today was orange day for all the kindergartens

4d3n education trip to kuching, sarawak

day/date: thursday, 28 oct 2010
time: 5.30am sharp
assembling venue: south view primary school, school foyer

they found puss in my dad's kidney, and his doctor decided to drain it out. with the help of ultra-sound, a needle was guided to locate the puss and later something like i/v was placed and a tube helps to suck it out. this bottle was used to contain the puss.

when i spoke to doc mok, he told me that my father would be awake throughout the procedure. and after talking to my youngest sis about it, i became worried if my dad's heart could take the pain from the needle and all.

amazingly, my dad said that he was asleep throughout although there was no jab given to him before the procedure. he was looking at the equipment screen the specialist was working on, and suddenly he felt sleepy. when he woke up, he saw they were adjusting the plastic container. it was all over.

my dad is now strong enough to sit up and feed himself

this is the first time i met ranjana. she sat obediently and quietly in her seat until she reached home.

i am now officially bus aunty-aunty

we went to visit my daddy again this morning and met the doctor who explained to us about his progress. my dad has been on insulin since 2 or 3 days ago in order to keep his diabetes under control. they have now decided to try put him back on oral medication from tomorrow onwards and shall observe how much it can help him. if this succeeds, he doesn't need the insulin after his discharge.

my dad has been hospitalised again since 13 oct at midnight.

in the early morning on that same day, my mom called about my dad who suddenly became too weak to move and had breathing difficulty. we sent him to the clinic and the doctor confirmed that he missed his medications for the long 2 months. and it's now taking its toll with slight swelling on both his legs. he also complained that he felt as if there's a sponge stucked to both his soles.

that night, my sisters decided to send him to the hospital hoping that the doctors can help bring down his sugar level and subsequently attend to his breathing problem.

today i started to help my hubby attending to the kindergarten students on his transport, sending them home from school. they are all so cute.

jyothsana was the first one to board and asked me, "are you the new bus auntie?"

i said, "yes. what's your name?"

"i'm jyothsana. what's yours?"

"i'm suzana. nice meeting you." and we both shook hands.

later she introduced me to all her friends on the bus.

we had so much fun talking and joking around. i watched some of the little gentlemen playing games, making sure that they don't leave their seats. at the same time i listened to all the stories that the girls were so eager to share with me.

while joking around and snapping their photos, my hubby turned around and told me "you are suppose to control them, not play with them." i smiled, choosing to continue the conversations with the girls.
