I could imagine how you felt. I know we all want the best for our kids so we do everything for them...I'm really grateful to the Lord for sending people like Marti's intensivist pedia who was instrumental in discovering that she had retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). When she turned one month, her pedia suggested that she undergo thorough check which included a cranial ultrasound (for her head/brain) and eye exam. She was supposed to have a hearing test, too, but the hospital didn't have a hearing screening clinic. It's at SM City and she was too small to be exposed to a crowded place like SM. The cranial ultrasound was done first and I was sooooo happy that the result was negative for any defect, etc. The result of the newborn screening was also ok...I was devastated when the eye specialist told us that Marti had stage 3 ROP and explained what could possibly happen. We were told that if she won't undergo eye surgery, she will get blind and the surgery had to be immediate. My first reaction was she was too tiny (she was only 3 lbs then) and young to undergo eye surgery but we had no choice if we really want to save her from blindness so the surgery was done 4 days after she was examined (October 31 to be exact). Marti's pedia and eye doctor couldn't believe she had it 'cause it usually happens daw to preterm babies who are born less than 30 weeks and who have been exposed to oxygen for so long. You could imagine how much I cried and prayed after knowing Marti's condition and everybody in the family was also worried about me 'cause my BP wasn't stable yet. The surgery was scheduled at 9 a.m., we were in the nursery at 6 a.m. 'cause we wanted to be around when they started dilating Marti's eyes. Minoy and the nurses didn't allow me to witness the surgery 'cause they knew I wouldn't be able to stand it but even if I was in the other room (praying hard), I could hear Marti's cry the whole time the surgery was done (it lasted for 45 minutes) and it really broke my heart. I just kept on praying that she can bear it and the surgery will be successful. Grabe! we told God na sana amo na yadto an last na problema ni Marti. I would say it was a test of faith or He wants us to trust in his infinite goodness because as if it wasn't enough, the eye doc found out after a week that those bad blood cells in the retina were not totally gone so he had to repeat the surgery that day. I called up Minoy and informed him about it. He was in the hospital in 15 minutes despite the heavy traffic from Mactan (his office)! Imagine if the pedia didn't have her checked! We really wouldn't have any idea she would be growing up blind. God is really so good!
My sis in Canada also wants Mama to be with her and her family but Mama likes it better here especially now that she has Marti to take care of. Pag magchat lagi sila nan mga bata, ag lang-on si Mama na mas love na kuno niya si Marti but Mama always has a way of letting them understand.
My plan is to have two kids with one-year age gap but it really all depends on God's plan for me.
Oh Mi… I am so sorry….. I had no idea …... Sweet little Marti is a truest miracle baby. What she’s been through already…she’s a fighter, Mi.
Very true. We do have a gracious and merciful God. He is always there to guide, help and comfort us in our times of need. And yes, He is a prayer answering God.
During those “trying†times, we had to go to an obligatory counseling to prepare us if indeed our son has a problem. We asked for a spiritual counselor as well and we spent most of our time with him. I wanted to understand why. Then, one day, he said something that hit me like a ton of brick. He said that God knows our hearts and he wouldn’t give us something that we couldn’t handle. At times, He will throw a curveball at us, in order to get our attention, or to draw us back to Him because He loves us.
It took about 12 weeks for all the test and evaluation results to come back. We waited patiently and prayed fervently that God will help us to accept come what may. All came back negative. Suffice it to say our prayers were answered.
Keep the faith, Mi… continue to trust in His infinite goodness.
Where in Canada is your sister?
I admire your attitude. I firmly believe, that all being, are foreordained by God. We just have to trust Him and He will supply all your need.
Kiss baby Marti for us.
Thanks Mana Abb you always inspire me...
Yes, Marti is really a miracle baby, not only for what she went through but also because she was given to us when I thought I would never have a baby. Some said it's hard to conceive when you're 30+ years old...And she's not just a miracle baby, my officemates call her a million-dollar baby too Imagine how much we spent for her 1.5-month stay in the nursery! But of course we didn't mind paying such a huge amount for dear Marti's life.
Mere words aren't enough to express how grateful I am to the Lord for the many, many blessings and answered prayers we have received. I'm amazed at the many ways He sends His blessings to us ---- from the little things to the big ones like having the family and friends we have who tirelessly prayed for us and Marti and who gave their support (all kinds of support). Basta, I could write a book about my experience with precious Marti.
I still haven't responded to your PM. I will as soon as I have longer free time
hope to see u, sibs. agi sab ngadi sa cebu kon may time.
