Paul's tummy suddenly became very big, red and hard yesterday. It wasn't painful and we only found out when i was going to apply some oil for him and was shocked to see the size; it's like the size of a 3-4mth old pregnant woman's tummy.

I called the oncologist right away and after he saw it, he said he had to arrange the surgeon to take a look. The surgeon came this morning and told us he needs paul to go for another ct-scan as he fears it may be the cause of the tumour pushing thru the small intestines and causing a hole and there's collection of fluid in the intestines. I questioned why the previous ct-scan done on 11 aug showed nothing except for the distension of the intestines? He said it could be it happened only yesterday and he said it's a matter of time if the tumour grows and if ct-scan confirms this, paul most probably have to go for another minor surgery to drain the fluid and he may have to carry another bag outside his tummy.

We are saddened with the news; just when we thought things were better yesterday as his pain was better controlled and he's used to ketamine, no more hallucination and he was chatting so well with my colleagues and pastor and pastor's wife yesterday, so alert and spirit was high but now we have to receive news that really dampen our spirits.

Oh God, please do not let paul suffer more pain. Your Word says You will not let your children suffer beyond what we can bear and i believe in You. You have preserved him so many times and i know You will provide the best for your children. No one loves him more that You. I don't understand why but i choose to believe in You!
