Dear friends & family,

Most of you would have already received our latest update via text messaging. To those whom we have the priviledge of you journeying with us via social media and here on these pages, here is the update we shared after the last family conference with the doctor on 24 April 2017.

"Hi all, updating this with a heavy heart : We just met with Mom's doctor and as expected, the chemo treatments are losing effect on her body. Right now, there is not much to be done. We will be managing her condition to give her as much comfort as possible in the weeks/months ahead with support from Palliative care doctor & staff. Doctor expects the leukemia to progress fairly quickly in the coming weeks/months but it is uncertain when/how long more she has.

For now, pls pray for peace upon my siblings heart. Although it is a terminal illness, truth still hurts. Pray for peace to protect everyone's heart and soundness of mind as we prepare for the final journey. Pray for mom also to have the peace and assurance of faith and not be fearful. Pray for God's grace to give her a relatively painless journey in this final stage."

Right now, mom is in hospital to manage a water-in-lung condition (possibly due to leukemia starting to take over). She is on morphine from time to time to help her cope with with the pains in her body as well. The medical team is doing their best to make mom as comfortable as possible and we hope that she gets well enough to be able to spend time at home.

(Separately: J2 has not been well too and so the family has to refrain from going to the hospital for visits - Me & J1 for risk of being virus carriers, and J2 clearly because he is a patient. It won't be for another 10 days before we are cleared to visit.)

We will continue to keep this page open and share updates on Mom here.

To those who have been giving financially, we thank you. We still do not know the final costs of all the medical bills and we will continue to trust God that His grace is sufficient.

To those who have given time to visit Mom in our stead, we are grateful. We know Mom appreciates the love, company and prayers through this unknown road. You represent the Rod & Staff of our Shepherd, bringing her comfort through the valley.

To those who have given your heart in prayer, we thank you. We continue to lean on them as the wind under our tired wings.

Till the next update!
