Caring for my Father... I hope he gets well soon and learn his lesson to Stop Smoking...

Last Tuesday, my Father was admitted to the hospital because of his complaints of pains in his stomach. He together with my mother flew from the province here in Manila in order to get better consultation with a hospital and undergo CT Scan for his abdomen. But aside from the pain in his stomach, the doctor also said that he has water in his lungs that are needed to be extracted soon. We kind of expected that he would contract a lot of ailments because he has been smoking a lot of cigarettes all his life. He has been a chain smoker ( consuming almost 3 packs per day ) since his teens. Our main concern right now is that the doctor from our province, Masbate, said that he has mass lump in either his liver or kidneys and this could be further detected when he undergoes CT Scan (Liver Cirrhosis). I really hope that my father could recover from all the sickness that he is facing right now. My family has been with him all throughout his confinement. We are praying for his fast and complete recovery. I hope it is not too late for a lifestyle change. Smoking could indeed cause a lot of problems to our health. We may not realize it while we are still young and enjoying the relaxation brought about by smoking, but sooner or later, our body will eventually let us pay the price. He is only 61 years old now, but he is already feeling the ill effects of smoking. I hope this blog will reach people out especially the smokers. Our family also needs your help through your prayers.
