Being married for 14 years, this was my first encounter to&amp;nbsp;admit him into a hospital.&amp;nbsp; This virus attack persisted almost&amp;nbsp;two weeks.&amp;nbsp; Just in the nick of time to recover from this nasty ulcers, he started to cough.&amp;nbsp; The cough wasn't a normal flu coughing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It&amp;nbsp;made him&amp;nbsp;breathless, unable to&amp;nbsp;lie down flat to sleep and he&amp;nbsp;need to be&amp;nbsp;in a 45 degree position for a few nights.&amp;nbsp; At times, he would wake up from his sleep and broke&amp;nbsp;into consistent coughing in the middle of night, liked a TB patient.&amp;nbsp; Pretty scary!&amp;nbsp; The cough lasted almost a week and again&amp;nbsp;while&amp;nbsp;it was getting off, his right foot&amp;nbsp;started to swell!&amp;nbsp; It got so&amp;nbsp;bad till he nearly couldn't drive his car back home.&amp;nbsp; Neither could he walk properly.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Our family doctor started to get pretty concern and asked him to go for a full checkup as he had lost 6 kg within 3 weeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;

We used a string to wrap it round a few times and throw to spin it. It has a similar concept to his beyblade. It was a causal remark which any mom would share with her children how their childhood was. This conversation was made more than a year&amp;nbsp;ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, Nathan went for an excursion at Kampong Glum. He saw the top I mentioned.&amp;nbsp; He remembered it.&amp;nbsp; Out of his balance cash of $4, he took out $2.50 to get one&amp;nbsp;for me! I was very touch, really very touch. It is not the gift but the act of him remembering what I shared causally touches my heart.&amp;nbsp; He told me he wants me to remember my childhood.&amp;nbsp; How sweet is he!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nathan, if you ever read or re-read this entry years down the road, mummy wants you to know, this top is very precious and meaningful to me. I will definitely keep it forever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MmjTCcVUA1I/TlQwzM2Qq7I/AAAAAAAACHU/wAK4DN-RB7Y/s1600/DSC08020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

They are our new hamsters named by Nathan.&amp;nbsp; He HOPE to have hamsters for very long and WISH that one day we will agree to let him to keep them again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Children longed and craved for things.&amp;nbsp; Today they like it, tomorrow they don't.&amp;nbsp; Somehow, the desire for hamsters&amp;nbsp;stay with&amp;nbsp;Nathan for very long.&amp;nbsp; We have so many pairs till we lost count of them.&amp;nbsp; Initially, we agreed to buy if he score X number of Band 2 and X number of Band 3.&amp;nbsp; It was a condition agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the midst of the preparation for the exams, he gauged that he would not able to meet our expectation.&amp;nbsp; He was saddened.&amp;nbsp; I could see his efforts invested.&amp;nbsp; Somehow, some things couldn't make it happened within a short period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing his strong desire for it, CK finally agreed to buy the hamsters simply to&amp;nbsp;show him we love him.&amp;nbsp; We love him, be it he scores well or bad.&amp;nbsp; On the other hand, I would love to let him know we appreciate his effort and hard work&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;the exams.&amp;nbsp; Hence, here comes the hamsters &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;before&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; exam results released.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many instances, results do not match the efforts.&amp;nbsp; There is NO correct formula of the number of hours input = numbers of points scored.&amp;nbsp; I clearly remembered I put in lots of hard work on my "A" levels but still&amp;nbsp;failed my GP.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It wasn't&amp;nbsp;easy to comprehend that when I was 19.&amp;nbsp; So what can a 11 years old&amp;nbsp;boy&amp;nbsp;understand?&amp;nbsp; The school system is cruel enough to label him, he does not need another one from&amp;nbsp;his parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this little award will be his booster, to continue to run a good race, giving his best in everything he does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As parents, we need to learn to appreciate/ encourage/ reward the process, not just the outcome.&amp;nbsp; I am glad we made this decision.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2020361176499340701-6271549423776731287?l=yvonnescreation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonnescreation.blogspot.com/feeds/6271549423776731287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2020361176499340701&amp;postID=6271549423776731287&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2020361176499340701/posts/default/6271549423776731287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2020361176499340701/posts/default/6271549423776731287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonnescreation.blogspot.com/2011/05/hope-and-wish.html' title='Hope and Wish'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11350429624966846187</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uFNHFi806a4/TdH4_vSYDsI/AAAAAAAACHI/prTMJJVZmqM/s72-c/hope.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020361176499340701.post-5693536919281693767</id><published>2011-04-03T22:33:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-04-04T07:03:17.153+08:00</updated><title type='text'>March - an eventful month</title><content type='html'>﻿﻿It's over!&amp;nbsp;

