I am not talking about the global economy, which I planned to blog about with the recent effect of the crisis to Asian markets and currencies. But my self who was shaken because my little princess is likely to have dengue.
If confirmed, she’s the first case in our condo/community. I also suspected that she was bitten by a dengue carrying mosquito in their school, where my daughter spent 60% of daytime. We intend to write the school authorities about this unfortunate incident since my girl missed the second periodical exam and spending her sem break in the hospital.
This is the first time my daughter was hospitalized, and it has shaken me. I have to sort out my emotions and distinguish Faith from positive thinking, and positive thinking from self denial. This kind of experience may be peanuts to some, but to me, this is an uncharted zone. I have fought several battles and the scars have caused me to be immune to pressure, but when your kid is involved, it will shaken shaken you.
As of this writing, we are awaiting the result of her platelet count. Her BP is stable, no fever and she desired food, after a long while. Earlier, I held her one hand, while she is in tears, as the doctors held the other hand struggling to get the right blood vessel for the dextrose.
One of the Pastors of our local church paid us a visit, anointed my girl with oil, and prayed over, as prescribed in the scriptures.
I also missed work today.
Wifey has proven her steadiness again as she faced the situation with coolness. We had a little discussion last night as I insist to bring our daughter to the hospital (I’m shaken, you know) but she prefer to look at the situation in a different perspective. Self denial, I thought, is not faith. Neither positive thinking.
According to Heb 11:1, Faith is the evidence of things hope for and the subsance of things not seen. But Faith will work only when one faced the facts. And this is a fact that we must face and choose to believe on God’s promises.
Thanks to those who kept our daughter in prayer, I will post updates as it happens.

Hi All,
Thanks for all your prayers and kind words. My little princess was discharged already from the hospital. The platelet count increased to normal levels and she’s eating, drinking normally now.
Thank God, there was no internal bleeding and no need for blood transplant.
Thanks again
Hope that your daughter is alright now. God bless!

I’d just like to include my best wishes for your daughter’s swift recovery from this illness, which isn’t something we have here in the UK. Parents shoulder the bulk of responsibility for the welfare of their child or children, and with that comes the guilt when something goes wrong! May the gods be with you and your little princess. x

@ Naomi– you’re correct, it’s different if your children in the one hospitalized.
Update peeps, platelet decreased from 142k to 102k in the morning. The eve test yield an increase from 102k to 125K but still below the normal levels.
Thanks again for the prayers.
having your kid confined at the hospital is no big joke…and it scares a lot of me and hubby! hoping your daughter would be well soon, and let her drink “tawa-tawa” (if you are familiar with that).

@ Angel– Wifey is suppose to join me on that event but since my little princess has fever, she stayed with her.
Thanks again people.
We are awaiting now for the latest platelet count. But she had no fever for the last 24 hours. Her desire for food and water in increasing.
Urine and stool looks fine, no sign of internal bleeding.
I’m praying that your daughter will recover soon. Children are the joys of life and it is very sad to see them suffering like this.

I hope your daughter gets well soon.
So sorry to hear about your daughter. Dengue is a serious matter and never to be taken lightly if suspected. Hopefully there will be more studies conducted by alternative medicine practicioners, IMO, so that there can be a remedy since conventional medicine cannot do anything right now except monitor.
I was just about to share to you about some good news about the blogging event, but here you are. Was your daughter still Ok when we saw each other that night?
Anyway, I will include her in my prayers. You seemed to be a strong person, but sometimes we still need challenges to make us even more stronger.
Just don’t stop believing…
