20121109 Friday - I left fellowship early and tried to visit Mom earlier but she fell asleep early too, so Dad said not to come down. But he has this problem doing hyperlinks in iPad, so we had a good chat (not successful though). I guess it's a little bit too complicated for them. I used to have no patience at all with them on these things (actually, I'm still better than Fian, hahaha). Surprisingly, I think I have become a more mature man lately, believe it or not, hahaha. God has taught us things through different circumstances I guess. Through Jake for sure and now through my "aging" parents. God is great!
Because of the yeast infection and the removal of the Hickman line, Mom had her Picc line done this morning which is a line that is similar to Hickman line but this time coming from her upper left arm. According to Dad, she eats a little better than the day before, during breakfast time at least (still not much during lunch/dinner). Her blood work is always fluctuating. I know God is in control and I know even if I understand everything medically, it may not help much stopping me from worrying. Yes, it sounds contradicting but it's true. Worry, peace, worry, peace, worry, peace just keep popping up non-stop, hahaha. Not sure if this makes sense to you, there are just still a lot of question marks in my head. I guess I'll just need to keep bugging Him, hahaha...
20121110 Saturday - like last week, our whole family went down after cell group but since Mom has MRSA, only Gloria and I went up (we took our turns while the boys were napping). I spent quite some time helping them with the Korean show and the email hyperlink issue. Yes, I can't do hyperlink on iPad when composing emails! Does anyone know how? Mom looks better today, finished one episode with the congee. She also asked for dumpling noodles from Kenny's noodles specifically. I'm always so happy to receive her requests if you know what I mean. We left when the boys got up and we had dinner at China Town again. The last time I had dinner this often was when I was still a student. Most of my friends are now in HK (you know who I'm talking about, hahaha).
Mom was too full for the noodles after the congee. I guess she will have that for dinner. Dad will finish Mom's dinner from hospital plus whatever leftover of the noodles. We offered to bring him up but he refused again. I still want to give him a break. Pray for Dad's health and his strength, not just physically but mentally. I can't imagine but I guess if Gloria is sick, I probably can do the same.
20121111 Sunday - what a warm day today. God is good always. We went visit them after visiting them little Carson. Mom's blood work is showing some signs of response. Her Neutrophil (white blood cells for fighting germs/diseases) was almost zero in the past but it's going up to 0.06! Yea, I know I must look crazy being this excited with 0.06 but God gave me this peaceful excitement somehow, thank God. Pray that Mom's bone marrow is starting to give us some good feedback cuz' if the response is not pleasant, Mom may need to go through another round of even stronger chemo with greater side effects.
Uncle Ed and Auntie Tiana came just shortly after I stepped in. Cuz' it's already six when I arrived, I didn't stay long as my boys normally eat at six and when they are waiting downstairs. Mom only wanted my phone (so she can watch more Korean shows). I want to switch them to Wind Mobile or something cheaper with data. They can use my phone even, anything. I left my phone (and the soup) but I took Dad with me for dinner. Yup, Dad got to spend time with the boys!!! Jonah my sweetest baby kept asking for Yeh Yeh the whole time. I'm sure Dad will give you a big smile if you ask him about Sunday's dinner with Jonah. And cuz' of that, I didn't even need to feed him one spoonful of food the whole night, hahaha. Thanks Jonah (and thanks Daddy)!!! We asked Dad about his feelings and it seems that God has done something. He said he loves spending time reading his famous Chinese books by 金庸 and playing his Sudoku, hahaha. Oh yeah, almost forgot to print him some Sudoku blocks, hahaha. (See the pictures below, Dad is still Dad - wants to keep his Sudoku book playable forever!).
"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his willthrough all spiritual wisdom and understanding." (Colossians 1:9)