His swallowing muscles was not function well.&amp;nbsp; The food was going into the respiratory system instead of digestive system.&amp;nbsp; On long run, if he was not going with a tube feeding, he would suffer pneumonia which would lead to&amp;nbsp;death.&amp;nbsp; My mind went blank.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I remembered I was alone in Vivocity sourcing a gift for&amp;nbsp;a colleague.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I stood for quite a while staring at the crowd with heavy and burdened heart.&amp;nbsp; Being intellectually disabled is indeed pitiful and now he has to be bed-ridden with a tube inserted through his nose?&amp;nbsp; This is absolutely&amp;nbsp;a SAD story!&amp;nbsp; Is that the end of the story?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I vividly recalled myself insisting the doctor to continue to fix&amp;nbsp; regular review by speech therapy as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #6aa84f;"&gt;MIRACLE can happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still remembered that very Friday, I was supposed to teach the 1st lesson of Great Faith.&amp;nbsp; I told CG I came with a burden heart.&amp;nbsp; It wasn't an easy lesson for me to deliver.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We ended in an intercession praying for unanswered prayers in our lives - &lt;span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;surely my brother's healing was the cry of my heart&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After returning from vacation, things started to move on &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as if my brother will not get better&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; He was transferred to a Buffer Stepdown Unit (BSU) to wait for a nursing home.&amp;nbsp; We were told the waiting period could be as long as half a year.&amp;nbsp; Guess what?&amp;nbsp; Less than a month, there was a nursing home willing to take him.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It was too soon for any delight&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;However, due to some miscommunication, we did not proceed with the admission to the nursing home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, situation made a 360 degree changed.&amp;nbsp; On the last day of 2010, speech therapy informed me that my brother showed significant improvement of his swallowing.&amp;nbsp; However, to be assured that the food is going into the right pipe, they would need to do an X-ray while feeding him.&amp;nbsp; As he still had a wire in his jaws due to the operation for his fractured chin bone, I requested for the X-ray to be done after 18 Jan as that was the day he was scheduled to&amp;nbsp;remove that wire.&amp;nbsp; It would be a more conclusive&amp;nbsp;judgement of his swallowing muscles.&amp;nbsp; The speech therapy agreed to this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Low and behold, the trauma did not end.&amp;nbsp; His blood pressure (BP)&amp;nbsp;went below acceptable range after the wire being removed.&amp;nbsp; He was sent to&amp;nbsp;A&amp;amp;E on the same day.&amp;nbsp; Somehow, when he reached A&amp;amp;E his&amp;nbsp;BP went back to normal.&amp;nbsp; Due to some ridiculous policy, the BSU had discharged my brother after sending him to A&amp;amp;E.&amp;nbsp; He was left with no place to go and had to "hangout" in A&amp;amp;E for a good 7 hours!&amp;nbsp; He ended with admission to TTSH for no good reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt so frustrated and helpless&amp;nbsp;with the whole episode&amp;nbsp;of what my brother had gone through.&amp;nbsp; Just because he couldn't speak and express himself?&amp;nbsp; I literally cried to God the next morning for His direction and somehow I had an impression to let him continue to stay in TTSH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, with that assurance I told the social worker I would have my brother continue to stay at TTSH and have the X-ray soonest to bring a conclusion of his health.&amp;nbsp; She cautioned me that hospital bill would be more expensive and I replied, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #6aa84f;"&gt;my brother will be discharged soon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The same message I told my sisters, Yes - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #38761d; color: black;"&gt;he will be discharged soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;Today is the day - he went for his X-ray.