Last night I received a call from the doctor at TTSH. Mom had a sudden infection and had to be warded into the ICU immediately. I was very worried the whole night, and rushed to the hospital next morning to see the doctor for an update.
The doctors were not able to identify the bug, so they put her on a dose of general antibiotics, until they can locate the actual bug. She is responding well to the medicine, and has regained consciousness, and is able to squeeze my hand with her thumb again.
Another day of hopping by the hospital (three times today). But as long as mom is fine, everything is worth it.
She is supposedly due to be transferred to Ren Ci tomorrow, but due to this sudden infection, they have to postpone the transfer yet another time. My domestic helper Jovelyn has started to learn how to take care of mom from the nurses, but the training has to be deferred for now.
As I left the ICU, I placed the teddy bear gently back onto her palm.
