Whisper a little prayer...​

One reason why I am so tied up is because I have been running frequently to KK Hospital. Not a very fortunate way to spend the festive season but it is definitely very rewarding. The little girl in the picture is Mel, one half of a twin. Her beloved sister Jess, had just gone through her 4th heart operation and is in extreme critical condition since November. She has been in ICU since then. There's nothing much doc could do. Her organs are not working on its own and she is down with lung infection and fungal infection and she is not responding to any antibiotics. We know God has His plans and timing. Life is precarious and the thought that we could even wake up everyday is just so amazing.

I'm sorry to hear that, hope she gets better soon..

Great pic nonetheless..
 

Thanks for sharing the lovely picture and the story behind. Hope Mel can be so cheerful for her sister always too, this reminds me of the movie "My Sister's Keeper"...:cry:
 

Welcome back to APAD dingzyangz...!!

Sad to hear that.....:cry:

I totally understand the feeling like...
As my kid was admitted in the hospital for 2 weeks and we spend our X'mas eve in the hospital and after that we felt so lonely at home without him at home as we can't stay over night with him.

Let's pray for her....:angel:

thanks guys. very encouraging. i regret that i have no pics of her sister... :cry: just went down to hospital last night and doc say that there is no improvement. But no improvement is better than deteriorating.

Thanks again guys! :)

Rather than leave her alone loitering in the hospital and watching her mum running in and out of ICU. I decided to bring her out... at least I hope this will help her. It must have been tough watching your twin suffering yet you can't visit her because children below 12 are not allowed in ICU. :( Day by day, little Mel is maturing in an accelerated pace. And to overcome all these trials on their family, I guess this is the best that she can do. She is a very sensible kid although at an age of 9.

sad to hear about jess.

well, in the end, things will always work out. one way or another.

p.s. welcome back to apad bro :)
 

Pretty emotional series...wanted to drop a msg but cant find the right word..

Am assure that heavenly Father will have his way for little Jess!
 

dear all, thank you so much so much for your care and concern and most imptly, ur mighty prayers. :)
apologies if it was disturbing to start of the year with gloomy stuff. but that is life, not everyone has the luxury to lead life like we have.

went down to KK last night and things hasn't picked up yet. same old advice by doc... "keep praying." it was really a humbling experience for me. just a wk ago, little jess was really on the brink. her organs were not functioning and she has more than 20 machines on her to support her. what made things worse was that her veins were "clogged" and the dialysis machine couldnt function fully. and if doesnt function fully, she might just go... doc decided to operate on her to widen her artery to allow better blood flow. it was a tough call. doc told her mum that "she might not make it out of the op theatre...". Thankfully, God has his plan. Doc didnt proceed with the op because in the theatre, they found out that it wasn't blocked at all, it was just not flowing fast enough. I wonder what would have happened if they had operated on her. And now I wonder what does God has for this little soul... will she leave? But His way are beyond our understanding and it is always good. :) right now... she's still hanging there...

How blessed are we to be even able to wake up everyday! :)

Oh ya... I don't know why I am sharing... just felt like sharing.

Thanks guys. Turn around... look at those around you. Do good unto him/her and treasure him/her... no one know what will happen the next moment. :) As much as we try to be good to all, we can't achieve the same standard across for everyone. Haha. There's no way to distribute love equally among everyone. LOL. we will definitely feel closer to some and futher from some. and that's life... we are all imperfect. :)

If given a chance... I hope to be able to capture some pics of little jess...
 

As a parent with a son that has been in and out of hospital as well, I have some idea of how you are feeling.

Having said that, I don't dare to presume to understand what you and your family are going through.

All I can say is you cannot afford to break down now, be it emotionally or physically, please take care.
 

I hope ur son is better now. :) he will grow up to be a strong willed person. :) apologies if my post were misleading. sorry. but Jess n family are close friends of mine. so sorry... it's just tat I felt pretty affected and this felt like sharing wat happened.

I hope everything turns out well. Photography is more than a hobby or profession. It is about telling stories of the human spirit, courage, wonders, beauty. Hence what you wrote is perfectly acceptable, in my humble opinion.

Your story is very touching and I feel very sad reading it. I sincerely hope that everything turns out well.
