Updates - 7 April 2007

Jo's condition has improved a fair bit since Friday. Thank you all for your prayers!

No need for the hospital at this moment.

She's begun to eat a little more - steamed cod fish, steamed egg (Japanese version - Chawanmushi) which her wonderful sister Jessica has been preparing for over the last 2 days. Her mom & dad's fish dishes are incredible, the least to say. And she's also had some soup this evening...she still looks extremely scrawny

She's been really tired too, resting nearly every 2-3 hrs of waking time. It takes lots of energy to fight this dreaded thing and besides, her limited food intake doesn't help at all.

I am thankful for God's Blessings whether big or small. In this case, just seeing her slurp the Chawanmushi and not seeing her vomit and suffer in pain is all I am delighted and grateful to God for. She's walking rather fine, might have also pulled a shoulder muscle due to the Bee episode (go read about it..) a few days back, but in general she's smiled and even got on a call with her good friend.

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up on wings as eagles." Isaiah 40:31
