Every Good Friday, we are at our grand mother’s house as she always cook our favorite food “ginataan” and we also prepare a little something (sandwich and iced tea) for our Lenten tradition, Caridad.
It was only 1:30 PM and we plan to give away the sandwich to the kids around 3:00 PM but since it is very humid inside, my mom, my aunt, Bela and I are sitting outside my grandmother’s house. We were playing with Bela as she is asking us to teach her how to write. My 83 years old grandmother went out to watch Bela too. She took a mono block chair and when she sat on it, she did not notice that one of the legs of the chair went inside the hole of the canal cover and so her chair tip over and she fell down with it. My aunt, my mom and I was so shocked at what happened to my grandmother that we all froze in shock.
After a few seconds, we all run towards her. My mom was in panic already and she was shouting that almost all our neighbors run towards us to help us. My mom helped my grand mother up and she checked on my grandmother’s head because we saw that it hit the floor. My mom started shouting again when she felt the blood in her hands. My uncle heard us and went running outside too. He tried to cover the wound on my grandmother’s head and the wound was already oozing with blood.
My dad started the engine of the car right away and we took her to Chinese General for immediate attention. I was so shocked too but my mom and my aunt are hyperventilating already and my aunt even dropped that digital frame that she was cleaning, so I accompanied my aunt and my dad to Chinese General Hospital.
My grandmother is safe at home now. She was discharge from the Emergency room after they close her wound with three sets of stitches. But we still have to observe her condition within 48 hours for any signs of head injury like drowsiness, ear and nose bleeding, vomiting, high fever and hallucination.
I hope my grandmother will really be ok. I am so thankful that our dear Lord heard our prayers as there is no fracture on my grandmother’s head. I cried after I heard the good news and I am really thankful that He did take care of my beloved “Nanay.” I don’t know if I can ever forgive myself (because I did not act fast enough) if something bad ever happened to my dear grandmother.
