We rest on Thee

Luan was discharged from the hospital on Friday, 24 Nov. Hui En came back from her mission trip to the Philippines on Sunday, 26 Nov.

But on Fri 1 Dec Luan had a fall (at home while getting up to go on the commode) & had a one inch cut on her head. Her blood count was also low and was admitted to the Sg Buloh Hospital where she was given 2 pts of blood transfusion. She was discharged the following day.

Last week Luan hardly ate and both her legs were swollen. Thus, on Thursday (7 Dec), Chris decided to admit her (to Pantai Medical Centre). She was placed on drip and fed nutrition intravenously.

On Sat according to hospital procedures Chris was informed that they had put Luan in the dangerously ill list.

On Sat also, they put in a feeding tube for her in order for the nutrition to be pumped directly into the stomach. On Sunday morning she had a sore on her back and also a slight fever.

But she still has the urge to go on the commode (every 10 mins or so) and the hospital nurses are finding it hard to cope. Chris engaged a night nurse. Various sisters (from different churches) are also now helping in relieving Chris.

Chris has been very tired as he is the primary care-giver, changing the 2 colostomy bags which sometimes leak and peel off due to Luan’s movements and their position. He has been administering her morphine dosage as well as other medications besides helping Luan who has been having this very frequent urge to go to the toilet due to the urinary tract infection. Luan too has been in great pain these couple of weeks and it is heart-breaking for him to see his loved one in this painful struggle. So do remember Chris very much in your prayers.

On a positive note, his mum has been recuperating well – the wound has healed and although unable to walk, is in good spirits and is very much her normal self and with a big smile and lightened heart. Praise the Lord!

Thank the Lord, Chung En has managed to change his flight and will be joining the family this afternoon.

The church has come round to worship, break bread & pray with Chris & Luan. Whilst it has been a roller-coaster ride, many positive things have also resulted for which we are all thankful to the Lord.

We ask God in His sovereign mercy to release His healing, to still the storm… His ways are higher than ours… we submit to His perfect plan.

I hope that this update will be useful to guide you in your prayers. Thank you once again for your fellowship.
