**********************************

I woke up one day, super sakit ng paa ko. I can rarely move it. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. I just thought na siguro dahil sa super pagod sa CAT ko kahapon.

"Mommy!" Tawag ko sa mommy ko. I want to go to the cr pero I can't. Super sakit and It's really hard to move "Mommy!" I called again assuming na hindi nya narinig kasi nasa 3rd floor ako while nasa 1st floor lang sila usually. "Mommy! Mommy!" I called her several times hanggang sa marinig nya ko.

"Ano ba yun, Kathlia?" Tanong sakin ni mommy. Oh. By the way ako nga pala si Kathlia Yen Garcia.

"Super sakit ng paa ko mommy. Nahihirapan akong igalaw sya. Can you accompany me in the washroom?" Sabi ko kay mommy then after nun tinulungan na nya kong pumunta sa cr. She's asking me bakit nahihirapan akong makalakad. I just told her na maybe dahil lang to sa sobrang pwersa dahil sa CAT ko kahapon. By the way. I am a graduating student in high school na so required talaga mag CAT.

After mag cr she ask me kung kaya kong bumaba and I told her na I can't. So ayun I stayed there in my room for the entire day. Dinadalan na lang ako ng food and ng nga kailangan ko.

Until the next day, I am expecting na everything will be back to normal. Na mgging ok na yung paa ko. But I thought wrong. Actually, it got worst. Mas lalong nhhrapan na kong igalaw yung paa ko until Mommy decided na sa baba muna ko para nandun na lahat ng kailangan ko. So I oblige. I stayed sa salas namin sa baba. Our househelp taking care of me and I am very thankful. Ganun din sa mama ko (which is my grandmother) and mommy ko (which is my real biological mom). I just prayed and prayed. So as my mama, pinagpepray niya ko lagi.

Until, few days have passed, feeling ko bed ridden na ko. Kasi nakahiga na lang talaga ko. Tatayo lang ako pag mag c cr even though super nahihirapan ako. Until my mom decided na ipa check up ako.

"The best way to do is to bring her na po sa isang kidney specialist, sa nakikita ko po kasi may possible complications sa kidney nya. Mataas po kasi ang creatinine nya which is a sign na may kidney problem sya" my first doctor told me. So we scheduled a check up sa isang kidney specialist.

"Sobrang taas ng creatinine nya for her age. And ang daming naging complications which is mataas ang potassium nya which is bad sa may mga kidney problems and at the same time mababa ang dugo nya and she might need to go a blood transfusion." My doctor explained. "It is possible na ang sakit nya is lupus nephritis. Which is yung immune system is sobrang active that comes to the point na sinisira nya yung mga organs sa katawan and targetting her kidneys. I am afraid to say as of now wala pa talagang cure sa sakit na to, ang magagawa lang is to lessen the fast movement of the immune system para mas mapagal ang tuluyang pagkasira ng kidneys. But in your case it will be hard kasi nakita ka naming ang dami ng complications" my doctor added.

I am with my mom and mama. They both cried. I excused myself and went to the cr. I cried. Not because I am scared nor sad nor dissapointed. I cried because I really am thankful to God because He gave me people who are always there for me. My family, my friends, my churchmates. And most of all because I know that HE will always be there for me. I know God has a reason kung bakit ako nagkasakit ng ganito. I don't know why. Only God knows at nilalagay ko na sa kamay Niya ang aking buhay. With that, I prayed.

I went out of the cr like nothing happened. Still smiling. "So Kathlia, are you okay?" My mama asked me. "Yes. I am fine." I answered her with a genuine smile.

"So as I was talking, she will need to undergo further test to see kung ano nga ba tong sakit nya. She will also need to undergo a biopsy so that we can test a part of her kidneys para malaman namin kung ano na yung situation ng kidneys nya. She need to be confined as soon as possible. Kung possible po, pwede na syang i confine ngayon"

Yun nga ang nanyare, I was confined in a 3 bed hospital room. At my first day stay in the hospital, I underwent biopsy. I was really nervous cause it was my first time na ma inject. (As far as I remember). Mommy was supposed to accompany me sa loob while I am undergoing biopsy but she decided not to because she said she was scared. So I underwent the test by myself (physically) but I know God is always with me. I was kept awake as for my decision to stay awake instead of making me fall asleep. I prayed and prayed to God to give me the courage I need. In God's grace, wala man lang akong naramdamang sakit. Sabi nga sa Isaiah 53:4-5 "by God's stripes, we are healed" kaya, I'm really greatfull that God made Himself know to me.
