NORMA S. CLAUDIO MAY27,1935 - APRIL 23, 2009

this is mommy,s favorite song some where my love, this is also the song my grand mother like lola moheng who was widowed early, every time i hear this song i will sure miss mommy

mommy died at 220am , April 23, 2009

THE SADDEST PART IS BREAKING THE NEWS TO DADDY , we had a small conference with nana,kuya hermie, lina, arlene, mila and tita lita, just planning how to tell it to daddy about Mommy's sudden death in the hospital.

ALL I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ANEW LIFE FOR MOMMY, A BODY WITH LESS CREATINIE, AND BODY TOXIN, WHOM I CAN TALK AND SPEND A LOT OF TIME AFTER DIALYSIS.

It hurts me alot, but what hurts me more i seeing my daddy cry with tears in his eyes, she loves mommy alot

I'm getting worried around 10pm kasi sleeping pa si mommy almost stupors, at 12 midnite, dad ask me why mommy is still sleeping at di pa na gising..... hindi ko ma paliwanag.... I'm beginning to sense na it is a complication sa dialysis nya.

again I called up Mommy's room 720, mila nida still there, they said the nurse inform them that mommy is ok just watch out for blood glucose and bp.
after several minutes i rec a txt that mommy is having fever38.4 c

than they called me at 145am that mommy is again having difficulty in breathing that I should go there now poste haste. i know something is happening there, they called me up to check my loSomewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through

You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again

[jazz instrumental-first four lines]

Someday we'll meet again, my love
I said "someday whenever that Spring breaks through"

You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, and as soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again!

cations every 10 mins. there after.

kung after te first dialysis, dapat stop muna para maka recover body, but in the morning the set her up for session 2.

upon reaching the 7th floor i could feel the eeriness of the place, all the nurses at the forward nurse station was looking at us, and how we will react, the the end of the corridor there was an armed guard, probably a standard operation procedure when someone has died to control the rage of a relative, i did not enter at once and talk to the Dr's first and they inform me that it is past the 30 minutes protocol to resuscitated mommy, its almost 45 mins, but they have the moral duty to continue til the relatives arrived.

when i entered my Mommy's room i can see her lifeless body, with tubes in his mouth, nss in his feet, and her breast almost burst by the hand pumping of her chest, I can see the mammary fluid oozing ..... i kissed her forehead so is Arlene, i don't know how t react at this moment, all I'm thinking is how to tell this news to daddy.

drop in blood pressure duing dialysis... panic tim for me

Mommy's legs , no more edema, the decision to have dialysis is not because of creatinine but by water retention and BUN

Arlene, mommy lit and Elena, nida and mila with mommy in PDF ( post dialysis fatigue) I was researching about PDF but after 10 pm mommy still did not wake up, panic sets in our family. this photo is around 4pm, i notice mommy always moving her legs and trying to wake up

This is one of the last photos of mommy alive at the hospital, it was taken around 4pm April 22, 2009.we are all waiting for her to regain consciousness, i noticed that her legs are always moving and she seems to move her head towards the voices she heard but with shut eyes, almost 3 times i thought she was looking at me and i wave and say " hi mommy" but it turns out she was still as sleep.

While i was taking this photo I cannot stand to see mommy in this state of health, i went home early and ahead of my mother in law and arlene. As of this very moment I am confident that we are just waring off the effects of benadryl and later on mommy will wake up and ask for food because her last meal was 7am mommy after arriving at the room from kidney center after drop in Blood pressure of 60/40 .

she never regained consciousness after being wheel in her room.

why was she brought back to the room not icu after some episode of decrease bp earlier

this is my sister elena and I at the 7th floor lobby of makati med, we are still waiting for mommy o be brought back to the room here, we are not aware here that in 10 hours mommy will succumb to dialysis complications...... our smiles here are for camera shot only, but deep in our hearts, worries for mommy,s sudden drop in bp

they said that this episode is regular to new patient in dialysis because thier blood i now clean and no more creatinine. yes I also read that, so is PDF post dialysis fatique

When Mommy was having adverse reaction at her second dialysis, i cannot stand in the dialysis room to see her so weak and unconscious, I proceeded at the next door "floating island Restaurant" and waiting or developments about the progress of her recovery, i ordered coffee and sandwiches but i cannot concentrate on what i was eating my mind is on the other room I return to the hospital at around 11 am, just to drop by and cheer up mommy at the dialysis center, as I ask permission at he Kidney center, i was inform that my mother is having a toxic incident, or a procedure is being done to her... when I enter the room i saw several doctors around her bed, in panic, the bed was head inclined down so that the blood to the head will flow, a lot of machines are connected, this is panic time for me

later i asked the doctor that mommy blood glucose dropped so is her bp

Last day of mommy

April 22, 2009 630 am

here she is holding copy of Philippine daily Inquirer before breakfast .

This is my mother 19 hours before her seizure, or 2 hours before 2nd dialysis

I brought with me a couple of Mac donalds hotcakes with me which she said she doesn't want hot cakes, but she likes sandwiches instead....... so i again go down to MacDonald's and buy several sandwiches for breakfast

when I arrived at the room, mommy s being routinely bp taken and body temp by the nurse

I arrived at the hospital at 515am April 22, to sign waiver for mommy dialysis today which was to start at 6am

my blog, change its tempo from power materialistic mode to emotional sentimental topics

Hermohena Santos...... lola happy birthday

Every Birthday ni Lola Moheng (mommy,s mom) dinadala si mommy sa Hospital, maybe it happen four times in the past.

Lola Moheng died when she was 74 years old, my mother ins now 73 years old, deep in my mind children who takes cares of their parents should overtake the age of their parents when they die.
She died 1984 july21, in April that year she had a micro stroke probably due to her fondness of Barrio Fiesta Crispy Pata, days after, para nalang sya tulala no emotions, still my sisters,, my mom, arlene and I left her for 2 months for USA tour.....when we return prang nag worsen pa ang kanya kalagayan, we thought na gagaling sya in a couple of weeks, ill now i felt guilty na iniwan namin sya sa mga maids in that condition
