Maid A, please pray for her

Last Friday, Maid A asked to be brought to the doctor -- she was having intense dysmennorhea. Doctor in the past had told her that her frequent periods were an indication of menopause. He suggested doing a D&C but Maid A demurred. She is scared of doctors and is hypertensive, she said. But the pain last Friday must have been so bad she asked to see a doctor.

So she and Maid B went to one in UP and were told to go to Capitol Medical. They texted me they were on their way there. They went and when the doctor suggested she undergo some tests, etc. she said she preferred to go to Quirino Hospital in Project 4 which is nearer the house. She did that at around 2:30.

Around 4:30 I called the Medical Director's Office, she being the mother of my husband's former students. She was out but I think the secretary did manage to call ER to attend to Maid A. But by 7:30, the results of her tests weren't out so they didn't prescribe any medication. She was in pain and was feeling weak.

Around 10, I decided to call the doctor in charge of her. Dr. Guevarra. Very pleasant. I asked what was going on and she explained that the results would take 8 hours to come out. I was so tired I slept after that.

By morning, I checked my cellphone and saw the message of the other maid who had accompanied Maid A. They were coming home that night. This meant she didn't need a transfusion and I was relieved. But tomorrow she has to go back for more tests to determine whether she is fit enough to undergo a D&C fully sedated or what.

Please pray things turn out all right for her.

Thank you.
