Celebrity mom Rica Peralejo was at a loss for words when her second child Manu had a cut on his finger. Read the full story in this article.
Celebrity mom/ vlogger Rica Peralejo gave a detailed account on Instagram today, June 30 of the medical emergency involving her second child Manu.
In a lengthy post, Rica recalled what happened when they had to take her baby with Pastor Joseph Bonifacio to a hospital after her son sliced his fingers.
She shared, “It would have been a normal day, just like any other day, if only my little boy didn't fall from where he was standing.
“To break it, the fall, he grabbed onto the oven and the stainless steel slit through the skin and flesh of his tiny little fingers (third and fourth).”
Rica admitted that it was a shocking moment for her to see Manu in such a horrible situation.
“He was bleeding profusely and it was very disorienting to see that much blood gushing out from my son's hand. It dripped on the floor, stained the sink, soaked the towel.
“When he was gauzed up by the nurse at the reception of the ER, it only took a while before the white mesh blotted crimson.”
There was even a moment that she got confused and couldn't even remember the name of her baby at all.
“When the lady was asking for his name, I could not remember it all. I was more unsure about his birthday. It was so hard to gather my thoughts and keep them all in one place.
“All I could think of was how much I needed them to see my son and treat him and save him.”
She added, “After nine hours, we went home. My baby is glued up and his parents were both grateful and shocked. It took me two days to get back to some sense of normal in my life. All I could do since Friday was hold my baby and cry from time to time.”
Despite what happened, Mommy Rica decided to look on the bright side of the emergency. Her life as a mom of two boys is pretty extraordinary, after all.
She explained, “But just in case you were wondering, some days are normal and some days are extraordinary. Thus is the life of a mom to two boys.
“Let's see if I can also show you something exciting about being a wife of a pastor. HAHAHAHA. just kidding. I think my life has never a dull moment because my husband in himself is an adventure to be with.”
Based on Rica's recent post, they are still staying in California, after being stuck in the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused massive disruptions to air travel around the globe.
They celebrated Manu's first birthday in the U.S. on June 9.
