Dear Mama,
It's 9:35 p.m. now and I was about to sleep, but I remembered we might have no electricity tomorrow at 5 a.m. I'm not sure if we are included, but we need to prepare. So, I'm filling our pails with water now, Mama. You know how it is here, when there's no power, there's also no water.
I am still coughing, Mama. It's irritating. It hasn't stopped yet, and also I still have this recurring headache in the morning. Are all these signs of growing old, Mama?
Angel has been going to the doctors, Mama. Last Monday, with her doctor for follow up, and as usual she has been prescribed with medicines, antibiotic included. She was also advised to see a dermatologist, Mama. Because her doctor couldn't find anything wrong with her CBC, so he suspects it might be from her skin. So, she went to the dermatologist today, Mama. She was prescribed with more medicines by the derma.
She was also advised to have a regular session with lighting exposure something, I forgot the actual term, Mama. But she will be exposed to certain lighting for a certain amount of time, which could help her clean her skin and make her skin asthma manageable. She will have to do this 2 to 3 times weekly, Mama. This is on top of her medicines from the derma and her regular doctor. This will drain my pocket again, Mama. But I just hope this will really cure her skin problem.
Ralph is already at work now, Mama. He left earlier at 8:00 p.m. Edgar has been into plants lately, Mama. He's been buying seedlings and pots. He is also looking for plants he can cut every time he is out. We have a lot of small pots at the back of the house. Hope he can grow them, especially the vegetables, Mama.
I guess that will be all for now, Mama. Sorry, I wasn't able to write to you lately.
I miss you, Mama.
I love you.
Daddy
