2008.11.15 Fighting on ...

11:50am update:

Dad had a good rest last nite.

This morning HR=86,BP=98-102/36-39, BPM=26-30, SPO2=100, O2 supp=35%, Dopamine=6 ug/kg/min. All looks good.

Blood test result : PH7.437, BE=0.6, Hb=9.8 (Yesterday=10.3). Also ok.

No fever & last nite no spike.
Dr Teoh said tummy ok. Stool (diarrhea) lab test not out yet.

Dr Jong said dad is stable.Lung stronger. SIMC reduce to 8 from 10, PEEP reduce from 6 to 5. All these indicate that dad lung is stronger now.

Dr Ting said the RBC breakdown likely is due to dad reaction to one of the drug, so he will find out more.

Dr Cheong & Dr Tand said lung is better & other parameters remain the same

Dr Lam said dad is coming out from DIC (Disseminated intravascular coagulation) which normally has fatality rate of 90%.He presribe potassium as it is on the low side.

Dr Lye said it seems that infection is less as WBC is reducing & haemoglobin is maintaing quite ok. Others parameters remain the same. Today dialysis will target to remove 2.5 ltr of fluid with toxin.

Overall, dad's condition is improving & stable.


Prayer points:

1. Praise point - Stable and bouncing back in all parameters.
2. Dad's spirit will remain high and faith is strong in the One who can heal him.
3. Degeneration of nucleated Red blood cell can be resolved as soon as possible
4. Infection especially chest area will continue to clear
5. Financial needs - favourable response from management board
6. Carers - United and faithful in nightly prayers. Remove our fearful and unbelieving hearts, put on the full armour of God and stand on guard in the intercessory prayers for dad & the medical team.

Scriptural verses to encourage our hearts:

Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."

Romans 9:16 "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

Ephesians 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

Praise the Lord for all the good thing that he had done and continue doing it. Today I want to share this simple verse with you.

Our confidence in healing
Mark 11:24
Therefore, I say to you: "All things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you."

Deal all,

Praise almighty Lord for what he had done for dad thus far.

I wish to share with you Psalm 40: 2-3.
"He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord".

May God answer our prayers to lift dad up from his bed to stand on his feet!
Praise the Lord.
