MEIMEI meets JE-AN

Posted on November 27, 2009 by MeiliLo

***For those of you who don’t know Je-An, please read my post about him HERE before you read this post Thanks.*** Baby Je-An had his check up last week and according to his mom, he weighs 3.3Kls (6.6lbs). They came over our house after his check up to submit the requirements that a family friend asked from them so that he can help Je-An have his open heart surgery sponsored by their organization / foundation as they are actively involved in helping the less fortunate. God Bless them! It is still for approval so I am asking you to help pray that all will be well and that the decision will be in favor of the baby. I am also currently emailing our yahoogroup members ( http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/colorectal_parents_philippines/) for some help if ever Je-An and his mom goes to PGH for the surgery.   As mentioned in my SHARE YOUR BLESSING post, there are 3 … Continue reading →

SHARE YOUR BLESSING

Posted on November 18, 2009 by MeiliLo

This afternoon my friend Cindy and I went to visit a baby boy named Jeff Andrei Las Pinas. My heart was moved when I saw him… Like Meimei, he too has imperforate anus (read my post if you don’t know what it is). The sad thing about it is little Je-An has congenital heart disease – a hole in his heart and biventricular enlargement. Like Meimei too, Je-An has colostomy, however, he can’t proceed with the 2nd operation (PSARP Surgery) unless his heart goes through an open heart surgery. He has difficulty in breathing – as in gasping for air. At the age of 5 months, he can only consume a maximum of 2 oz every 2-3hrs or else he may experience more difficulty in breathing. Unless his heart is repaired, baby Je-An won’t grow… At 5 months, he is still wearing his new born clothes because he only weighs about 5 – 6lbs. Considered as blue baby, his new born weight … Continue reading →

CHRISTMAS IN CHINA

Posted on November 16, 2009 by MeiliLo

Dear Elisha, I was browsing through some of our pictures in China when I saw our Christmas 2008 photos. OUR Christmas means including Meimei because she was already in my tummy. I bet she felt the joy and heard the laughter those evenings we had our Christmas parties with friends and with our OFW families in Jiaxing :) Not to mention dancing to the beat of the happy songs! To let you see the different events that took place in the different parties we went to, here are some of the pictures and a little description of what transpired. FOREIGNERS CHRISTMAS PARTY Every year, Speedy Tech (IMI-Jiaxing) sends representatives to this event and last year, your papa was chosen to represent the company in this gathering. The picture contains those who were seated with us that night as well as some of the special numbers presented to entertain the guests. After dinner, we went to Starbucks to meet … Continue reading →

Quality Time with my Kiddo

Posted on November 7, 2009 by LoMeili

As a mother, it is my heart’s desire to be the best that I can be which I believe is a normal thing. So I make sure I spend time with my kids. However, at sometimes, it’s hard to spend that quality time with one and not reject the other. Know what I mean? Especially that Meimei (my 2nd child) has a special need – and that is taking care of her colostomy and her dilations., sometimes I can’t help but “reject” some of Elisha’s (my first born) requests. So inorder to assure my son that I do love him and want to spend time with him, I have this DATE with him. Our “Date Day” is scheduled every Saturday afternoon after his children’s choir practice in church. Most of the time we go to the mall to do 2 things: (1) arcade to play basketball and (2) eat whatever … Continue reading →

Singko De Noviembre

Posted on November 6, 2009 by MeiliLo

Dear Meimei, Today is a special day (holiday for the Philippines) because it’s Singko De Noviembre. But to me, this day is special because it’s been a month since your PSARP surgery. I can’t thank God enough for a successful operation. So let me give you a picture of YOU today. You woke up at around 8am and as always, was excited for your bottomless mama’s milk Then your ahia EJ and I went out for our breakfast. After my breakfast I gave you a bath. After bath time was time for our dilation. You are currently transitioning from a size 9 to a size 10 Hegar Dilator. 3 of us did it – Manang Salvie (holding your legs), Yaya Angel (holding your upper body) and Moi (dilating). You were so strong and we really had a hard time. You cried angrily (who wouldn’t?!!) but we still had to do it. When we finished … Continue reading →
