It was a rainy afternoon in Quezon City. Ernesto was driving her to a school competition when a pickup truck ran a red light. The impact sent them straight into a utility pole. Ernesto walked away with scrapes and a cut above his eyebrow. Bella didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">When I reached the hospital, my daughter was hooked up to machines, her face swollen, her lips dry, and her body so small under the sheets that she looked nine years old again. The doctor spoke in words I didn\u2019t understand at first. Severe renal damage. Complications. Dialysis. Transplant.
