The tube inserted by the radiologist into the small intestine was removed yesterday by the surgeon. Bloodtest result was out and it shows paul's protein and red blood cells are very low and the oncologist had given paul two bottle of albumin and a jab yesterday. He had also ordered two pkts of blood for paul today and he's also concerned that paul's passing too little urine. He will increase his nutrition today and will give more albumin to increase his protein level.

Paul didn't have much pain last night since the dosage of the continuous infusion of morphine was increased from 2ml per hr to 2.5ml but he didn't sleep very well as he was feeling breathless frequently despite having the oxygen. He had decided to go ahead to let the doctor drain the fluid from his lung today, hopefully there's no need to attach any tube! Doctor mentioned that if the quantity is not too much, there's no need to attach a tube to drain the fluid.

Paul managed to walk one round yesterday. Praise God! His weight has also increased from 56.4 to 66kg. Though it may be water retention, it's good to see him more meaty than when he was admitted on 4 aug. He's getting very lethargic and can't wait to go home. His back is sore and he's feeling very restless. We talked last night and we know that we must give thanks for every small improvement and not take things for granted. Though all seen evidence are not very encouraging but the most important thing right now is that he is painfree and alert.

We just have to continue to pray and let God's Will Be Done!
