Biloi's latest Car Drawings

Biloi's on an off episode of hemopthesis from July 27 to September 3, 2011, made him absent from school and haven't taken his 1st grading examinations.  Fortunately, Mr. Gaganao, the School Principal and his teachers really understand his condition.  I even told them that he better quit schooling due to his absenses but they told me that it's up for him to decide when to come back to school depending on his condition. According to them, quitting would even worsen his condition being deprived of associating with classmates and friends. During his stay at home, I can't force him to read and study.  His mind is always  occupied   about cars...playing car race in the computer, watching again DVD for Fast and Furious and other movies about cars and most of all making his own car drawings despite coughing blood.  I am just so thankful that God continues to hear our prayers to extend his life.  We really felt guilty since we could  no longer provide him the needed medical treatment.  As if we just entrust him to God's love and mercy,  Hemostan 500mg 3 x a day was the only medicine we have provided him. No more check-up and medical work-ups. All because of financial constraints which I knew, Biloi would surely understand.

Below are photos of Biloi's new car drawings taken by him using the digital camera  borrowed by his Kuya Rouen from Dana, his college classmate.  No coloring was applied...black and white, as usual.    

Yesterday, Biloi reported to school despite his severe coughing...not with blood this time but with phlegm only.  Today I told him not to report to school.  Hopefully, tomorrow he could go to school again.

To God be the Glory for Biloi's continues existence!

Biloi forgot to label this drawing...I can't imagine riding in this car.
This is Shelby for Biloi

Camaro...as Biloi looks at it


BILOI'S PREVIOUS CAR DRAWINGS

Unfortunately I don't have camera so I just scanned Biloi's drawings in our printer and saved it in a CD so I can upload his latest car drawings.

Since childhood, he really likes cars....collecting, seeing movies about cars, riding in cars and started making his own simple pencil drawings of cars.



He has no specific criteria for making drawings.  For as long as he likes to draw, he made it  even on scrap papers.   I don't even understand why he seldom color his drawings.  I do believe that it really makes him happy whenever he draws car... whatever and no matter how it looks like.

 He always told me that maybe someday he could make his own car design.  Anyway, there's no cost for wishing something which, maybe for us is impossible.  That's why I encourage him that whenever he feels good, he must go to school.  I am fervently praying and hoping that he could finish a college course so he could apply as sales agent in a car company where his interest lies.

I always believe that with God's grace and miracle, nothing is impossible here on earth.  That maybe someday, Biloi could really work in a car company here in our country. 
It's Biloi's great FAITH in God that makes him survive. God bless my son!

After almost 2 weeks of absence from school

Biloi reported on the first day of school last June 6, 2011.  However, due to colds, cough and fever he has to be absent for almost 2 weeks due to his medication. 

 I just gave him his usual medication everytime he got fever and cough without proper consultation from our Rural Health Physician.  Paracetamol, Ambroxol and Amoxcillin 500mg for 7 days.   His fever was gone however, his colds and cough continues so I requested Unang, our househelper to accompany him to Dra. Benitez, our RHP.  He was given another antibiotics (Cefalixin) for another 7 days. 

He completed his medication and while he's still coughing occasionally, he reported back to school last Monday, July 11. Once again, God showed His mercy and miracle to him.  I can see in his face the happiness of being in school again with his friends.

I really thanked God that  he has no episode of hymoptesis while taking his medication,  Cough triggered his previous episodes that's why I am always worried whenever he got colds and cough.

I always try to be optimistic, believing and hoping that God will continue to extend his life.  I am really looking forward that he could finish high school and eventually a college course which will give him the opportunity to work in a car company someday.

To God be the Glory!

Biloi as 2nd Year High School

I always thanked God for his continued blessings and miracle given to my son.  Yes, despite his minimal  and on-and-off episode of hemoptysis last April 24 until end of May 2011, I was convinced thru advise of     Mr. Gaganao, the School Principal  and other teachers of Tolosa National High School  to enroll him as 2nd Yr.  Also, my husband and other children told me also to let him go to school for he will only be bored at home.  Anyway, the school always understand him knowing his heart condition.

June 6 was his first day of school.  As usual, I accompany him bringing along his personal stand fan to be used in their classroom. Mano Bening is still his driver to school paid on a monthly basis. He requested transfer of section to his former classmates in first year and it was granted.  Again, I have to explain to his adviser, Mrs. Dagami who is also very kind and accommodating despite our difference in religious affilliation.  Their room is located in the 2nd floor and I asked Biloi if he could manage going up and down the stairs and he seemed okay.  Unlike at the SMDC during his 1st day in school as 1st year wherein he almost fainted going up and down the stairs.  That's why he transferred to this school.  I believed, it was the happy feelings of being with his friends that enable  him to endure  going up and down that stairway.

While I have fears that his hemoptysis might recurr anytime, yet I just pray and offer everything to God.  I knew that Biloi is really optimistic of living a longer and happy life with us and with his friends.
