Carmen
| Carmen Cerozo Carmen's goiter did not respond to the medication she had been prescribed and Dr Jade decided it was necessary to operate, which he did and very successfully. Carmen has made a full recovery and often shows her appreciation to Bahay ng Pag-Asa for providing her medications and surgery. |
Divine Grace
| Divine Grace Of all the update stories I find this the hardest to relate! Divine a beautiful two year old suffered form asthma and between November '05 and April '06 had been confined in hospital five times with asthma & pneumonia . Bahay ng Pag-asa had even taken her to the Philippine General Hospital in Manila, where she had been confined for three weeks. It seemed that what ever we did within a week or so she was sick again... With each attack her little lungs were getting weaker and weaker! |
| On May 14th Divine’s condition took a turn for the worse. She was near to death and we were asked to purchase special medicine. Unfortunately this was not available locally, so I made a twenty-one hour round trip to Manila to purchase the medicine. I arrived in Manila with only half an hour to spare before the last bus returned to Santiago! Like the crazy woman I am, I ran across a six lane highway shouting at a taxi driver to take me to the all night pharmacy! God bless that taxi driver. Not only did he take me to the pharmacy, but to at least a dozen other pharmacies and hospitals searching for the medicine! Eventually a wonderful Dr explained why we could not find it... The hospital in Santiago had asked for intravenous and this medicine is only in tablet form! Eureka... By this time it was 2.30a.m. But we managed to purchase the precious medicine... However as we walked back to the taxi my phone rang and I received the very sad news that whilst I was buying the medicine Divine Grace passed away…. Of all the heart wrenching cases I have dealt with over the last twelve years, I personally found this one the most difficult to deal with... Divine Grace was a beautiful little two year old who lost her life, due to poverty and the unavailability of genuine affordable medicine........ Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace Amen! |
