2008.11.13 7:15pm Update:
Dad finished dialysis at about 4pm, added 2 pints of blood & 500ml of Plasma, 1 ltr of fluid was removed.
CT scan (without contrast) done at about 5pm and now waiting for report.
Now, dad is sleeping peacefully, BP130/45, HR=75, SPO2=100%, BPM=29, Breathing is easy.
I notice that this evening dad's tummy a bit bloated & firm. Dr Lam didn't visit dad today.

2008.11.13 4:15pm update:
Dr Lye came about 12:30pm. Culture from tubes from all the 3 sites are free from bateria. So he suspect the infection may from from abdominal. Hence he ordered CT scan without contrast to be done today 4:30pm. He also confirm to transfuse 2 bags of blood as hamoglobin id low (7.6) and 2 bags of plasma. Due to excess fluid going in, hence he ordered dialysis to start at 12:30pm.

2008.11.13 11:20am update:
Dad last nite went thru a tremor... BP drop to 57(systolic) and heart rate below 60. There was a panic call about 11:30pm. Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) test was done and found that dad's blood is too acidic. PH7.286 (N7.35-7.45) and Base excess -13.8 (N=0). Sodium Bicarbonate was administered to balance the acidity. Dad BP back to normal about 105/45 about 45minutes laters. PTL. The cause likely is due to metabolic acidosis.
Dad slept about 2:30am peacefully & restful till the morning. This morning, he is more alert when Dr Tang tested him. All Drs are happy about his alertness. All parameters about the same, x ray show lung is clearer now, but haemoglobin is low (7.6) despite 2 pints (700ml) of lood was transfused yesterday. Hence, today 2 more pints of blood will be given. Dr Ting ordered G6PD test to find out the cause of RBC disoder. Dr Cheong suggested to use bactrim antibiotic to wipe the bacteria infection but was worry about the IMPACT on the kidney, hence Dr Lye advise is needed. Dr Teoh said dad abdominal condition remain the same.
Dad still on antibiotic minocycline,tygacil & flagyl. Heart still supported by Dopamine(7ug/kg/min).
Parameters:
HR =78, BP =116/40, BPM=32, SPO2=100%, O2 support=35%.
Haemoglobin=7.6, RBC=2.53, WBC=11.55,Nucleated RBC=28,
Prothrombin Time Patient =18.6(N10-14), PTT=48.3 (N25-41)

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. As for me(Andrew Lau), I continue to faithfully pray and petition our mighty God for dad's healing.

The following are some of the healing word that I come across.
1) Our covenant for healing.
Isaiah 53:4 Surely our griefs (sicknesses) He Himself bore, and our sorrows (pain) He carried, yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.
2) Jesus delivers our healing.
Mattew 8:17 In order that what was spoken through Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "He Himself took our infirmities, and carried away our diseases."
3) Our authority, His power.
Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurts them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.
4) Our faith for healing
James 5:15 The prayer of faith shall save the sick and the lord shall rise him up; and if he have commited sins, they shall be forgiven him.
5) Our confidence for healing.
John 14:13-14 And whatever you sak in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in My name, I will do it."
Remember : Healing is sign to the unbeliever! Hebrews 2:4
