I and my sister were in constant communication with our brother at the emergency room in the hospital.
Right after I made the discussion about my sister, we communicated with our brother through chat on facebook messenger. We thought he will be there for observation only and will be out in a couple of hours.
He actually stayed there until this evening. His mobile phone got drained so we cannot interact with him. I texted my son that he and my sister will go to the hospital.
That's why I was out here after lunch. Now, my brother is in his house; I went there to see him and his medicines and at the same time I gave him some health instructions.
His diagnosis? Bronchial Asthma.

yes, but he sleeps alone in his house which is just at the back of the house where we are staying. he religiously takes his medicines.

thank you. he has wheezing respiration this morning, and i told him to have the nebulization.
this noon time, my sister texted me that our brother left to have his lunch outside and then go to office. he seemed better.

my brother sent a video about the insertion of an intravenous cannula, where hydrocortisone 100mg was injected; he has Ipratropium +salbutamol nebulization every 6 hours, predisone tablet 2x a day for 1 week, and Tiotropium a puff for respiratory conditions.

i hope your father is already well, hija. i think it is the erring weather that we have now, that makes the Filipino people have lowered immune system.

@ridingbet his fbs, uric acid and cholesterol are a little higher than normal, Ate.. But maybe it is because of the past Christmas season. For his blood sugar, it is low before the holidays..

Respiratory ailments are common these days because of the weather and perhaps some allergens like pet fur and pollen.

I am sorry that your brother has bronchial asthma. It is a good thing you were there for him.

he is relieved after the nebulization but we still worry because he went to office and he drove his car.
