"An Angel in the book of life wrote down baby Bien's birth.

And whispered as she closed the book

"too beautiful for earth."

Bien's CT Scan

In preparation for Bien's upcoming liver transplantation in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, all his laboratory results were shipped for assessment. So far, his results are okay except that Dr. Chen found out that he now has Pulmonary Consolidation.

Pulmonary Consolidation is

 a region of (normally compressible) lung tissue that has filled with liquid, a condition marked by induration (swelling or hardening of normally soft tissue) of a normally aerated lung. It is considered a radiologic sign. Consolidation occurs through accumulation of inflammatory cellular exudate in the alveoli and adjoining ducts. Simply, it is defined as alveolar space that contains liquid instead of gas. The fluid can be pulmonary edema, inflammatory exudate, pus, inhaled water, or blood (from bronchial tree or hemorrhage from a pulmonary artery). It is clinically important in pneumonia: the signs of lobar pneumonia are characteristic and clinically referred to as consolidation.

Bien will be treated of his Pulmonary Consolidation as soon as he arrives in Taiwan. He should be clear of any other illnesses before the doctors perform the transplant.

As of the moment, they are now preparing documents for their trip to Taiwan most probably towards the end of August. If things work out as planned, transplant will be around the first half of September.

Let us keep praying for baby Bien.

Little Acts of Kindness: Sharon Kasama Mo, Kapatid

For those who were unable to watch last July 30 episode of Sharon Kasama Mo, Kapatid, it featured the story of Mang Roger and Bien Louis.

Mang Roger is an iconic figure in San Beda. He is a magbabalot. But he is not an ordinary magbabalot. He is famous in San Beda not only because of his balot and chicharon. He is a man who spreads happiness and inspires students as well as faculty members in San Beda.

Another story is about baby Bien's call for help for his liver transplantation fundraising campaign. Witness how Sharon Kasama Mo, Kapatid has given Bien a FIGHTING CHANCE.
