Tough Moments

Been traveling back and forth regularly to the hospital for almost a week to visit dear Granny who was hospitalized initially due to heavy swell on both legs. It got worse when she was down with a fever and low blood pressure during her stay on the first day. Everyone in the family have been going through a tiring and depressed period since then.

We made frequent visits daily and I felt relieved to see her getting better day by day, very very alive and kicking. She's been mumbling and for the past two days ever since she regained consciousness from the dodgy sleeping pill. The swells on both of her legs and her hands are no longer there. We were surprised on how active she gets and even has the strength to move and push herself up, all by herself!

Bear in mind that her eyesight is almost zero and she is suffering from osteoporosis (weak and fragile bones). However, the specialist told us that the condition of her lungs and her heart are slowly deteriorating due to old age. There's no doubt about it that it will be tough for her within the coming months or years. Sad to see her like this, but that's what is life all about!

I wonder when she will be discharged from the hospital, just in time before the Chinese New Year celebrations? That I really don't know. But hang on and hang in there, I know it's not easy, but just remember the family are all here for you.

Things will get better, Popo. :)
