If two weeks ago I am a full time mommy last week I had a stressful week and I become a full time wife.
Last week I had a lot of realizations in my life, I thought I just have an ordinary day and looking forward for my long weekend vacation. But my ordinary day becomes my stressful week and for the first time I got scared for my husband’s condition.
My husband has been complaining of stomach ache last Monday I thought it’s just an ordinary pain and I gave him a pain reliever and I told him to take a rest. The next day he was able to go to work and that night we had so much fun playing with our Little Kulit we also watched dvd. Wednesday he is the first one who leave the house for work, around 730am when I am about to leave the house I received a text from him that he is complaining for stomach ache and if I can go to his office, I thought he was joking me kasi naman knowing my husband for a long time malakas ang tolerance niya sa pain. But after five minutes I received text with the same message so I was calling him na and will ask his whereabouts unfortunately he was not answering my calls. I decided to go to his office calmly but after 10 calls he finally answered it and he told me that he is in pain and hindi niya na kaya so I immediately rushed to his office, when I arrived there is already an ambulance and by that time I knew it’s a serious condition.
I immediately rushed him to the ER of MCM because that is the nearest hospital in his office after he took a pain reliever he asked to have a cbc and urinalysis after three hours of waiting in the ER the doctor told us it’s UTI and prescribed us some antibiotics. On our way home he is complaining that he is pain again I told him to drink his medicines and sleep when we get home. But he cannot sleep he keeps on moving and complaining that he is in pan after two hours I asked him if he wants me to bring him to the hospital again and he said yes. Its medical center of Parañaque is the nearest hospital in our house, at the ER they gave him a pain reliever thru IV and in their initial findings he has some kidney stones. October 29, 2014 is one of my longest nights I was not able to sleep because he is in pain and I cannot do anything to ease his pain. He keeps on moving hindi niya na alam what position para he can sleep and not to feel the pain from 8pm up to 5am he had so much pain.
The next day we are scheduled for a 930am ultrasound unfortunately it was 1140am when we had the ultrasound. Eto pa ang nag pa stress sa araw ko the nurse told us if puwede na bumalik daw kami the next day for his ultra sound, I talked to her nicely and I explained that my husband is in pain for two days now and we want to know what is wrong if they can perform the ultrasound now, ang reason madami daw naka line up and I asked her where is the line no one is here, kesyo madami na daw sila pinauwi and by that time I got pissed off na I told her if you don’t perform the ultrasound right now and something bad will happen to my husband I will file a complaint against you and to this hospital. After 10 minutes okay na ang ultrasound. And the theory is confirmed he has kidney stones, UTI and gas spasm.
Thanked God after four days he is now free from pain and now I am free from stress.
Now what I realized after my stressful week;
1. I love my husband so much and I cannot afford to see him in pain
2. I must be more thankful that I have Sherwin in my life
3. I realized that things can happen in a snap
4. I realized that God let me understand what is the meaning of life
5. I realized what is the essence of being a wife
6. I realized what is the essence of “In sickness and In health” in our wedding vows
7. I realized that health is wealth
8. I realized the importance of health card
9. I realized the importance of presence of mind
10. I realized that my family will not let me down if I am in a difficult situation.
Praise the Lord, your husband is doing better now. Honestly, while I was reading your blog, I started to feel scared. With God’s guidance and support of your loved ones, I’m sure you’ll be able to get through! Get well soon to your dear husband!
Thank you 🙂 I really prayed hard that nothing bad will happen to my husband and thanked God he is now okay.
Before I thought stressful once your kid is feeling sick ganon din pala sa husband
What happened with his kidney stones? Did he have a surgery?
Hi no surgery, they prescribed some medicines to flush out the kidney stones
Oo nga, did he have a surgery? I’m so glad you were able to have the ultrasound. I can’t speak for medical staff as a whole, but some need to have more compassion.
I hope magtuloy-tuloy na recovery ng husband mo. I had a similar experience in a hospital. Dinudugo na ako (I was pregnant) and we needed to have a TVU. They asked us to add 1k so the doctor will come earlier (7am). Low and behold, despite paying extra, the doctor still came at her usual time (11am). The worst part is, after the ultrasound, they advised na tanggalin na si baby. That’s when we decided to transfer to a different hospital where my real OB is.
Our baby is turning two on December and he is healthy. Imagine na lang if we listened to the first doctor!
May mga doctors na inconsiderate talaga, imagine today I went to his doctor and asked if he can sign the SSS sickness form and he replied he need to charge another 2k because its already late. I answered him back no thanks your not a good doctor.
Buti na lang you did not listen to your OB by that time imagine mawawala baby mo
Yeah! thank God your hubby is ok now and pain free. It was a relief for you as well.
Yes when he feels better na I said thanked God and goodbye stress
I had severe stomach pain before and I went to ER. One thing I love in ER, alaga ka pero siguro depende sa hospital. In my case kasi within three hours natapos sa kin, like CBC and urinalysis and nagpa ultrasound din ako just to check kung may stones. Fortunately, UTI and hyperacidity lang. Kaya nga mas mahal rate ng ER kasi mabilis ang result and emergency nga so bawal magwait. Health is wealth talaga.
Siguro depende sa hospital, my mom told me sana we went straight to Asian for faster transaction unlike in MCM and MCP we’ve waited for hours and the only thing they said “Masakit po talaga yan”
I hope and pray that everything will continue to be well.
Thank you 🙂
I hope your husband feels better soon – and stays to be OK!
Hi Mommy Aggie, thanked God he is now feeling better kahit hindo pa na flush out kidney stones
In times like that, talagang magdadamayan ang husband and wife 🙂 I have been in the same situation (although my husband had an ACL tear) and it was the worst three or so month in our life. But like you, I was there beside him 🙂
I hope the husband is feeling better now 🙂
Thank God the husband is okay. But kidney stones are no joke so dapat talaga ingatan. Anyway, I am also reading Rica’s blog and she mentioned there that wife should prioritize their husbands first and then their children. At first I just can’t believe it. And I don’t understand. But she made a whole blog post post about it, then I finally get it. We should always always prioritize our husbands because we are the foundation of every family. Dapat strong muna ang foundation to have a strong family diba? Loving the child would come naturally and even better pag alagang alaga ang husbands. We come from a culture kasi na anak lang lagi. Mali pala. So now, I am making extra effort to take care of my husband more and not forget his needs just because we have a baby. Kahit na may negative na nangyari, I am just awed at how positive you are. Lucky husband! 🙂
What a scary and stressful situation! I don’t know if could have handled it as well as you if I were in your shoes. Thanks God husband is okay now. Hoping for his full recovery. Despite that, I’m sure your marriage is so much stronger now than ever before. Praise God. 🙂
good to know everything turned out fine despite the issues encountered 🙂
I hope and pray husband is ok na. My dad had the same problem and he was on board a cargo ship that time, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. It’s just too scary.
I got stressed out and so worried just reading this! I’m so relieved to hear that your husband’s doing better. Galing that you kept calm the whole time 🙂 Praying for your husband’s full recovery!
