STROKE

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T..R ...
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today').
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A Special Mom

A mother passes away but it is clear to us  that you  lives forever in our  hearts.
 you are not forgotten, though on earth you are no more, still in memory you are with us, as you always were before.

 For You Mom ( Trinidad Paderes Naron Nov 22, 1952 ~ Oct 03, 2009 )

A Special Mom
© Kelley D. Osman
Mom loved us from our first breath, held our hands through the years, guided us along the paths that our lives took, taught us that there is nothing we can't make it through to hold our faith and follow our hearts. She gave us her all and asked nothing in return.

She gave us all the stepping stones in life to become the people we are today, and through it all she stood proud of us all. Her family (husband, children and grandchildren) meant everything in the world to her.

It will be hard on us to let her go physically, but we carry her with us each and everyday in our hearts and our thoughts. The sun rising will remind us of the warmth of her love. Flowers blooming will remind us of her love for life. Our trials and tribulations will remind us of how strong willed she was. There's a part of her in each and every person that hears or reads this and we can all be so honored that she was a part of our lives.

We will always love you mom. We will carry you with us each day in our hearts. We will mourn our loss but rejoice that you are in a better place sitting with your  loved ones, awaiting our arrival one day.




My lips cannot tell how I miss you, my heart cannot tell what to say; God alone knows how I miss you, our home is much too lonesome today.
 I love you very Much Mama!!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

To All Fathers,

10 Ways to be a Good Dad.
1. Respect Your Children's Mother
One of the
best things a father can do for his children is to respect their mother. If
you're not married, it is still important to respect and support the mother of
your children. When children see their parents respecting each other, they are
more likely to feel that they are also accepted and respected.

2. Spend Time with Your Children
How a father spends his time tells his children what's important to him. This
often means sacrificing other things, but it is essential to spend time with
your children. Kids grow up so quickly. Missed opportunities are forever lost.

3. Earn the Right to Be Heard
All too often the only time a father speaks to his children is when they
have done something wrong. That's why so many children cringe when their mother
says, "Your father wants to talk with you." Begin talking with your
kids when they are very young so that difficult subjects will be easier to
handle as they get older. Take time and listen to their ideas and problems.

4. Discipline with Love
All children need guidance and discipline, not as punishment, but to set
reasonable limits. Remind your children of the consequences of their actions
and provide meaningful rewards for desirable behavior. Fathers who discipline
in a calm and fair manner show love for their children.

5. Be a Role Model
Fathers are role models to their kids whether they realize it or not. A
girl who spends time with a loving father grows up knowing she deserves to be
treated with respect and what to look for in a husband. Fathers can teach sons
what’s important in life by demonstrating honesty, humility and responsibility.
"The world's a stage..." and a father plays one of the most vital
roles.

6. Be a Teacher
A father who teaches his children about right and wrong, and encourages
them to do their best, will see his children make good choices. Use everyday
examples to help their children learn the basic lessons of life.

7. Eat Together as a Family
Sharing a meal together (breakfast, lunch or dinner) can be an important
part of healthy family life. In addition to providing some structure in a busy
day, it gives kids the chance to talk about what they are doing and want to do.
It is also a good time for fathers to listen and give advice.

8. Read to Your Children
It is important that fathers make the effort to read to their children.
Children learn best by doing and reading, as well as seeing and hearing. Begin
reading to your children when they are very young. When they are older
encourage them to read on their own. Instilling your children with a love for
reading is one of the best ways to ensure they will have a lifetime of personal
and career growth.

9. Show Affection
Children need the security that comes from knowing they are wanted,
accepted and loved by their family. Parents, especially fathers, need to feel
both comfortable and willing to hug their children. Showing affection everyday
is the best way to let your children know that you love them.

10. Realize that a Father's Job
Is Never Done
Even after children are grown and ready to leave home, they will still look
to their fathers for wisdom and advice. Whether it's continued schooling, a new
job or a wedding, fathers continue to play an essential part in the lives of
their children as they grow and, perhaps, marry and build their own families.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
Always know that
you are the BEST DAD to your
childrenorBEST FATHER to your Community and
Congregation!

God Bless!

Let us all pray that Pepeng moves out northeast!

It happened to Albay several times when the whole church prayed for no typhoons. It has been free from it in the last 3 years.

Let us pray that Metro Manila be free from another onslaught of nature.

Let us ask, believe and receive (Mark 21:22)

Let us pray to the Father through Jesus...in humility.


The Oratio:

“Almighty Father, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for the wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your providence in sustaining us in our needs, and for Your wisdom that guides the course of the universe.

“We acknowledge our sins against You and the rest of creation.

“We have not been good stewards of Nature.

“We have confused Your command to subdue the earth.

“The environment is made to suffer our wrongdoing, and now we reap the harvest of our abuse and indifference.

“Global warming is upon us. Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruption, and other natural calamities occur in increasing number and intensity.

