Medy Salazar

 
 
PAX!
 
I visited Ms. Medy the week after typhoon Ondoy. Her house and her room was also flooded about a foot high.  Her hospital bed was high enough so the caregivers did not have to move her.  She had also electricity during that time for the flood waters was just below the electric sockets. The aircon was not on at the time of my visit for they were still drying and airing the room.
 
Ms. Medy is doing well.  She can now take a little cake, ice cream and other sweets through her mouth aside from feeding through the peg.  The latter feeding is every four hours. She has put on weight and her mind is active again..
 
I think regular short visits from some of us would be great for her.  She can communicate which the caregiver can interpet. When I said good-bye, she tried to ask me when I was coming back. She longs for company.
 
It has been a year since she suffered that bad fate. Through your support, we have been able to attend to the monthly salaries of the caregivers and the fee for the regular therapy.  We have also reimbursed Tett Salazar, her niece, for the hospitalization bill in the first quarter of the year.
 
Tett received the dollar donation which Mila Magno brought last April, 2009. On behalf of Tett, I would like to thank you again for all your concern and support.
 
I remain,
