JULY 2

Gulo pa ang isip ko medyo nag uumpisa pa lang mag sink in sa akin ang nangyari. 10 am matapos makapagpa-reserve sa ambulansya ay dinala namin ang aking ina sa UST. Initial na gastos:

MRI= 14kphp
Ambulance=7kphp

Wala pa atang isang oras yun. Mabilis pala talaga ang byahe pag nasa ambulansya ka. Imagine from UN avenue to espana wala pang 10 mins. Eh kung sumakay ako ng jeep nun sa kalaw isang oras nasa Quiapo pa lang ako. Back to topic. Wala pang isang oras 20kphp na agad ang nabawas. Wala kami magawa.

Initial findings Infarct sa brain stem. Which is naging findings na din ng kanyang consultant. Infarct according to wiki:

"In medicine, an infarction is the process of tissue death (necrosis) caused by blockage of the tissue's blood supply. The supplying artery may be blocked by an obstruction (e.g. an embolus, thrombus, or atherosclerotic plaque), may be mechanically compressed (e.g. tumor, volvulus, or hernia), ruptured by trauma (e.g. atherosclerosis or vasculitides), or vasoconstricted (e.g. cocaine vasoconstriction leading to myocardial infarction)."

Whatever that means. In laymans term namatay ang isang part ng brain ng aking nanay because of barado or di nasupplayan ng blood(oxygen).The part is thalamus to be exact. Ang thalamus naman ay ang part ng brain wich is according again to wiki:

"The thalamus also plays an important role in regulating states of sleep and wakefulness.^[4]thalamo-cortico-thalamic circuits that are believed to be involved with consciousness. The thalamus plays a major role in regulating arousal, the level of awareness, and activity. Damage to the thalamus can lead to permanent coma."

Kami naman stroke=sakit ng mayaman. Since di naman kami mayaman parang isa syang iceberg sa amin. Malaki, masakit malamig whatever.

So there it is and we have to deal with it. Everyday is a blessing yan ang naging mantra ko. Sad thing after 2 days di pa din gumigisin mama ko..