&amp;nbsp; Speech therapy called me around 4pm.&amp;nbsp; Good news!&amp;nbsp; Miracle&amp;nbsp;happened.&amp;nbsp; My brother will be off&amp;nbsp;from tube feeding&amp;nbsp;from tomorrow onwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I write all these details, I realised God's hands is indeed upon the whole scenario.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;If wasn't HIM, we could just accept it is a norm for a&amp;nbsp;down sydrome person.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;If wasn't&amp;nbsp;HIM, we could have admitted my brother into a nursing home.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;If wasn't&amp;nbsp;HIM, my brother would not be back in TTSH with an expedite speed of review by speech therapy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly give thanks for every step that He leads and guides us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2020361176499340701-6530737350052486201?l=yvonnescreation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonnescreation.blogspot.com/feeds/6530737350052486201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2020361176499340701&amp;postID=6530737350052486201&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2020361176499340701/posts/default/6530737350052486201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2020361176499340701/posts/default/6530737350052486201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonnescreation.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-brother-part-3.html' title='My Brother - Part 3'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11350429624966846187</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020361176499340701.post-8458699709148504626</id><published>2011-01-08T19:32:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-01-08T19:32:08.330+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Counting Answered Prayers</title><content type='html'>Last night, as a Care Group we gathered in the 1st CG meeting in new year starting with counting of prayers we presented to God that were answered last year:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Let me put in this way, we never noted about this place when we did our research from Singapore.&amp;nbsp; Came to know only when we happened to visit a tour agency during one of the shopping trips.&amp;nbsp; It has little advertisement, low profile, even the brochure and website looks non professional.&amp;nbsp; However, the reviews about it was like 100% good.&amp;nbsp; I have to say it was awesome!&amp;nbsp; First time in my life that I ever got so closed and near to wild animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PIU6TQj6Fus/TPhG5UJZnpI/AAAAAAAACAA/CD_cUVJ39WM/s1600/DSC06794.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

But in this wildlife, they provide a river (not muddy) for them to live in.&amp;nbsp; They were so clean and no smell at all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Could be due to rain, the whole safari has only our family for 1st 1.5 hrs.&amp;nbsp; At 1030 feeding time for bears, just another family of 3 joined us.&amp;nbsp; Since the crowd was small, we had the privilege to go into its resting cage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The keepers threw 3 pieces of meat with bones on different spot.&amp;nbsp; He did ask us to get our video ready but before I could press the button, the lions CHARGED out in split of seconds!&amp;nbsp; Maybe 2 seconds... so fast!&amp;nbsp; Hey, can they go back again?&amp;nbsp; I thought.&amp;nbsp; But that awesome moment was still in our memory, CK and Nathan were also thrilled at that sight.&amp;nbsp; Here is the video of one of them crunching... not nuts but bones.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNhxWsHDwa8?hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNhxWsHDwa8?hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Rhino feeding time...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wz4e3QL_4SM?hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wz4e3QL_4SM?hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were so much to share, but don't think can finish all the details.&amp;nbsp; However, highly recommending this Reserve to anyone who goes to Cairns.&amp;nbsp; The entrance fee is even cheaper than the Zoo we visited on Day 2.&amp;nbsp; Nevertheless, it is built in a rainforest, lots of hills up and down, thus not so suitable for people who can't walk well.&amp;nbsp; But I saw them kept a few spare wheelchairs at the reception.&amp;nbsp; It has a wildlife feel thus it is good to bring along insect repellent.&amp;nbsp; Also, this place does not have kangaroo or koala if you MUST see one.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just another special pics to share:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
