SGH - Day 1

Wireless @ SG
Finally got the darn Wireless@SG thing going...almost impossible to obtain a good reception where I am (between 37% to 45%). Had to tilt multiple angles and all...anyway here I am blogging away again.

This Morning
We saw Dr Leong this morning and she commented that the blood test was fine, in fact it was a marginal improvement over the initial test 3 weeks ago. She then proceeded to admit us to SGH. The nurse confirmed that it was a packed day today as no one seemed to be checking out from the A1 or A1+ Wards. We settled for a B1 Ward anyway when the nurse called us at 3pm. (We had decided to go home and await the nurse's call when she had confirmed the ward details)

At SGH (Ward 48, Level 8 Room 11)
On arrival, I ushered Jo to her already vacant bed in the 4 bedded room. There were 3 other ladies here. Ward 48 is a Medical Oncology ward specialised in caring for Cancer patients. I tucked Jo into her bed and got her comfy then rushed down to get the admission done...little did I know that it took some 1.5 hours to complete this!!!

Treatment Postponed
By the time I got up at 5:10pm, the attending MO had mentioned that it was too late for the treatment and we would have to wait till tomorrow morning. I was flustered as we wanted this done today - that was the sole purpose of coming in. Anyway, I soon calmed down. Jo should have the treatment done 1st thing in the morning and prayerfully without major side effects. The infusion will last 60 mins as compared to 90 mins previously.

CS and wife & friend (Apple) came by and got a little piggy & card for her. A really cute one :) Thanks folks for your prayers too.

As of 1:00am, she's sleeping soundly having taken Lorezapam (sleeping pill). She had some chicken rice thingy for dinner but that couldn't quite make it for her and CS went down to the foodcourt to get some fish porridge which she enjoyed. Her parents came by too.

Please contact me first before coming by, am not too sure how she'll be feeling tomorrow. In any case she would love to have your company.

Once again, thank you for your continued prayer support.
