An update on Mom's health

Tuesday, April 4th

Hi,
I spoke to Mom's night nurse and he said that she is resting properly now. Mom an interesting day. She was a little anxious about medications and random stuff in the afternoon and got a little tired. Her doctors say that her heart and lungs are recoverying well. But they are still trying to figure out how the problem with her liver and pancreas happened and so are unable to properly address its treatment. The doctors are all wonderful; they have recruited the best in the field and I am confident they will figure something out soon. Mom was a little restless in the ICU today but it's hard to make her comfortable as she doesn't like watching TV or listening to music when she is sick. She is unable to go outside or be moved to a window (the ICU doesn't have windows) right now. We just all have to be patient--whoever coined the word patient was very wise! Patients have to have so much patience. (I know that was a lame joke). Sheila aunty and Dad visited her at night until she kicked them out as she wanted to rest.
So all in all a little rocky day for mom as her liver/pancreas isnt doing well and she got a bit anxious. But she knows everyone loves her and is praying for her and that she has to be patient. Therefore, I know she's doing all she can to keep herself calm and rest as much as possible. Keep up the great prayers/thoughts! :o)

Yes, Shaylee,

You are 100% right."We just all have to be patient--whoever coined the word patient was very wise!" But is is so difficult sometimes to implement it in practise what the wisemen tell us. We can well understand and appreciate Mom's anxiety and irritation as she has been caged in the ICU now for quite a while but where is the choice.

I remember Nanimasi going through such phase in the ICU as it is very difficult for them to go on bearing with all the discomforts for such a long time. I am sure God will give strenggth to all to tide over this difficult phase.

Pl. convey our best wishes and prayers. Take care.

Love,
Nanimasi & masa
