Note to Self :)

You can never get tired of love, because if you truly, deeply, fully love people, there is no doubt that they will share it back, though that love will surely be transformed into something more beautiful. Love seems to be an infinite commodity. And you always have to place your heart where it receives the most love. Stretch the heart, because love will make it full anyway. :) 

Yesterday was truly, deeply, fully a revelatory event for me. I understand now the oft-used phrase: "I love because God has loved me first." Because how could so much love exist in the world if it did not come from an infinite source? Love is our first experience of our final destiny with God. Yesterday, I was overwhelmed with that experience, in the most positively profound way possible. Salamat Panginoon, pinaalala mo sa akin na it's all worth it. :D

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is the condition wherein alveoli are inflammed and filled with fluid. It may be caused be a variety of pathogens including viruses, fungi, parasites and bacteria. Complications include septic shock resulting from spreading of the pathogens from the infected lung through the bloodstream to virtually anywhere in the body.

Astig ng wikipedia noh. All you need to know. hahaha.
My brother (Kevin) has had this illness for about 3-4 days now and he's been admitted to the hospital in the hopes of expediting his recovery. It all started with a boil (indicating his weakened resistance) and now this.

When they discovered that he had it (with a chest X-ray), I was a bit surprised. I haven't heard anyone I know with this condition. I suppose a normal body resistance is sufficient to fight the many pathogens that cause this disease. We're still trying to figure out why his immune system weakened.

I'm posting this here because I know he needs all the prayers he can get. I am confident God the super-healer will cure Him in His own time. Maganda din na kinakatok Siya often para dun. hehe.



UPDATE:
My brother is out of the hospital and back here sa bahay. Thank God! Ambilis! Compared to the two weeks of Ate Frances' Dad, my brother only had to stay for 3 days.

Buti na lang his condition was detected early on. Only less than 1/4 of the lung cavity was affected and filled up with fluid. I pressume the cause of the pneumonia was bacterial since well, the medication prescribed were extremely powerful (and expensive) antibiotics. Imagine you could buy a pocketbook with every capsule he took. hahaha.

So he's back and he's feeling a lot better. There is still some fluid in his lungs which causes him to cough a lot. But my parents say continuous medication would clear the fluid out.

Thank you for all the prayers. :D My parents forbid my brother to tell his friends that he was in the hospital so as to keep them from visiting him since his disease was infectious. Haha. Pero siyempre ako pinost ko pa sa blog. hahaha.

Ayun. Thank God ambilis Niya magpagaling. :D
