nicole had 2 strokes for the past couple of weeks. & she is merely 10 years old. after she turned 10 last jan 21st, her visits & stays at the pcmc {philippine children's medical center} were never ending.
not only is she suffering from an enlarged heart, she would develop a 'cerebral infarct' without warning causing the stroke. the last event which caused panic & mourning to everyone was last saturday when she could no longer feel half of her body. she just got admitted a week before complaining of pain in her left legs which we learned in the hospital was a symptom of a stroke. she got home feeling better last friday & unanticipatedly got struck w/ the worst effect of a stroke only a day after. she only played computer that afternoon, which maybe wasn't good for her. she laid down her bed after a few hours then dad heard her crying. i was sleeping beside my daughter so i wasn't completely aware of what's happening. she wet her bed, due to the numbness she couldn't control it. my tita panicked as soon as she saw nik motionless w/ her eyes closed. she eventually opened her eyes & cried silently. that's when we realized why she's hurting. she can barely open her left eye. she looked so different we all cried in grief. dad & the rest rushed her to the hospital in a few minutes.
God must've never forgotten her for she's stable & better now. the stroke did not permanently damage her face, her body. she can now move normally but still weak. she can't eat yet. she still has pending neuro lab tests. my tita ebeth's scouting for some sponsors from the congress to support my niece's financial needs for her medication & tests.
i know kuya benjo, nik's dad who's in heaven now, will help his baby nik get better...
