A Busy Afternoon with my Mother's Journey of Healing at Mercy Community Hospital🎀💗

18 hours ago

Hello to my lovely hive friends🌷🎀. I hope everyone is doing well and having a beautiful day. Today's entry is a little more personal and close to my heart😌💗. I couldn't post so much these past days since last week because I was busy within our home😣. I'm sharing a glimpse of an afternoon with my mother and sister during one of Mom's monthly hospital visits😖💞.

This afternoon was spent accompanying my mother and sister to Mercy Community Hospital in Iligan City for my mother's monthly injection appointment🤍.

My mother as a breast cancer survivor, she continues to attend her scheduled appointments and receive monthly injections to help relieve the pain she experiences around the back of her hips. Her journey hasn't always been easy, but seeing her continue through each day reminds me of how strong she is🎀💕.

Honestly, this reminds me of the pandemic where my mother had to go through her chemotherapies in Cagayan de Oro City.

One thing that made this particular visit difficult was getting to the third floor, where her appointment was scheduled. My mother cannot walk for long distances without experiencing pain, so we had to use a wheelchair to help her move around more comfortably😔.

Unfortunately, the building doesn't have an elevator, which made reaching the third floor quite challenging. We had to ask one of the hospital staff members for assistance, and thankfully, they helped us push the wheelchair through the wheelchair platforms so we could bring my mother upstairs. It took some effort, but we were grateful for the helping hand🤍.

My mother has already overcome so much, and seeing her continue to face these challenges reminds me of just how courageous she is🌷💗.

We may not always have easy days, but my sister and I will do our best to accompany and support her whenever we can. And it was usually my father here with my mother but he has some important work so it's me this time.

This afternoon wasn't exactly a fun family outing, but it was another reminder that love can be expressed through the simplest acts of care: pushing a wheelchair, walking beside someone, waiting together, and making sure they never feel alone. 🎀

To my dearest mother, may you continue to find strength, comfort, and better days ahead. You've been through so much, and we will always be here beside you.
