26 April 10

This morning when I put Charlene down on the bed after carrying her for a long time, I saw a lot of saliva coming out of her mouth. Then it suddenly struck me that cos she might not be consistently swallowing her saliva, it might have caused her not to be able to cry out loud. I was pretty concerned and decided to call KKH to speak to her neonat doc.

After hearing wat I said (increased frequency of seizures, suddenly stopped crying, lack of sleep and drowsiness), the doc advised me to bring Charlene to Children Emergency to check for potential infections. The A&E doc didn't find anything wrong with Charlene but her neurologist wants Charlene to be warded for further observation and to do EEG testing.

Charlene is obviously very knocked out from those episodes. Her condition is much worse today compared to yesterday. Her episodes are happening within a shorter gap. In the taxi, she had one episode and after a minute had another. At the hospital, she sleeps and goes into those episodes and sleeps again. When she wakes up briefly, she stares into space. To me, she looks delirious. She hasn't been like that.

We are very worried. We want to have faith that Charlene will be healed. We thank God for sending Ah Sang everytime we are faced with obstacles. Dez especially want to thank Ah Sang for being there at his time of vulnerability and weakness. 

Lord Jesus, though we do not understand why this is happening, we know You love us and Charlene. Please deliver Charlene. Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen.
