Update 18 May 2017

Update posted by Jessica Tan

Since stopping Chemo Treatments, the good news is that Mom has regained her sense of taste and hence she is slowly gaining her appetite back. On the other hand, the leukemia is causing breathlessness from time to time. The palliative care doctors are helping her to manage this with the morphine.

As the focus now is providing care and comfort, and seeing mom's blood pressure is somewhat stable, the hospital have decided to discharge her. Mom is now at home and the palliative care team will visit her once a week to monitor her condition and help her manage any pains or symptoms.

We really appreciate the friends who have taken time to visit mom both at hospital and at home. She really appreciates the company and prayers she has received from each of you. We thank you also for taking time in this season to listen and get to know mom. :) Mom has always been a sociable person and enjoy making friends.

Before we close today's update, here a picture of Mom enjoying a piece of pizza she has craved for since regaining her sense of taste (just before she was discharged from hospital).
