A month has handed since, and Daxen has recovered by leaps and bounds. Jessica Soho and the remainder of the KMJS workforce flew to Iloilo City to accompany Daxen to his follow-up checkup.
“Mabuti na po,” Daxen stated when requested how he was feeling. “Makakatulog na ako. Noon kasi po nung may sakit ako, hindi na po ako makatulong sa lolo at lola ko. Noon kasi naawa din po ako sa kanila.”
Turning emotional, he added, “Hindi sila makatulog kapag humihingi ako ng tubig.”
(“I feel so much better. I sleep better now, and I can even help my grandparents. I used to feel so helpless, especially when they can’t sleep properly because I would ask for water.”)
While earlier than, Daxen was bedridden, nowadays, he is been serving to his grandparents with their livestock.
His mom Daylyn stated that when his story was featured on KMJS, she had hoped that Daxen’s life could also be saved.
“Doon ko rin naisip, ang dami-dami palang taong handang tumulong sa’yo kahit hindi mo kakilala,” she stated.
“Sa mga nag-donate po, sobrang thank you. Ipinambayad sa hospital, ipinambili ng gamot niya at saka yung mga follow-up check-ups niya. Sobrang thank you po sa inyo! Ito na po si Daxen, binigyan ninyo ng pangalawang buhay,” she added, tearing up.
(“When help came after our story aired, that’s when I realized that there are a lot of people who are willing to help. I want to thank everyone who sent their donations. We used them to pay for Daxen’s hospital bills, medicines, and follow-up check-ups. I’m so grateful because you’ve given Daxen a second chance at life!”)
Before the donations got here flooding in, Daylyn was working in Singapore, barely taking a day-off in order that she might earn cash for her son. In reality, she is going to finally have to depart once more to work, this time in Dubai.

She additionally thanked their useful neighbors, and people who made efforts to rescue Daxen.
But the great deeds did not finish there. After Daxen’s restoration, his city created a rescue volunteer group known as DAO Lifesaving Advocates.
“I started to conceptualize DLA sa time na ni-rescue namin si Daxen,” stated head Charlie Tacda. “Naawa talaga ako sa bata. Kasi nakita ko kung gaano kahirap yung rescue rito sa amin. ‘Yung target namin ’yung mga upland barangays na mas mahirap abutin ng responder.”
(“I started to conceptualize DLA around the time we rescued Daxen. At the time, I felt sorry for the kid. I witnessed how difficult it is to mount a rescue operation in the area, especially for those who live in the upland barangays.”)
Not all is totally nicely with Daxen, nonetheless. He continues to drink upkeep medicines for his seizures and apply cream for his wounds — all that complete to P8,000 month-to-month. And since he’s set to enroll after leaving faculty as a result of his situation, the bills preserve piling on.

However, the medical workforce stated that Daxen has been recovering nicely.
“He responded dramatically within five days,” Gallinero stated. “‘Yung hydration ng balat, making sure na hindi magkaroon ng secondary infection, that’s what we did. We also applied a lot of compresses, normal saline solution para gumanda at gumaling yung balat, ma-absorb yung mga pinapahid naming mga topical medication.”
(“He responded dramatically within five days. We got his skin hydrated, and made sure there were no other infections. We applied a lot of compresses so his skin would completely heal and absorb the topical medication.”)
She added that Daxen’s case is inspiring for them.
“[Because] ‘yung experience na nangyari sa kanya also reflects on our life, sa struggles namin bilang mga medical doctors,” she stated. “We know na tough ‘yung case niya. ‘Yung trust niya kay Lord saka ‘yung confidence niya sa sarili niya, talagang overwhelming.”
(“His experience reflects on our life, our struggles as medical doctors. We know how difficult his case is. But he had complete faith in the Lord, and had confidence in himself to make it through. It was really overwhelming.”)
To help with the expenses, KMJS gifted Daxen with school supplies, including a bag. They also donated money for his maintenance medicines.
“Thank you so much po,” Daylyn said. “Pinagpe-pray ko lang po na tuloy-tuloy yung paggaling ni Dax. ‘Yung hindi na sana babalik ‘yung sakit niya na habang wala ako.”
(“I could only pray that Daxen will completely recover– that he won’t suffer the way he did before.”)
“Para sa mga ina, habang kasama ‘yung mga anak, alagaan tapos mamahalin kasi hindi mo alam mapapalayo ka sa kanila,” she added. “Para sa mga OFW na tulad ko, magpapakatatag kasi ayun ‘yung reyalidad na mapalayo ka sa mga anak mo, pagdating sa ibang bansa mag-aalaga ka ng ibang anak, sobrang hirap po.”
(“To mothers who are able to be with their children, you have to make sure to take good care of them, because you never know when you’ll be forced to separate from them. For OFWs like me, we have to remain strong for our loved ones.”)
Meanwhile, Daxen is nothing but grateful for his second shot at life.
“Milagro na nabuhay po ako.”
(“For someone like me, it’s a miracle to be alive.”)
