Paul was feeling extremely breathless despite having the oxygen running continuously this morning at around 730am. He had not been feeling too good the past 3days as it seems his breathlessness is getting worse. He told me that he just felt he is leaving this world every time he experiences this sudden attack and today is the 3rd time he's feeling it.

I called Dr Khoo this morning as paul was in cold sweat and grasping for air and very agitated. Dr Khoo told me to purge the morphine for him every half an hour until he is stabilised and also to give him 2 valves of steroid injections and monitor his parameters every hour. At around 12pm, Paul started to feel lousy again; retching and restless and Dr Khoo told me to give him 2valves of sleeping medication and anti-nausea injection. Paul managed to dose off for about an hour after that.

Dr Khoo believes the sudden breathlessness is caused by the clot at the lung which unfortunately can't be treated at this moment. Hopefully with the injections, morphine etc, it can help to ease paul's discomfort.

Dr Kok just called and he will be coming over later this afternoon to top-up the morphine and also may install another pump which is supposed to relax paul and help to ease his breathlessness.

Paul is much better now except abit drowsy due to the morphine.

I pray that God will carry him through all these and give him strength, peace and joy and remove all fear and anxiety.
