Getting Rid of Your Two Brothers and let’s go home

God is good all the time, He walked through the darkest valley with Mom and led her to the green pastures beside quiet waters.  He is with us the whole time. 

20121119 Monday – Thank God for His healing hands, Mom doesn't need the oxygen starting this evening.  Not just that, even her two “brothers” is no longer required.  Yup, that’s what Dr. Lutynski called the IV and her medication lines (that made my parents scratch their heads again, haha).  Let’s call it joke of the day from now on.  In other words, Mom is all “unplugged” with nothing attached.  She even went to the washroom by herself.  Yes, goodbye commode chair (Mom’s moving potty chair).  Her Picc line is still there for blood works though.

Dad said Mom’s been sitting on the arm chair the whole day which tells me that she’s feeling better.  She’s need to lie down as much with more energy.  Uncle Ed and Auntie Tiana were there when I arrived tonight.  I was so full after having so much at Shirley and Jack’s (happy birthday Jayden!).  I was kinda tired driving down.  I guess I need to remind myself how “young” I actually am (regardless of my mind, my behavior and my look, haha).

The hospital wi-fi wasn’t working but we still managed to FaceTime with Grandma and my Uncle/Aunt in HK with my hotspot.  Grandma kept teasing us about their hairy crabs dinner later with Fian and Kau Fu’s family.  Man, I miss my male hairy crabs!  Mom did two big scans this afternoon, one for her heart and one for her abdomen.  It took them the whole afternoon but Mom had a donut and French Vanilla while waiting.  Expect to see more BM, hahaha!  The only question mark is Dr. Lutynski’s “second round” comment.  According to my parents, he did mention it while leaving the room this afternoon but they are not sure.  But who cares?!  We just need to have total trust in Him.  Whatever it is, let’s take it with a smile!  We will all take it together always.

20121120 Tuesday – How many times did I thank Him?  I didn’t cry this time because I know He will take care of us.  Listen to this from Dad this morning…

Yes, MOM IS GOING HOME TOMORROW!!!  Auntie Constance and Monica, please inform the soup team to keep making soup but Mom can have it at HOME!!!  Dr. Lutynski said she can go shopping, she can meet friends, she can play with the boys and even have wines!  When Mom said she doesn’t drink wine, he said, “Oh, whiskey is fine too!”, hahaha.  What else can I say?  Gloria is right, “everything is a blessing”.  She said that with faith and trust even at the beginning when I was having doubt.  Wife is always right once again – thanks B. 

I brought an empty luggage down and came back with a fully packed one.  Dad was so excited that he wanted to pack everything up.  Mom and I calmed him down and asked him to take his time, hahaha.  So tomorrow, I’ll leave early from work and go pick them up.  Mom will need another bone marrow biopsy before she leaves tomorrow morning.  They will also need to see the discharge team and getting prescriptions before leaving.  Bye bye PMH and the numbers for now.

You may have already received Mom’s email last night about this good news.  This is definitely not the end.  I’ll try to keep this blog as updated as possible cuz’ our journey in His path has just begun, maybe just another chapter.  On behalf of my family, including Mom and Dad of course, I sincerely thank each one of you again for all your soup, phone calls, emails, presents, cards, visits, coffee, desserts, love, care and prayers.  Thanks Carly and Tyler for your warm hospitality for Dad and thanks for all the doctors and nurses at PMH.  And most important, thank God.  Let His kingdom come and let His will be done.
