Update:
As of today, my father is now out in the ICU. And his condition is now getting better. But we still don't know when we are going to go home. He is still in a recovery phase. And as expected, within 3 days of my father staying in the ICU our bill reaches P65, 000 or $1300. Really hoping and praying that he will recover as soon as possible and I am also hoping that someone could help us.
Thank you for all who upvoted my first #upfundme post. Especially to my #sdfamily and to sir Terry @surpassingoogle. Thank you for the unending support. God bless you all.
My father in his room. He can accept visitor's anytime unlike in the ICU.
My father got hospitalized last August 10, 2018, but since we don't see any improvement in my father's condition at that hospital. We decided to get him out of there as soon as possible. And we have him check to other Pulmunologist because the result of the CT scan is he has a pulmonary mass, minimal pleural fluid and a minimal fluid in the heart.

The CT scan result
When we are in the clinic of that Pulmonologist. We have to wait till 3 o'clock in the afternoon for the doctor to come, we are in that clinic since 8 o'clock in the morning. I can see that my father is having a hard time waiting because he is experiencing chest pain again. When the doctor comes to his clinic I feel so much relief. When it is our turn, he checked my father and see the result of the CT scan and checked my father's heart. We see that my father's heart is already surrounded by so many fluids. The doctor said that we need to bring my father right away because my father's case is so dangerous when we left it untreated. The doctors need to do the procedures called Pericardiocentesis.
Pericardiocentesis, also called a pericardial tap, is a procedure in which a needle and catheter remove fluid from the pericardium, the sac around your heart. The fluid is tested for signs of infection, inflammation, and the presence of blood and cancer. Occasionally, pericardiocentesis is done in an emergency to treat something called cardiac tamponade, a life-threatening rapid buildup of fluid around the heart that weakens its pumping. The procedure relieves pressure there.

After the said procedure my father needs to be on the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). My father is still recovering until now in the ICU. Being at the ICU for almost two days our bill raised for almost P 55, 000 or $1,100. And today is my father's third day in the ICU. That bill is just for the ICU room, the doctor's fee and medicine are not yet included. My mother is already given me money for my father's medicine. Because I need to buy it outside the hospital for the reason that it is much cheaper than in the hospital. My mother already gets her whole salary for this month. And we don't know where we can get the money for the next days. My mother said "Bahala Na", and hoping that someone who could help us with this.
Our bill for just a day in the ICU
The text messages I received comes from the hospital. Our bill for two days.
And now I am doing this just to help my parents. This is the first time I am writing an #UpFundMe post. I thought I would not write posts like this, but for the love of my parent's I have to do this. This will really help my parents. I am calling all the kindhearted steemians here in this platform if ever there are some people who can help me fund for my father's hospitalization finances. I would gladly appreciate it and I will be thankful for the whole life for the help you would be given to us. I hope there is someone who could help me out with this. Thank you and may the God bless us always.
Target Goal: $1000
Target Date: August 24, 2018
