Hello everyone,

Editha Galao Encinares, a patient who was diagnosed with COVID-19 died on October 14, 2021 - at 1:50 AM.

After a session of hemoperfusion, her condition became better.

It started on September 12, 2021, when breathing became such an effort. She was hesitant to immediately see the doctor, with the reason that they lack the financial capability, worried that they can't keep up with the hospital bill.

Days past but her condition worsen, they end up seeking medical advice on the 16th. Results showed that her oxygen level dropped to 84%, the doctor said that she might have pneumonia and they were advised to undergo further diagnosis for it may be a symptom of COVID-19.

Later that day, they head to a hospital (Metro Health Specialists Hospital Inc.) but the rooms were fully occupied, left with no choice but to wait. Hours passed, and they were able to be accommodated at 5 in the morning. (September 17). Her breathing was still hard therefore she was given oxygen.

They transferred rooms twice and on the third day, their hospital bill spiked to 71,479.84 Pesos. They took a lot of laboratory tests (X-rays, blood tests, swab tests). Results showed that she was COVID-19 positive, alongside Biboy (her 17-year old son, Moises Galao Encinares) who accompanied her the whole time. They were both diagnosed with COVID-19.

This was one of the SMS reminders from the hospital regarding their bill.

On September 23 - the doctors recommended that she undergo hemoperfusion, but she refused, knowing that it's way too expensive.

She was not getting any better - with her oxygen levels consistently low, she had to use high flow nasal oxygen - this is because she was diagnosed with pneumonia.

A few days past she was not able to intake food through her mouth therefore she has to take it through a nasogastric tube. Her creatinine levels spiked causing her difficulty excreting urine. There have been complications with her diabetes, causing her sugar level to spike at a rate unreadable by the device.

Due to the circumstances, it was again advised to them that she undergo hemoperfusion. The family decided to take the offer despite its expense. After a session of hemoperfusion, her condition became better. With her oxygen level reaching 95-99%

Her condition was getting worse

October 12, 2021 - she had diarrhea (LBM). There has been bleeding in her nose from the site of the NG tube. There has been blood present in her stool as well.

The next day (October 13), the IV (intravenous line) was transferred to her other hand. They noticed a sudden shift in her sleep, that she was restless and mostly asleep. Her oxygen level dropped again and she was not waking up. The doctors asked the family for consent in cases of intubation. She underwent a series of laboratory tests (blood test, ECG) again, and the results showed that her sugar level spiked up to 406, therefore they had to stop her IV intake.

She was still not conscious and the hospital staff suggested that she undergo CT scan (at around 10 PM). Her sugar level went back to normal.

October 14, Past Midnight - she was still unconscious, her oxygen level dropped again. The family decided and consented for her to be intubated. Gradually her heart rate weakened, nurses tried to revive her, then her heart stopped. She was declared dead at 1:05 AM.
