Mommy is sick

My wife was complaining about the pain in her tummy since Tuesday night. At first, we thought it was just gas spasm because - according to mommy - this was not the first time it happened. Back in the Philippines she said, she experienced the same pain and that was actually worse. So we tried to ignore the illness and we settled only liniment and a tablet of Antacid.

But the pain didn't go away. So this evening, I decided to bring her to the clinic to see her Filipina OB-GYNE Dr Rowena Zaplan at the Al-Haramain Clinic. After over three hours of checkup and long wait for laboratory analysis, Dr Rowena gave a diagnosis. The doctor told us that mommy had a severe infection in the fallopian tube and she has a 4cmx4cm cyst in the left ovary. The doctor suspects that there is something wrong with mommy's intestine and for that, mommy may have to undergo another round of clinical test.

We went home past 10pm. On the way, mommy told me that last year, she experienced a much severe pain in the stomach that forces to stay in the house for over a week. During that entire period, she could barely move and she lost a lot of weight.

Tsk tsk tsk... this is bad!
