For the past weeks, Ben has been having high fever, and despite the rests wherein he gets a bit better, he sinks back into his fever after feeling well enough to go out to visit friends.
A week later, though, it's gotten worse... he's been vomiting anything he's eaten, so he has not had any nutrition. Plus he's started complaining of stomach pains - whether due to his cough or due to something more, we don't know yet. But what we did know was we couldn't not let him go to the hospital, and if need be, have him confined where he can undergo all the needed tests and be monitored 24/7 by the nurses.
Well, that's exactly what happened. After holy week has passed, Dict and Bea brought him to Cardinal's emergency room where it was decided that Ben needed to be hospitalized.
Barbie has been contacting her siblings in Dubai, since they need to help pitch in... even if only in financial terms. In between though, she's been doing her Google searches, to try and zero in on what is wrong with Ben. The results aren't promising... in fact, they're downright alarming. For a family that is just recovering from the loss of their dad, this is the last thing they need. We hope and pray that the worse case is not the case, but looking at Ben's lifestyle... as rare as the case may be, it could happen to him. That's what sucks... the other? Ben's a health buff... this should not be happening to him - though going to public gyms may indeed be a possible source of his problem too.
Damn... damn. Things like this can make people question the existence of a God, and why he seemingly makes this happen to a family that is, for all intents and purposes, making sure they are doing what is right in this world. But it's this same family which has a never give up attitude that might, hopefully get over this new problem. There is always hope.
