Messages to his mobile phone are most welcome. I read your messages to him, and it seems to calm him down.
Right now, dad is intubated and cannot speak. However, he is very responsive and can communicate very well. His left side is quite weak, but he can fully move his right side.
So far, these are the things my dad can do:
1. He can open both eyes, and follow you around with his eyes.
2. He is also able to recognize you, who you are, etc.
3. His sense of humor is intact.
4. He is able to grip a pen and scribble his thoughts, feelings, etc.
5. He constantly asks for things that he cannot have. Like water, or coca-cola.
6. He keeps indicating that he wants his breathing tube out.
The messages of prayers and love keep coming in. We, his family, very much appreciate this. Thank you all.
I will try to update this blog as soon as I can. However, for real-time updates, please view the twitter website: www.twitter.com/manologetswell.
Leave your comments on this site too, and I'll make sure to read them to Papa. Continue to pray for his speedy recovery. :-)

ReplyDeleteHello Kara and Adrian,
ReplyDeleteI know that your dad is a fighter. Always will be. But I hope you can read my message to him.
"If I had the power to make one wish for you, I would find it hard to decide what gift to give. Words of love and comfort from your loving family and many friends, you already have... The one gift I would choose is the gift of courage. Know that all of us are praying for your swift recovery.
love,
Maribec Castaneda- Salgado
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis blog is great. I was following the twitter site and, as usual, found it wanting in details (because it's Twitter). This answers a lot of the questions in my mind about Nolo's condition. Congratulations!
Hang in there Nolo. All of us 69ers have you in our thoughts and collectively praying for you and your children. Keep rocking as you always do. We'll see you yet in the next get-together which will be sooner than you think. So get well soon, jump out of the bed, and out of Makati Med.
He will be fine:-) Common claim it! let's declare it in the mighty name of Jesus!
ReplyDeleteGet up and get out of that bed ! be the winner that you always have been. We are all rooting and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteHi there... This is Tony & Anne Chua. We were shocked and saddened to hear the news but now we are glad that you seem to be well on your way to recovery. Our 2 daughters were asking who you are and we could only say that you were a great boss and an even greater friend. I know we are honorary members of the "tigas ulo" group so be sure to follow doctors' advice once you get out.
ReplyDeleteHang in there and get well soon. Our prayers are with you.
