I haven't been writing. Sometimes I get lost for words. The magnitude of the blessings I got and the lessons learned from what my mom had to go through left me at lost for words to describe how the Lord showed that He is in control.
But let me try anyway :)
So it's been almost two weeks since my mom has finally been discharged from the hospital. Just three days short of commemorating the day we rushed her to the hospital. That was a total of 27 days filled with tears, fears, worries, anxiousness, faith, hope and love. Emotions that held me captive. But now that it's over, I honestly find myself a bit drained. Lost, even.
But of course I will be forever grateful to my Lord for seeing me through. Me, my mom and my entire family. Guess what, I went with my mom for her first check-up since her discharge yesterday. We visited three doctors and all are just happy to see my mom on her feet walking and sitting across them at their clinics. Instead of seeing her lying on the hospital room for days. Hearing the doctors saying that she looks normal enough and tests are normal too makes me marvel at it all. I remember that particular Saturday morning with tears streaming down my face as the doctor urges me to go talk to my mom in her comatose state and say my goodbyes...
Clearly, no one can tell the future but the God I serve.
So, as I end this blog series of my mom's struggle to fight her illness and my own family's struggle to cope with the huge hospital fees, I want to express my thanks to everyone who prayed, who texted, who gave money, who loaned me money, who brought me food... everyone of you who cared enough... you are appreciated. I've been telling my mom about each of you and she is amazed that people who hasn't even met her have all unselfishly helped. From me and my entire family, I have nothing to say but a prayer...

Heavenly Father, You know each and everyone who choose to be involved with me and my family during this time. Please remember them and repay what I cannot repay. Bless them mightily, Lord and give back the blessings they shared hundred fold.
As for me and my family, I pray that the lessons learned from all this will forever be in our hearts. The strength I got from You, my Lord may never leave me. The faith that is in me may never waver and the love that I receive may forever be above all other emotions.
Lord, you know what is in my heart. Heal me of whatever is lurking there that I know is there. Amen.
Thanks be to God! He is really amazing. Our Healer. Great provider. :-)
