We Actually Shot Scenes For The TV Program

As I have stated recently, one program researcher of a TV show from Manila contacted us and informed us of their interest with our case. And they actually been here this weekend.

On Saturday, we have shot scenes while Zyruz is asleep, how we take care of him when apnea attacks, and a lot more. On Sunday, we shot scenes while he is at play, interviewed us and some scenes while we are supposedly leaving the house for Manila.

We were supposedly leaving today, as per conversation with the PR. But she said, there are some conflicts with the schedule of the doctors. But she assured, we will be going to Manila in September, for check-up and possible operation.

The PR also said, they will do all they can do to help us including the operation, they will try to convince the doctors.

By this time, we are not only excited to go to Manila for the check-up and possible operation but also excited to see our story on television.

Here's the trailer of the said television show.

Hopefully, This Is The Answer To Our Prayers.

I have a conversation today with a program researcher (PR) of a TV station based in Manila. She said, they are interested with the case of my son. I am not quite sure if they will be featuring our story, but as our conversation went on, we are probably be flying to Manila very very soon.

It is not still clear at this moment if their program will shoulder everything, every expenses when we are in Manila. But she told me that they will shoulder our fares and they already have communications with St. Luke's Hospital.

So, let's cross our fingers. Hopefully, this is the fruit of our labor, the answer to all our prayers.


Thank You All!

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Can Be Fatal

One of the symptoms common to people with Sleep Apnea is the excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Common but something that should be given proper attention.

Narcolepsy, as Wikipedia describes, is a chronic sleep disorder. A person could experience extreme fatigue and possibly falls asleep at inappropriate time, such as while at work or at school.

Narcoleptics usually experience disturbed nocturnal sleep and an abnormal daytime sleep pattern, which is often confused with insomnia.

I have learned from one of my friends on myLot, that one person died just because she was a narcoleptic. She fell asleep at the wheel of her car.

Sleep Apnea Is A Very Serious Concern

This is what most of my friends from myLot believe. They are mostly common people who don't have medical background or education. But they have at least one family member that snores at sleep, so they understand the danger of apnea, what it could cause if the patient have not given proper attention.

What makes us feel sad regarding Sleep Apnea is that, not everyone is aware of this kind of health condition. Some will even have a great laugh when they see one person snoring so loudly.

The worst part of this is, even some medical professionals do not take this condition very serious. Yes, they know about apnea and even believe this will lead to some more serious health problems, like heart attack, hypertension, etc. But they don't move fast, so easy and calm to tell you, "don't be hysteric or be rattled." Won't you feel that way if you see your child suffering?

One friend also said, "A lot of people are uneducated about the condition so it's up to you to explain to them and how it's dire that your child gets the help he needs."

So I hope I can reach more people with this writing, and let them understand how serious Sleep Apnea is.

A New Look of the Site

We have made some changes with the look of this site.

The top portion of the page features an image of the subject child Zyruz. It has links to some sites and pages within the site.

Now you can see how or where you can send your donations if you wish to help for the surgery of the child. You can easily contact us with a simple form found in the Contact page.

We also set-up a Guestbook found at the right portion of the page, so you can leave your message/greetings for Zyruz to make him feel that you care.

We are still trying to make the site look better, so please feel free to give your comments and suggestions from anywhere within the site.

God Bless.

Please, Help Save This Child

We Are Just Unlucky To Be Poor

For almost a month now of trying to get help for the surgery, we have already collected almost 20% of the total estimated cost. Still too far from it. But we are very hopeful to get at least 40 to 50 percent by next week, so that we can already set the date for the procedure.

We are very thankful to the Lord that you are there, supporting us with our prayers. I even said one time, if only prayers could pay the hospital bills, then I guess the surgery have long been done. But of course not, hospital is a business. And we are just unlucky that we need their help for our child and that we are poor.

Anyway, here is the list of sites where you can also find us.

Still A Long Way To Go

We started ways to raise funds for the surgery. And we are overwhelmed with the outcome. So far, we have reached about 15% of the total estimated cost.

We thank everyone who support us from the beginning. Everyone from myLot especially Auntie Marti. All the friends from TUP-MTI and from Facebook. From the workplace, friends and relatives. We also, of course, thank all those who have pledged and still wait for the right time.

But this is still not over and still a long way to go. We still have to work harder to reach our goal. We hope more and more people will do their share when they find it in their hearts to do so.

We badly need your help.
