BYBS: Two incidents

I had two scares today…

First, we had to bring Hazel to the hospital at two in the morning today. My sister, Roxanne, was doing a report for her student when Hazel woke up complaining of itchiness. Then all of a sudden, she cried and vomited. Roxanne noticed how pale Hazel was. She was also shaking. And then when my sister took off Hazel’s clothes, she saw big rashes on her stomach. We were unsure if it was really rashes, we panicked because of the paleness. We rushed her to the hospital and it was really allergies. We don’t really know what caused it since Hazel ate a lot last night. But we were thinking it might have something to do with the gelatins. We will bring her to her pediatrician tomorrow for follow-up check up. We went home at almost four in the morning.

Then, at around 11 in the morning, we went to my aunt’s house in Paco to have lunch there. We were around 20. When we left Paco, we met an accident. It was this afternoon. My uncle was driving so fast. We were riding a passenger jeepney and there were almost 20 of us in the back. All of a sudden we felt an impact. We bumped into another passenger jeepney. We didn’t know that my uncle was very angry about something. And he took it out with the jeepney that overtook him.

It was really scary. There was a fight that ensued because of it. But then cool heads prevailed. Thanks to two of my cousins who were with us. We were going to Makati to drop my tito Wilson’s family when it happened. Having too many men in the family can be disadvantageous at times. Especially when these men are hotheads. My dad and his brothers are like that. We are just lucky because even if they are what they are, they still listen to the younger ones.

All in all, today has been one big blessing for me. I get to spend time with my family. The two incidents just made me realize that prayer is really powerful. Plus, God won’t be giving us anything that we really can’t handle.

Have a great week everyone!
