Dad had a good & restful sleep last nite.
7:20am - Dr Jong(ICU) - Stable & maintaining well. Reduce respirator support from 18 to 15
8:30am - Dr Cheong(lung) - Blood, culture & others parameters indicate some improvement, Haemoglobin low - need 1 bag of blood transfusion. Lung is clearer
9:10am - Dr Ting (blood) - Haemoglobin low, today need to give a bag of blood transfusion. WBC9.39 (N4-11), its a good sign indicate that less infection.
9:20am - Dr Lye (Kidney) - Parameters are improving, no urine yet, pain at right abdominal reduce a bit, will do dialysis & 1 pint blood transfusion will do good to dad. Dad seem to have some improvement.
9:45am - Dr Lam(Cardiac) - Dad stable & maintaining well. Equired whether received the hospital & Drs bills? I told him we received Hospital bill but not from Drs. I mentioned this is a long haul - expect bill 30% discount.
10:00am - Dr Tang(Neuro& physician) - All lines are clear & are not likely the source of infection. Ponder where is the infection from? Suggest to get one infection specialist to examine, Dr Lam will be contacted regarding this. He called Dr Ting to enquire about blood test. The test finding shows bone marrow produce lots of nucleated Red blood cells but does not sustain (ie mature to haemoglobin). Dr Ting said he will look into the blood film to see where it goes wrong.
10:45am - Dr Teoh (intestine surgeon) - Abdominal pain on right hand side when press hard is ok. Don't have to woory too much now.
Summary:
Generally, all parameters shows sign of improvement. WBC is in normal range. This may mean less infection than yesterday. Corncern area is in the young red blood cell. It dies prematurely & Drs need to find out the cause. Dr Ting is the doctor to take care of this.

2008.11.12 - 9.30pm Update
Dad started dialysis around 11am and finished about 2pm. Removed 2 liter of fluid with toxin. Dr Lye originally intend to remove 3 ltr of fluid but change his mind when dad's BP start to fall when fluid is removed in excess of 2 ltr.
Right after dialysis, dad feel weak & but he is much more alert. His eyes are wide open and when we call him, he will turn his eye or head to have eye contact with us. Halleluja.
Dr Ting will do more test to find out the cause of hemolysis of RBC.
Freda was enjoying some light & spiritual moment with dad
Dad BP tonite (9:50pm) is irregular 85-105/45. But we are all at rest because Our mighty God is with him. Halleluja.

Praise God for positive signs of improvement that drive us to press on even more. On one hand, we see the positive result happening in dad's body, we don't forget to realise that God is also doing the renewing work in each of our spiritual lives. Just to be encouraged that through this difficult time, we learn to look into His words deeply, learn to kneel plead with God, learn to listen to Him. God had comforted us with answered prayers and miracles. I continue to see God's goodness. Just this morning, i was so thankful that i got a refund for our Airasia tickets (Sbw-Kch-Sbw Sector- in relation to our Melb trip) Airasia retine the schedule(both to & from), so i can have the refund. Praise the Lords!
I just want to share a song with you guys,
In Christ Alone
Youtube "In Christ Alone" Link
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
I hope you guys are blessed by this song. In Christ alone, we have nothing to fear ! The victory is ours. Hallelujah !

Andrew Sharing:
This morning when I do my quiet time with God. This verse come to me Eph 6:10 (Finally, be strong in the lord, and in the strength of his might). So do not under estimate what our lord can do. By the way just remember we are no against flesh & blood but against the evil one. Be couragous and stand firm with our persistent pray and petition for our dad healing. Andrew Lau
