Winning Over Leukemia With the Family
Cool, calm and collected. Are these what we really feel? Or what we are trying to feel? I guess it’s more of the former than the latter. Two days back, Dr. Jeannie Ong, may daughter Yam’s pediatrician in Davao, briefed us on Yam’s bone marrow aspirate analysis. It was negative for blasts, the immature blood cells that can rapidly multiply to a leukemia level. But her bone marrow remained hypo-cellular, meaning it is not yet producing enough blood cells. The first was enough to allay our fears of a leukemia relapse – one that was not ruled out until this result came out. This result was also sufficient to make us feel this way – cool, calm and collected. But are these not the feelings that aptly describe one who musters courage under stress and distress? While Yam was at San Pedro Hospital, her energy level spiked up each time her elder brother John visited her from his work in Polomolok. Upon our arrival at the airport, her eyes sparkled at the sight of her other elder brother Joseph. Last night, she silently listened to her brother Joseph as he related listing her as his dependent in his group health insurance and her hospitalization will be partly paid for by this. And when her elder sister Janice arrived from school to pay her a visit and spend the night with her, her lips widened with a smile. She then rose up and bantered with her until they retired for the night. Cool, clam and collected, Mom and Dad sat down and watched at the kids and observed them do their thing, silently looked at each other, and satisfied and convinced why they felt this way. |
