Rain Turns Three

Of all the things that I have to thank for these days, foremost is to find Rain unshackled from the bondage of a nasal cannula, finally.

Since birth, the ambient air could not sufficiently keep his blood oxygenated, so we had to keep a tank in his room and keep him tied to it 24/7 at a certain pressure level. He consumed an average of two tanks on a weekly basis that I have already made inquiries about getting an oxygen concentrator. The cost jolted the bejesus out of me and had me resort to prayer instead.


Most of the time, he is confined inside their room. By the middle of his second month, the good doctor deemed him ready to get off the oxygen at an  interval of six hours. Last week, he was completely off it.

To mark this marvelous blessing, we celebrated by adding an expensive dessert and elaborate picture taking to complement a rather sparse dinner.

All is well.
