31 Dec 09

31 Dec 09
The doctor came and told us that Charlene almost choked to death again last night (30 Dec). This time, they had to give her oxygen bag and conducted CPR on her. Dez and I are really shocked. We thought her reflux condition was getting better. The doctors encouraged us to proceed with the “button” operation as it can greatly reduce the chance of choking due to reflux. But the op would require her to be put under general anesthesia and be hooked on the respirator and the doctors were not sure that she can breathe by herself after the op.

The other option was not to do anything and hope that the reflux would go away and the choking incident would not happen again.

Dez and I are worried. We are unsure of which options to take.

I casually told Dez that if Charlene choked again for the 3rd time, she might not survive. During our honeymoon, Dez lost things twice and managed to retrieve them but the third time it happened, it was gone.
