2:30 am and my son asked for more food, gutom pa raw sya.
Buti na lang the small Seattle’s Best on the ground floor of the Cardinal Santos Hospital is open 24 hours. I bought one spicy tuna pasta and 3 corned beef pandesal.
Seattle’s best
Tulog na lahat ng tao at multo dito sa hospital, ako gising pa.
I made sure I went to the right room. Baka mapagkamalan akong magnanakaw ng mga bags.
My son finished this spicy tuna pasta from Seattle’s Best in 5 minutes.
Mom——— “Anak, how’s your pasta?”
Nyke——– “Your pasta is better”.
I ate one and he ate two pieces of corned beef pandesal
2:45 am— the nurse came back and gave me a hospital kit containing a bottle of water, plastic cup, spoon, fork, one roll of toilet paper, one white face towel with a logo of Cardinal Santos Hospital and one tiny round soap.
I forgot to bring alcohol so this tiny bottle is just perfect.
I requested from the nurse a weewee bottle for my son kasi problema paano sya pupunta sa toilet.
Tila typo error, hindi Mcbride. Dapat McBirde kasi for the birdie.
I wish we had this when my son was still little para pag traffic, hindi na kami naghahanap ng banyo. This is practical, especially nowadays, super traffic always.
Maregaluhan nga si husband nito sa Valentine’s day.
Bumili rin kaya ako nito para sa ref sa office, para walang uminom ng buko juice ko.
If you live in a dorm where there’s a common ref, this plastic urinal would protect your water from mang-iinom ng tubig na hindi kanya.
Ano kaya ang hitsura ng female urinal? Pareho ng arinola? Tila hindi.
I think mukhang palanggana.
There’s a face towel in the kit, I used it to give my son a quick sponge bath then I washed it twice. Ayaw ko yung location ng sampayan, right above the unidoro, baka malaglag, eh di shoot na shoot.
I brought pangligo, towel, extra clothes. After seeing what looks like a buntot ng butiki on the bathroom floor, ayaw kong maligo dito.
3 am
After I have prepared everything my son would be needing for the next few hours, I settled in and prepared my bed.
Oh oh. Hindi ako suplada pero hindi ko talaga type humiga dito. Parang nakikilabutan ako.
I tried cleaning it by spraying alcohol.
Dirty talaga.
I didn’t know that my son was observing me.
Nyke——— “Mom, are you really going to clean that? Seriously?
Mom———- “Anak, it’s very dirty and I don’t want to lie down here”.
Nyke——— “Mom, really? You’re going to clean that? This is hilarious”.
Mom———- “Ang dumi kasi anak”.
After a few minutes of bending over, sumakit na bewang ko so I stopped. I remembered what Edmund told me while I was preparing to go to the hospital. He told me to bring a maid para daw meron akong assistant. Mahihirapan daw ako. I told him it’s just for a night. At problemahin ko pa sya, san sya matutulog, alangan namang lapit kami. Iintindihin ko pa kung kumain na sya. Dati nagsama ako, tumaba lang sya sa kakakain sa canteen. Pero at this moment, parang gusto ko ngang magsisi, sana nagdala ako ng maid para malinis nya itong sofa.
I thought of sleeping na lang on this chair. Kunwari nasa eroplano ako.
Pero tila madumi rin itong silya.
Tulog na ang pasyente ko, I need to catch some sleep, kahit sana two hours. It’s almost 4 am. I locked the room door.
Medyo duling na ako sa antok pero ayaw kong matulog kasi nga yung sofa.
Pero antok na talaga ako. I have no choice but to lie down on this couch. Sige na nga.
I covered it with the Hello Kitty blanket and used my towel as blanket.
I closed my eyes and thanked the Lord for seeing us through today and yesterday.
