dear steemit family
here i am today knocking into your generous hearts and ask for URGENT HELP!
my grandmother is admitted in chong hua hospital for 6 days now and is in a dire situation. she suffered from pulmonary edima, pneumonia, acute stroke (2nd time), head injury and an enlarged heart. she needs to be put to ICU as soon as possible because she cant breath so well, but the hospital wont let us put her in there unless we paid 75% of our current bill which is equivalent to 52k php or 285 sbd's. I dont have that amount right now because i am out of sbds and steem and fiat. thats why I am here right now to ask for your help, i dont have anywhere else to go. i have asked my relatives and friends for help. but it is still not enough.
they also said that the ICU cost 25-30k {138 - 165 sbd) per day. I have no idea where to get that kind of money. all my arduino tutorials is not enough to pay for the bill, it was only enough for her down payment.
the doctor said her lungs have water in them, causing it to supply less oxygen to the body. that's why her heart cope up with it and pumped strongly to assist the lungs but this also made her heart grow in the process. now, her heart is so enlarged that its giving her even more trouble. they said that her heart can no longer shrink, and the only thing that they can do is to stop it from growing even more. they are giving her medication that will make the lung water flush out her body.
the second thing they said is that, she has a head injury. after her ct scan they saw that there is a trace of blood in her head. this was because of her fall in the morning right before she was admitted.
this was due to my stupid mistake, i did not put any block in the side of her bed. i did not think that she could fall, because she was sleeping so soundly. this was the night where she was able to slep after a day of sleepless night because of her cough. i was very happy that night because she was finally able to slep properly. i stayed awake until 4 am. but i woke up hearing her calling doooonnnnggg... in a very weak tone. as i opened my eyes i saw her already lying flat in the floor drenched with her urine. this made my slepy eyes fully awake as i jumped from the sofa and help her up. then brought her immediately to the hospital.
the third thing they said is that she had an acute stroke again! this is the second stroke attack she experienced and this time it hit her very hard. she has completely loss her ability to speak and loss her right part of the body.
as you can see, her situation is very complicated. she cant take solid foods and cant swallow her medications .that is why they put a tube inside her nose. it is all going through using the tube.. it was very painful to watch when they inserted it. i felt the pain she experienced just by looking at her agonizing face. but there was nothing that i could ever do for her, all i did was cheer her up while touching and squeezing her feet.
she also has high blood pressure and diabetes so they needed to keep monitoring her bp and sugar level to the point where her fingers are full of holes from the needle used to get a sample of her blood.
Her blood sugar is always above 150 so they always inject her stomach with insulin to deliver the sugar to her body.
Now, her tummy is full of holes also. Its so painful to watch her getting all this wounds but its for her sake so we just have to bear with it.
her oxygen supply level right now is set to double the normal rate (21) but she is still gasping heavily and shes always having cold sweat.
i dont know what to do anymore, my mind is getting so confused , I am so afraid for the well being of my grandmom, I am not ready to lose her , shes the one who took care of me all these years, after I was born she was always there for me, the least I could do is to be with her and do everything I can for her.
So, here I am now. asking/begging for everyone ones help in this platform. even if its a little it would be really helpful for us and I would be forever grateful.
Please also help me pray for her because God is the greatest healer of all. I know He will be there for her we just got to trust in HIM.
Thank you very much for all your help.
