After almost 3 months of absence from school due to his hemoptysis (coughing of blood) and despite my fear of what would be his answers to the test questions for the 2nd grading period, Biloi had taken said examination last Wednesday, October 26.
He woke up early that morning, eating only bread with 1 glass of milk as his breakfast. He did not bring any food for his lunch since he anticipated that their exam would be given on a half-day session only. I gave him P50.00 only for his snacks and blue book. His Uncle Allan drove him to school together with his son using his motorcycle. Mano Bening could no longer render driving services to Biloi because he and his wife are now selling native delicacies using his motorcycle.
I need to report to my work, hence I was not able to accompany him to school that morning. At lunchtime, I called home thru cellphone and learned that he was not yet at home. I got worried knowing his condition especially that the weather was so hot and he has brought home his personal electric fan in their room.
Almost 4pm. I was glad to receive a text message from my nephew that Biloi is already at home. He rode on a motorcycle for hire and pay P15.00 fare since his Uncle Allan was no longer in Tolosa. His lunch was only "pancit" with bread.
At 5:00pm I immediately went home to check if he was ok. Well, he was happy having taken his exams. It was all multiple choice and I pressumed he has used the "guessing method" except for English which I believed he could answer albeit his absences. Again, I was so thankful to God for his endless blessings to him, although that night until now he's again having cough...but not coughing blood.
I am not giving him any medicines now since he has recently completed his antiobiotics for 7 days. I just let him take FERN C once a day.
He's now enjoying his school break from Oct. 27 to Nov. 2 in time for the All Saint's and Soul's Day celebration.
I am not sure if he could go back to school again on Nov. 3. I am just so thankful that his teachers do understand his condition. I knew his father is glad that he was able to take the exam and eventually continue his schooling.
God knows everything....and that's why I offer everything to him particularly Biloi's case.
To God be the Glory!
This blog is intended for my son, Roi or Biloi as fondly called by family and friends. "MY HEART'S JOURNEY" will keep track of his happiness and sufferings as he continue to survive despite denial of an open heart surgery, the only way to correct his heart defect due to doctor's fear of just losing him caused by his critical heart condition particularly his RV failure.
