Due to my LUPUS, my pregnancy and delivery was classified as HIGH RISK.And because I suffered from pre eclampsia, I have to be operated even if I have not feel any contraction.And so it boils down to me and my baby being monitored before and after the delivery.
I guess on my part everything went well but I was worried because I know that my baby might suffer NEO NATAL LUPUS.
Although, according to those I read it was not something to worry about. Because it will go away after six months.
When Joseph saw Anevay, I asked him what is his assessment. Is the baby ok? Is the baby healthy? And he said yes.
But the next day, July 24, Dr. B came knocking on my hospital room and introduce herself as a pedia - rheuma. And she delivered a very bad news. My baby has a heart block according to the ECG. I was saddened but it never dawned me that my baby is sick. And her sickness has no cure. It’s like a time bomb.
I blame myself. Though the doctors kept on telling me that it was not my faulth. Yet, it did not escape me that if only I did not have lupus things would be different.
I prayed. Prayed hard. And guess what ?
The next day, I was again visited by the rheuma - pedia. Dr. B. Ang guess what she told me ? The cardio who read the ECG of our baby committed a mistake! Because the ECG daw that was handled to him was just a copy and it was not that clear. Imagine that!
I could have put up a show and a fight because of the trouble that have given us but I was just to happy and relieve. I thank Dr. B.And thank God.Mahal was saying all the time ‘ See. I told you! Our baby is a figther. She is strong. Mana yan sa kin!’
Amen.
