Manila Doctors Hospital

I just picked up our forever baby Andi from her four day stay at the Manila Doctors Hospital along United Nations Avenue in Manila.  Her bout with pneumonia had Vicky & I worried, but in the able hands of Dr. Gatch, she has been able to recover pretty fast and we thank the good Lord for this.  I understand that her oxygen utilization level dipped to 85%, and that this should be kept in the 95% up range.  Pipsy (our nickname for Andi) looked like a robot, with an intravenous needle on the right hand (dextrose and antibiotics) and the oxygen monitor on the left!  And in those few moments that she allowed us to strap her oxygen mask on, she looked like the cutest robot on the planet!  Vicky had been sleeping at the hospital for the past 3 nights, and she came home, looking forward to sleeping in her own bed.  With the phlegm all gone, Pipsy is now smiling again, pinching Tita Becca & her cousins, being magulo in her usual manner.

Manila Doctors Hospital has been our hospital of choice, being so near the house of Vicky's parents and my Manila office.  My sister Mikaela was born there (Gwammy would hear the constant booming sounds coming from the construction site that was to usher in the next-door Manila Hilton Hotel), and both Monique & Andi were born there.  With a well-trained nursing staff, renovated facilities and a deep bench of medical practioners, Vicky and I have been quite happy with the hospital.  I understand that the Metrobank Foundation has expansion plans, and with such a high level of service, I wish them the best.  Thanks, MDH!
