Healing for Rica Lapingcao Tabucal

Here's the most recent photo of Rica. She can now sit down in a wheel chair with less assistance but still can't walk. She continues her regular visits to the doctor, blood tests, taking her medications, and physical therapy. Rica wants to thank all of you who contributed to her medical expenses. Rica hopes that you will continue to help her pay for her medications and other medical expenses.

Message from Rica -- I still cannot walk. However I can sit up on my own now. I can also currently use the bed pan and discontinued wearing the diapers. It is still so painful for me to move my left leg that's why I cannot walk. For my laboratory work, the staff from the laboratory place would come to do home service to withdraw my blood for the blood tests. Because of the continued pain on my left, it is hard for me to commute to go to the laboratory place and to go to the doctor's clinic. Once the blood test results are ready, my Mommy Elma (Auntie Elma) would take the result to my doctor's clinic. So far, the doctor's said that I have to continue the medications that I'm taking which costs about $100.00 per week and to the physical activities that I'm capable of doing as long as I can tolerate the pain. My goal is to be able to walk again so I can attend the 87th celebration of my Lola (Grandma) Bening. But I need to continue taking my costly medications in order to get better.

Please donate whatever you can afford. I need the financial help for my medications. Thank you and may God will give you and your family the best of health because as the saying goes, "Health is wealth."
