Update 15 June 2017

Update posted by Jessica Tan

Mom had another episode of being dizzy, falling and then vomiting, which resulted in another admission to the hospital on 9 June 2017. This was followed by the usual complication of re-submitting documents, filling out same forms for subsidies and re-entering all previously provided details for medical subsidies enrollments. Since Mom was first admitted through A&E (and previously considered discharged already), she was seen as a "new" case vs "existing patient" so everything needs to start over. It was definitely administratively painful. :(

Subsequently, she was requested by the cancer ward to be transferred & admitted as their patient, and we are thankful that there is some continuity with the doctors reviewing her case and assessing her condition.

So here we are 1 week later, after all the scans, MRIs, x-rays are done. Mom is going to be discharge today after another round of blood transfusion - a luxury she now receives when she comes to the hospital, since as a palliative care patient, this is not done in home setting.

We are thankful to our friends who have supported us in this past week, especially for myself as I manage being a single full time peak-season-at-work working mom with toddler to juggle season (The husband and elder son is away in Japan). :) Hopefully life returns to the relatively peaceful pace in the next week or so. :)

Till our next update. :)
