Dear Mama,
After Angel last Tuesday, it was Edgar's turn yesterday (Thursday) to be rushed to the emergency room of the hospital. He has fever and felt cold, Mama. We know that when Edgar lies down, it only means he's not okay. He is just like you, Mama. He will tolerate the pain as long as he can.
When I went home from work yesterday, I took him to the hospital. We stayed there from 4 pm until past 8 pm, Mama. They did a lot of laboratory procedures on him - dengue, CBC, urinalysis, X-ray, and even COVID, Mama. It was fortunate that all the tests were negative.
However, everything took more than 4 hours. Edgar was in pain and cold while we're at the hospital. What made it even worse was that he was seated all throughout our stay there. There was no available bed in the ER, Mama.
As per his update now, he feels better. Although he is under medications, Mama. He has antibiotics, and still taking paracetamol. Same with Angel.
I'm sorry we were not able to celebrate your birthday, Mama. And I'm also sorry for letting our kids be sick. It's really different when a mother is caring for them.
I wish you were here, Mama.
Daddy
