Charmaine Operation Progress

Thursday, June 18, 2009

0924:
Sedated and in OT.

1447:
Charmaine was very strong when she went in. She didnt cry at all. And she didnt put up any resist. Am very proud of her maturity and her courage. She's still inside.

1603:
The anathesist just came out for her break. She saw me and said the op still has a long way. Pray for Char

1728:
Dr Chui just came out. Said they removed 99% of the tumour and 10% of her liver. Lost blood and had a few packs of transfusion. Dr Ong is stitching up her wound now. Will take some time. But she's stable and will be pushed to icu.

1851:
Char is still not out yet

2010:
Char just came out of ot. I still cant go in yet.

2130:
Cyn is wif char in the icu ward now. So she cant use the fone. We only get to see char ard 8.40pm in the icu ward. Get a glimpse of char when shes pushed into the icu ard 7.30pm if not wrong. The doc took out the respiratory thing after the ops. But later they feel that her breathin is not up to their expectation or standard. So they give her the oxygen mask and insert a tube through her nose til the nasal to help facilitate her breathing. Shes still breathin on her own. Char also have high chances of bleeding. Cyn will confirm wif dr chui as he didnt mention to up earlier on. thus they doing blood transfusion now as well. Shes also sedated with little bit of morphine as her wound is rather big and will hurt. Overall shes considered stable.

Thank goodness.

Love, Charlene

2341:
Char woke up abt 10.30pm. She cried very loudly, shouted pain. Her nasal tube to aid her breathing got wrenched out. The doc decided to take it out than. She also asked for water but we couldn't feed her any. She cries that her throat is painful. :-( when i was told to wait outside, she again cried loudly for kor kor and mummy. I tried my best to hold my tears because i really don't wish her to see me cry when she's already in so much pain... She eventually calmed down when i told her e 'secret' of how Jase fell at waiting area.

2349:
I told Charmaine, 'you have already won your monster! Mummy knows you are in pain but just focus on 2 days later when e pain will be gone. Told her that if she drinks water now, she wil vomit and its more painful. She understood everything i said. She listened quietly, and asked for her towel pillow and dozed off into her sleep shortly. I don't know how is it that she can be this brave and strong, but she just is. So much stronger than this mummy of hers... I'm just sitting outside at e waiting area, too afraid to fall asleep now.

0012:
Sigh, char is having a fever now :-( am getting worried. The transfusions have not stopped yet. Plasma, packed cells. Hopefully she can pass tonight safely.

0014:
I just whispered into her ears, saying I'm going to rest for an hour. She's asleep but she actually shook her head!

0118:
She woke up in pain again. Immediately after my last msg. Cried, and wanted everything off her. :-(she can't sleep through. The painkiller they gave cannot be too high because she's not on respirator. Painkkiller will shrink e airway.

Please continue to pray for Charmaine to pass through everything safely.

Love,
Jolene

0700:
Fever has subsided but still having plasma transfusion.

0923:

(Email us, and if needed, we will provideo our contact number instead)

Love, Charlene

Hi Charmaine

I saw this blog through AJC Alumni. Right now I command every illness to leave your physical body in the name of Jesus Christ. I command the name of illness to bow before the Glory of God and I speak healing into your body and soul. No weapon that is formed against Charmaine shall prosper. I ask Jehovah Rapha, my God my Healer to overshadow you with the presence and power of His Holy Spirit and I command every darkness to leave Charmaine in Jesus' name

I got to see this through AJC Alumni too. Cynthia mummy, hang on there, you still have a long battle to fight along with lil' Char!

Looking at your blog and encouraging comments really make me tear and the least I can do is to keep clicking the Nuffnang ads.

So yeah, hang on there and you're doing a great job! (both cyn mummy and sweet darling char) Jiayou and God bless (:

And Cynthia mummy, you're so fortunate to have cute lil Jase Jase who cares and protects Char a lot!

Rmb, you're not fighting this battle alone with Char because you've loads more 'warriors' --- Jase, Jolene, Charlene, etc etc. Fight on!! (:

Hi while I think it is important to make sure little charmaine is okay from the operation and such -- we will need to try to raise funds for her for her treatment overseas.

Maybe if you are not comfortable with account number on the page, you can try to use paypal for donation?

Anonymous said...

Dear Charmaine,

you are once brave lil' girl & I know you'll never give up in fighting against this ugly monster... Keep up the strong fighting spirit & I'm sure with your loving mummy & others, you'll defeat this monster & walk strong & healthy again!!

All the rest, lets stand out & help Lil' Charmaine & her family in all manners within our means...

To Charmaine's Mummy, Jolene & Charlene: Stay strong & take care of yourselves too cause you all are lil' Charmaine's important physical & emotional support...

Cyn mommy said...

Hi all,

Thanx for everything. Charmaine, cyn mummy, cyn's family, the feisty team and cyn's friends rallying around her would stay strong and healthy.

Please continue to pray for Charmaine k? She's in great pain and she can't sleep at all. My heart breaks just seeing what cyn text. =(


To the many with various suggestions:

Some of you were worried and frustrated at having to go through added layers to obtain the POSB savings a/c #.

As mentioned a few times, we had put up a POSB savings a/c # publicly on the blog a few months back. However, we had to take it down as donation was only legal through first degree contacts.

We're in the midst of discussion and finding out once more if we are able to put the POSB a/c # publicly. We also have a paypal a/c but that is my personal a/c specially set up for Char. The funds would all go to her of course but the thing is paypal charges admin fees and we do want 100% of the funds that people donate to go to char.

We are aware that time is a crucial factor here. We'll get back to all concerned parties asap on whether to reveal the a/c # publicly.

Dear Charmaine,

may God lend you His Strength and tide you over this difficult period.

I will pray for you. Stay strong. :)
