More painful to parents

We all know that when it comes to our children, we will do everything just to see them in good condition, with regards to their basic needs, health, school, etc. And it is very painful to parents to see them bad.

With Zyruz's health condition, the doctors wants to be sure what really causes his loud snoring and if it has really something to do with sleeping apnea.

The doctors recommendation is x-ray of the neck portion and sleep test.

Sleep test alone, in one and the only hospital who has facilities here in Cebu will cost us about 20,000 Pesos (or an equivalent to USD $415.00)

And we can't find that said amount to bring him to that hospital. We can't do anything, so far, as the economy is getting worst. The income I earn is just as enough for our basic needs.

It's so painful to see Zyruz in his condition as he sleeps. The chocking time, the untimely waking-up as he cries, as he cries for help. We can't do something to help him, but to make sure he will not again stay longer in that position. Only to put him on his sides. To monitor his position in his sleeps, and that's all.

So far, that is all we can do to help him. We have nothing to make sure his condition will get better or the problem disappears. Nothing, only when help comes.

The lighter side of Magiting

I came here again to share some of the lighter side of Zyruz. As you can see him in the clips, he is a very jolly, naught kid. And who can tell he suffers from sleeping disorder like sleep apnea.

We let him dance last night and see if we can catch some good clips. And he dances here, in the tune of "Nobody" by the "Wondergirls".

Please enjoy...

No more deep sleep with apnea

Aside from having light sleeps at night, to monitor how the child sleeps, one of the painful experiences for parents is to see the child sleeping uncomfortable.

There are lots of time you can see and feel that the child is uncomfortable while he is sleeping. He always move from side to side. He cannot stay in one position. You can compare it to the clock, who always in the move.

Worst, is when you hear the snore stops for awhile and then you see him as if was chocked. At this point, he usually gets awaken, and then he cries. And my wife usually gets awaken too. Or anyone sleeping beside him.

But what else can we do? So far, that's all, to monitor him while asleep.
To change his position if we feel he breathes with difficulties.
And have patience.
