My day started at 7am. Have to express milk and prepared the medication at 730am. All together 9 types, with some tablets that take a long time to dissolve. After 45mins to an hour of preparation, started to feed Charlene with the medication through the tube. The tube got stuck, probably bec of the coagulation of the powder. Took quite some time to make it flow again.
After feeding, I have to prepared to go KKH Children Surgery Centre for check-up on the stoma. It started pouring and though we called a cab from 945am to 1025am, there was no taxi. My father-in-law has to go flag one at the taxi stand.
The routine check & dressing change only lasted for 5 mins and cost 11dollars. The travelling took 40mins and cost over 30 dollars. Argh.
Charlene is apparently upset with the trip, which cause her not to be able to sleep. She kept crying throughout the afternoon. She only slept soundly after Dez and I bathed her in the evening.
Dez smsed Ah Sang his insecurities the day before, which prompted Ah Sang to come and visit us. He brought his family along, including his son Wei Yang (who suffered a hemorrhage at 8 yrs old. The doctors gave him zero chance of survival, and the family was already planning for his funeral and to donate his organs. But through the grace of Lord, Wei Yang survived and is now 18. The recovery was painful, but Ah Sang's family pull through with Lord's blessing.)
Wei Yang walked from the living room to Charlene's cot to see Charlene. The only response Charlene had was her usual sleeping pouting face.
Ah Sang and his wife shared their experiences and some useful Bible verses. We were very encouraged by their sharing as they have been through worse situation for Wei Yang. We learnt that what is most impt is to remember that in all things we do (including praying), it is for the Glory of God and to expand God's kingdom!
Thank God for sending Ah Sang and his family to encourage us on. Lord, Dez and I are still weak spiritually. Please strengthen us, mould us and use us for Your purpose.
Charlene all geared up to go KKH