“We turn to You, our loving Father, and beg forgiveness for our sins.

“We ask that we, our loved ones and our hard earned possessions be spared from the threat of calamities, natural and man-made.

“We beseech You to inspire us all to grow into responsible stewards of Your creation, and generous neighbors to those in need.

"We pray through your Son Jesus Christ.

“Amen.”

Some Tips for the Storm

BEFORE THE STORM
1. Monitor the news or your local weather station for updates on the storm
situation, when it will hit and how strong it will be.
2. Move to higher ground. Move away from creeks, streams, rivers, and
storm drains. Flash floods can sweep over an area without warning, and you
may only have minutes to get to safety. Note that flash floods can occur
up to 12 hours after heavy rains.
Move animals and livestock to higher ground, bring pets inside. Move your
valuable and furniture to higher floors of your home, if possible. Check
your gutters to make sure they are clear of leaves and debris. You may
also opt to park your cars on higher ground. You can opt to leave some
possessions with someone who is not at a flood-prone area.


3. Stock up on supplies. Fill up clean plastic bottles with clean water
and store as much water as you can, especially if you live in a
flood-prone area. Immediately charge all essential electronics like
cellular phones, which you will have to use in case of emergencies.
You should have a family emergency kit stocked with essential supplies
that can last you a minimum of 3 days. Items include: flashlights,
battery-operated radio, weather radio, water, canned food, can opener,
first aid supplies, medicines. Prepare and emergency kit for your pets as
well. If applicable, keep copies of your home or insurance papers inside
sealed plastic bags.
4. Prepare your escape routes. Practice what you will do in case of flood.
Map out safe routes where you can get from your office to your work.
Coordinate with your neighbors, in case of extreme floods. Figure out how
you can get from your location to safer ground.
Decide on a meeting place away from your home where you and your family
will gather if you need to leave your home and family members become
separated. Prepare escape gear like floating devices, snorkels, swimming
gear or inflatable rafts for worst-case scenarios.
5. Keep note of emergency hotlines in your area. Philippine hotlines are:
734-2118, 734-2120; 911-5061, 912-5668 (National Disaster Coordinating
Council), 527-6136 (Coast Guard); Meralco (16210).
DURING THE STORM
1. Keep your radios tuned to a local radio station and follow all
instructions. If you are told to evacuate, move out of the house or
building to safe, high ground.
2. Turn off all electricity using your breaker box (main power switch) and
turn off the main gas valve. Disconnect any equipment that uses water
(like washing machines and dishwashers). Avoid burning candles for light,
and never leave fires unattended.
3. Never walk or swim through swiftly moving water. Avoid flooded areas.
Floodwaters that are above your knees are dangerous. Turn around and go
back to higher ground.
Never try to cross floodwaters standing or in a vehicle. Water that is 2
feet deep can carry away most cars, including Sports Utility Vehicles
(SUVs). If you find floodwaters on the road, turn around and find an
alternate route. Abandon your vehicle immediately if it becomes surrounded
with water or the engine stalls. Seek higher ground immediately.
4. Try to stop water from entering your home by putting plugs in sinks and
baths and weigh them down with a sandbag, pillowcase or a plastic bag
filled with garden soil or a heavy object. Plug water inlet pipes with
towels or cloths.
5. Attempt to keep contact with your neighbors to make sure everyone is
safe and so that you can pool (and later ration) supplies when the
situation calls for it.
6. If your car is swept into the water and submerged, do not panic. Stay
calm, hold your breath, force your wait outside, and swim to the surface.
If you are swept into fast-moving floodwater outside of your car, point
your feet downstream. Always go over obstacles, never try to go under. Do
not enter floodwater.
7. If you are stranded on something above floodwater, such as a tree or
building, stay put and wait for rescue. Call for help if you are in
danger.
AFTER THE STORM
1. Even if the storm is clear, keep listening to weather reports and only
return to evacuated buildings if you are told it is safe to do so. Beware
of sharp objects and pollution in flood water.
Watch out for live electrical wires. Be sure the electrical current is
turned off. Watch out for animals, especially poisonous snakes that may
have entered your home during the storm. Keep safe from loose plaster or
ceilings that may have come loose.
2. Assess the damage. If you have evacuated from your home and wish to
turn back, be sure the structure is not visibly damaged and in danger of
collapsing before entering. Do not use electrical appliances that have
been wet, because there are hazards of electric shock and fire.
3. Avoid water-borne diseases. Assume that any water in flooded or
surrounding areas is not safe unless local authorities expressly declared
it to be so. If there is no safe water supply for washing, use bottled
water or disinfected water (by adding 5 drops of liquid household bleach
and let sit for 30 minutes).
Before entering an area that has been flooded, try to don protective
clothing to avoid contact with floodwater. Decrease the risk of mosquito
or other insect bites by using insect repellants. Throw away all food
(even canned ones) that have come in contact with flood water.
