is most prevalent among immigrants from those countries. Abuse levels are highest in cities with sizable populations of immigrants from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Yemen, including Boston, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York, and Washington, D.C. In addition, there is evidence to suggest that some nonimmigrants in these areas have begun abusing the drug.

Didong has been admitted..

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:16:00 PST

Last Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009, my mum called me that she couldn't come here in Dumaguete City, for my birthday next week and to attend a 3-day conference as well, which was supposedly last Thursday was her flight because Didong, my nephew, was sick. They, my mum and dad and elder sister (Didong's mum) were just thinking of a very common colds and flu. However, when they had him checked by the medical practitioner, Didong was advised to be admitted after diagnosed of having bronchopneumonia.

Bronchopneumonia is actually a pneumonia in bronchos. There is an acute inflammation of the bronchial tube due to infection caused by bacteria. Actually, Didong is asthmatic. When one is asthmatic, we couldn't able to disregard the secondary effects leading to bronchopneumonia especially for pediatric patients.

**these photos were taken last June 2008.

We're just hoping Didong could get back home as early as now so before his birthday celebration.

These past days, I had been very damn lazy in school. So, whenever my teacher/doctor had a lecture, what I always do is either chitchatting with seatmates or taking photos and make myself busy doing anything that is surely unrelated to the class lectures.

I was just having fun taking photo with this printed one powerpoint presentation we had.

Why I love this? Coz I am the Youngest in the Family and this really suits my personality! Yayks! (You can click the image to see the full size and to have clearer view of the description.)

Best Christmas Gift: School Keepsake Book

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:13:00 PST

It's already mid-November, and everybody could smell now the spirit of Christmas - holidays, indeed. A lot of parties, gatherings and foodums will be expected to have.

However, I couldn't think, or say, take it going home without even bringing something for my goddaughters and godsons. I really do not know what to give to them since I haven't seen them for more than 5 months already. I only had a chance to see Clark, one of them. The rest? Haven't seen them already. And I really can't think how they had grown up now.

I was thinking of giving them pairs of cartoon-printed paired suits, maybe a shorts and a sleeveless shirt or any. However, every time I check some goodies for babies, I seemed clueless and speechless as the sales ladies asked me how tall and how big the kids or babies that would be wearing those stuffs. And as I tried to contact their mum, they just said, they already grown up 'gay, maybe you wouldn't recognize them if you have seen them this December.

Oh no!!!

Am I that wide-thinker and imaginative enough to thinker broadly as I could on how babies would grow? Much more, I am not a magician that if I'll purchase one, then if that suits would not fit to them, I could easily resize those.

Since, I got no other options to think of, I consulted my mum. I know mums know best, that's why. She just told me then that I could choose from penny laine baby book or school keepsake book. Mum made these two options for me since she had seen some of my godchildren growing which I miss. So, as she said, for me to recap those missed moments, I could give their mums with these books and let them file great moments with their kids.

One more thing, my ~~single~~ sister has shared also that she just gave a nap mat to her godson last October, since it was his first birthday.

And as I checked all those mentioned stuffs, I prefer school keepsake book for Ralph. A nap mat for Clark and a penny laine baby book for Aliyah.

Weeeeeeeeeeh! Ninang Gagay will be coming home!!!

Random thoughts: to play or not?

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:02:00 PST

We will be having our intramurals this coming last week of November 2009, however, I haven't decided yet what to play - ball games. I am hesitant whether to swim, play basketball, softball or lawn tennis.

Well, last night, my classmates contacted me whether I would play or not?

I can't think of any yet. What I just did last night? Guess it! I watched Manchester United Highlights! Wohooooooooo! How I wish I could play soccer in our intramurals. I just had it, anyway, on DVD last night since I have not TV at home and I could even pause and playback those hippy moves of the players.

What a random things I had last night. I supposed to sleep at 10PM after I watched the DVD yet, I just had my new blog published.

This morning as I woke up, I received an SMS from a friend asking boout Cancer in Lung since she's having a family member suffering from it.

I don't know still what to do later today, but probably, I'll get PC security for my lappy since it has already expired.

UVULA Injection To Cure SNORING

noreply@blogger.com (GAGAY) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:32:00 PST

One anatomical part of our oral cavity is the UVULA which contributes snoring, specifically those elongated uvula, or having a heavy breathing during sleeping. In most cases, having this situation can lead to sleep apnea.

Usually, an operation known as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (commonly referred to as UPPP, or U3P) is done to treat or prevent snoring. However, there are instances where a scar tissue forms which can cause sleep apnea again.

Recently, medical practitioners has developed a new injection that may cure snoring.
