Ogie Diaz Recalls The Day When His Pre-Mature Daughter Was Born And Almost Didn’t Survive.

Exactly 2 years when she was brought forth into the world, Ogie remembered how his wife tried her very best to prevent her daughter to come out to reach at least 6th month of her pregnancy.
To make her stay longer, the doctors had to replenish the amniotic fluid inside her mom’s womb because her water broke. According to Ogie’s post, his fifth child, Meerah Khel, was born 625 grams. What the doctors did just to save her beloved doctors is still vivid in his memory.

“Kahit hirap na hirap na ang mama niya sa kanya, nilabanan pa rin ng mama niya ang hapdi, kirot, sakit ng katawan para i-extend lang ang stay niya sa sinapupunan kasi nga, pumutok na ang panubigan eh,” he wrote.

“Nire-replenish ‘yung liquid na nawawala, hanggang sa di na talaga kaya ng mama niya, sa hudyat na rin ng aming bayaning OB-Gyne na si Dra. Cecil Perez katuwang ang pediatrician na si Dra. Tabalon, nakalimutan ko lang yung anaesthesiologist at ang Neonatal doctoe na si Dra. Teresita Uy na naka-standby, lumabas na ang 5th baby ko na 625 grams lang (akala ko 680 grams), hindi pa talaga umabot ng isang kilo ang bigat.”

“Juice ko, malinaw pa sa alaala ko, parang basketball ang nangyari. Paglabas ng bata, ipinasa ni Doc Perez sa pediatrician at sa Neonatal doctor ang bata. Ginawa ang lahat bago “mai-shoot” sa incubator.”

Ogie also shared that before she was delivered, he already asked her to Mama Mary in Simala Church, Sibong, Cebu. He earnestly prayed for his daughter.

“Alam n’yo, hindi pa inilalabas ang batang ito, hiningi ko na siya kay Mama Mary sa Simala Church sa Sibonga, Cebu.”

“Abot-abot ang dasal ko. Sabi ko, “Lord, Kayo po ang mas nakakaalam kung para po sa amin ang anak ko o kukunin N’yo po siya. Anuman po ang desisyon n’yo, maluwag ko pong tatanggapin. Pero hangga’t kaya namin ng mama niya, hindi namin siya isusuko. Mawala man siya, at least, alam ng anak ko na ginawa namin ang lahat para maisalba siya.” Kaya naman balik kami nang balik doon.”

Now that she turned 2, Ogie shared how jolly and strong child Meerah is. He also said that she is the constant strength of the family.

“Masayahing bata. ‘Yung ngiting nakakatanggal ng pagod at stress. ‘Yan ang aking anak — si Meerah Khel.”
“Happy 2nd birthday, Meerah! Ikaw ang aming “little big boss.” Ikaw ang patuloy na nagbibigay ng lakas sa amin ng mama mo at mga kapatid mo.”

Ogie is currently managing Kapamilya star Liza Soberano and former manager of Vice Ganda for four years.
