It was mid 2014 when wacky and I grab the offer to become one. Thinking that It's just a part time job and it's not going to eat all our time. Not knowing that attending meetings and branch meetings are necessary even if its just a part time post. Eventually, I accepted the challenge and attended all the necessary trainings and took the licensure exam. In the beginning it was ok. I'm still enjoying and challenged that I can meet the requirements for validation. However come December 2014 I have to be admitted. An unexpected circumstance came in. My doctor recommended a 24 hrs monitoring as I have issue with the amount of amniotic fluid while child-bearing, it is called Oligohydramnios (It occurs when not enough amniotic fluid, which surrounds the fetus, is produced.) The doctor advised me to take 2-4 liters of water for 24 hrs in able to gain more fluids.
A day had pass and I was transferred to the recovery room from the monitoring area. I'm about to sleep when I felt my water broke. My partner called a nurse and a resident doctor check on me. I'm 1 cm already. My due still a month too far from giving birth. My ob-gynecologist decided to perform Emergency Cesarean Section the following day. Blood pressure and Blood glucose kept monitored. Fetal heart beat also being monitored. water keeps coming out little by little/
I don't know where did I get my strength. Seeing a lot of patients having contractions and preparing to give birth in normal delivery was a not so good experience. I felt strange and thinking what If I'm on their shoe.. what or how would I react? My pain tolerance is so little. That night, I wasn't able to sleep well. I'm thinking about the operation.
December 18, 2014 -- at 8 o'clock AM they transferred me to the operating room and preparing me for the operation. My anesthesiologist was very nice. As far as I remember he gave me 5 shots of spinal anesthesia before it take effect. approximately 8:45 am, I gave birth to a little boy. who was already blue during that time but they were able to made him cry. My soon to be husband wasn't able to see all the happenings inside the operating room but he was able to see how our little boy survive and fight to see the outside world.
Here he is.. our little koko. Rafael Joaquin. 17 months old. Slowly growing up and exploring every little things he can do.
We named after him our little shop because he is our biggest blessing from up above. He is our joy and our strength. He made our dreams come true to became one. He is all that matters to us. All our hard work is for his future and for our small but happy family, surrounded with loving lolo and lola, tito, tita and cousins.
