GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Three days to Christmas Day, Guia, my 20-year old daughter made another trip to the hospital for her regular laboratory tests and a scheduled follow up check-up with her doctors. she quipped. The tests are necessary to determine if she has infections that must be addressed immediately. I felt guilt for not giving attention to her during those days she asked me to bring her to the doctor when she was not feeling well weeks before she was first admitted to the hospital.
Doctors initially diagnosed Guia to be suffering from septic shock or severe blood infections. There was silence but I could sense the intensity of the medical staff battling to keep her heart rate normal, revive her dropping blood oxygen and faltering pulse rate. She went through more tests that revealed she was positive with an auto-immune disease and doctors diagnosed her with systemic lupus erythematosus , the most common type of lupus.
“It can be managed. There are many who have grown old despite having the disease,” assured Dr. Emilia Juele, Guia’s attending physician. Without her voice, she cannot continue as vocalist of “Arya,” the band of the Mindanao State University-General Santos. Also, no new postings on her YouTube account where she uploads the songs she personally wrote and composed.
