Oh, What a week!

Last Saturday, I got a distress call from Pheng; her mum was admitted to the ICU for severe infection of the lungs. We know Pheng's mum has a history of lung problems but this time the infections were so bad that she had difficulty breathing. Cheng and I rushed back to KL to see her. All of us were very upset to see her struggling to breathe with a big mask on and later tubes. She had to be sedated to calm her down. By Monday morning, she looked better although she still needs the tubes to help her breathe. With her condition improving, I headed back to Singapore and kept in touch with Pheng on a daily basis. As I write, I was told that she's more alert and may be able to breathe on her own without the tubes. We're all so happy and relieved to hear that!!
