Help Ditas with her surgery

Dear All,

Thank you for your continued prayers.

It is with heavy heart and deep sadness, that I share the passing of Ditas. She has joined the Lord last night, around 11pm, 18th day of April 2020, Philippine time.

It has been a long and arduous battle for Ditas. We started this GoGetFunding July 2019 to raise funds for her hysterectomy. A procedure that ensures she does not bleed excessively. Thank you for all your generosity. She raised the PhP250k targeted funds. She had the operation. Her last note to me was on the 23rd of August 2019, "so far discharge for tomorrow". We were talking about celebrating with an Amazing Aloha as soon as I land in Manila and see here. A few hours later, the next note was from her sister-in-law, Aylene, Ditas had slipped, hit her head and was unconscious. It was a downward spiral from there.

Ditas is now at peace with the Lord. She is now far from suffering. She is no longer anxious of her next bleeding, and the damage to her kidney.

I have one last appeal in her behalf. Her family needs to raise P50k for her cremation and urn. The back-wages of her caregiver has been taken cared of.

Dear family & friends,

Ditas's family sends their gratitude for your continued prayers and sends their update below:

She can now breathe without a ventilator and the hospital said that we can take her home, which is a also a strong hint to us that we can't stay in the hospital forever. We need to buy a hospital bed, an air conditioner and the other items on the list, as well as continuous supply of food, medicines, diapers, oxygen, other supplies, and caregiver services. We appeal to your kind heart for financial assistance.

Reach down and guide her family and her doctors in doing what is best for her. Grant them respite as they place all our concerns in Your loving hands while saying, “Thy Will Be Done.”

We remain forever grateful for all your generosity. We wish you continued health, happiness, blessings and a wonderful weekend ahead.

Gratefully yours, Mappet

"In this photo, Ditas has her eyes closed. She has bitten her own lip objecting to being ingested some food or medicines orally, which may be a sign of some voluntary action. Her breathing is now 40 to 60 percent on her own, up from zero just a month ago. She has also been seen blinking her eyes especially when praying with Mama. If and when she is able able to breathe 100 percent on her own, well be able to take her home and care for her at home, with assistance from a hired caregiver. We continue to need financial assistance for caregiver, food, medicine, diapers and other supplies to carry out whatever God's will is to relieve Ditas of her present state." - Jet Gonzalez

Dear Family & Friends,

Updates from Ditas’s family.

• Her CScan and EEG results are out.
• The injuries from her fall are superficial only, meaning she had a heart attack and then fell.
• But as her heart would not restart until after so many minutes of revival efforts, she is now comatose, no reaction to pain or stimulus.
• Her heart is also very weak now. Her brain shows very slow waves, so though she is comatose, she is not brain dead. We have been asked to wait seven days, wherein she will be given medication to try to increase brain activity.
• When asked on the chance of recovery assuming brain activity increases, the doctors do not want to give false hopes.

Her family asks that we continue storming the heavens in prayer for a miracle recovery.

Father, you inspired St. Marie Eugénie of Jesus to consecrate her whole life to you for the extension of Your Kingdom. Glorify the power of your love in her and grant us the grace we ask of you through her intercession: Complete healing of Mercedes Anselma G. GonzalezThrough Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Her medical bills is now at P500k. Your continued support through the following channels are much appreciated:

Dear Family & Friends,

This afternoon, at around lunch time, Ditas had a cardiac arrest. It took 30 mins to revive her and get her heart beating again. Her eyes would involuntary jerk every now and then but she has since been given medicines to reduce the jerking. She is now still unconscious in the ICU. Her sister-in-law, Aylene learned that her head hit the floor from an apparent cardiac arrest. It is not clear what caused what.

Her family thanks all of you for storming the heavens in prayer for a miracle for her. She is at 5th floor of the Cardinal Santos Medical Center. The previous post that she was at The Medical City was an error on my part.

Thank you for your continued donations, pledges and posts on your social network. Please send your assistance via https://www.paypal.me/mercedesanselma.

Wishing you all a blessed, safe, peaceful, and a wonderful weekend ahead. May your generosity be rewarded a thousand-fold. May the weekend bring miracles for Ditas.

Gratefully yours,

Dear Family & Friends,

Ditas's surgery was successful last Saturday. Although, dialysis was required pre- and post- surgery to address the water retention, no blood transfusion was required. Goodbye myoma, goodbye bleeding.

Thank you for all your prayers. Ditas is on her way to healing and recovery.

We continue to be grateful for your assistance to raise the last P80k to cover her outstanding medical bills until she is discharged. She has paid The Medical City P125k. With PWD (Person With Disability) card, she was given a P50k discount. She spent P50k for other expenses like medicine, transportation. All the professional fees were waived. She just now needs to settle her hospital bill for discharge on Friday. Appreciate your generous assistance by clicking this link https://www.paypal.me/mercedesanselma.

Dear Family & Friends,

Thank you to all our kind donors who have deposited in MetroBank and BDO, clicked the link to Donate via PayPal or made their pledges. We are 7 days to the August 15 surgery date, and 24 days to the end of this campaign.

Keep the prayers coming. Ditas needs to be emotionally and physically ready to go through this surgery. Being a doctor and a surgeon makes it harder for her to go through this procedure. You can imagine a conversation between patient and doctor, only the conversation is within Ditas. She needs our prayers, for healing and for courage.

Keep the donations and the pledges flowing. We will make the initial deposit of P50k to The Medical City to schedule the surgery on the 15^th of August. She is cleared with her nephrologist. Tomorrow, she sees her cardiologists and undergoes some tests.

Continue to spread the news. We all need to rally and help her with this surgery.

For those in the PH, please stay safe and stay dry. Wishing you all a blessed, calm, peaceful, and a terrific Tuesday. May your generosity be rewarded a thousand fold.

Gratefully yours,

Mappet
