July 21, 2013 A Chance for Life Fun Run

We would like to thank all of you for supporting our fund raising for Baby Justin “A Chance for Life Fun Run”. Special thanks to Sir Keith, Ms. Pam Tan and their friends for organizing this event as well as to the sponsors ( I-STOP, Crystal Clear, Miriam College High School Community and Team Rescue 8). Through this event, you were be able to help Baby Justin for his medications here in Taiwan.  You are all Baby Justin’s angels. Again, thank you very much  for giving him a chance to live. God bless us all! 

The day we've been waiting for.

 June 25, 2013 was the day we've been waiting for.  I was very nervous and yet very excited for Justin to have a chance to live a better and normal life.

I entered the operating room at 8am.  Russel (daddy of Justin )  and Martin (my nephew) received the good news after 8 hours of the operation that it was a successful one.  I was transferred to the I.C.U for further care by 5pm but Justin was still at the operating room.  It took for the team to finish Justin's operation for almost 13 hours. He was transferred at the I.C.U by 9pm.

First day in I.C.U

                                       Cleaning of his wound.


                                                                      He is very hungry.  He wanted milk.

                                                               He is enjoying his stay at the I.C.U.

                                                             Finally, he was out from the I.C.U after 2 weeks.

                            More than 1 week of stay at the ward.  The doctors are monitoring his protein, potassium and sodium.

                                                Very energetic and playful despite of having 2 drainage in his tummy.

Start of our Journey in Taiwan

June 14 was our flight going to Kaoshiung, Taiwan for my son's liver transplant.  He was very excited to the point even we gave him a medicine for him to fall asleep he was still very energetic.  He was awake for the whole time we were at the airplane.  We were very afraid because he might vomit a blood during the take off.  God's never leave us alone.  Justin played and enjoyed his flight then.

We were confined for our work ups last June 16.  

Many laboratory tests like M.R.I, Liver CT Angiogram, Liver Ultrasound, Chest X-ray were conducted.  Also, series of blood extractions to find out if we are really matched. 

Justin after his M.R.I. He was still sleeping due to the anesthesia.

PGH confinement for the 2nd time :-(

Baby Justin once again confined last May 27-30, 2013 at Philippine General Hospital due to fever and bleeding.
