In Another Life

"She's a miracle baby. Eight months old premature are at risk, ten percent lang ang chance na mabuhay ang mga eight months old infant na maagang Lumalabas. Usually premature baby suffer on respiratory complication, So there's a possibility na magkaron ng heart problem while the kid is growing up. We still need to monitor her for 7 years."

I bite my lower lip when I heard what the doctor said.

"Ibig pong sabihin nasa panganib ang buhay ni B-baby?" Alanganin kong tanong dito.

"We can't say that for now.like what I've said earlier, other complication may occurred while she's growing up. Regarding on her condition, she needs hand on caring, make sure she's taking the vitamins she needs. Laging maayos at sanitize ang paligid nya. Because of her condition she can be asthmatic." The doctor said and smile.

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag.

"Anong name nya?" My mother asked while carrying my baby.

I gave her a small smile. "Miracle.. Dezel Miracle Kazan."
