105ians

There was some pain in the night and paul needed purging of morphine at 12, 2, 4 & 7am. Tummy is not as swollen now. They will take another bloodtest today and if everything remains fine, doctor is targetting to discharge him on Wed or Thurs.

Paul had been having difficulty in breathing and ct scan did show some collection of fluid outside both his lungs, esp the left lung. Doctor wanted to drain out the fluid with a needle today and send it for biopsy to see if there's any tumour and if after doing that, there's still collection of fluid, he may need another bag to drain the fluid. paul had gone thru so many surgery and he's so fearful and told the doctor to give him time to consider if he wants to go thru this. He just can't imagine more tube attached to his body.

Surgeon will be removing the tube which the radiologist attached on 14 aug thru his small intestine and he will let paul decide when he is ready for it.

This is definitely a very long and trying battle. We thank God for the strength to go thru this. We do not know how long more we have to fight this battle. We just want to believe and not lose faith.

Amen!
