Suffering

Dearest Nicholas,
Of late, mommy and daddy has been spending a lot more time with you in CICU and HD. The word "suffering" has been flashing across mommy's mind these days, especially when I see how much you are suffering during suctioning and the pain of having the trac-key stuck in your throat. It pains mommy so much whenever I see tears rolling down your eyes during suctioning and whenever you gag when we suction your trac-key.

I searched on the internet to get a deeper understanding on suffering and this is what I found:

Darling Nicholas, at this moment, I wish that if God wants to teach mommy something, it is not through your suffering ....

Goodbye SGH

Dearest Nicholas,

21-Jan-2010 marks a new beginning for us because you are saying goodbye to all the nurses and doctors in SGH and transfering to KKH. After being in SGH for what felt like forever (between end of Nov 09 to end Jan 2010), we have unknowingly developed a special kind of feelings for the hospital and the people who has walked this path with us.

The team from KKH arrived just after 9am and mommy was at the hospital by 830am to pack up for you. Nurse Fazilah was there to care for you and she was the one who handed over the report to the KKH nurses. As the team from KKH started to prepare the move, the nurses and doctors from SGH bade a final goodbye to us and mommy started to feel very sad that we will be leaving this familiar place, probably forever. Mommy's wish at this point in time is that the move to KKH will be a brand new positive beginning for my little Nicholas.

Nicholas, as we begin this new journey together, know that God is with us and that our whole family and friends are behind us all the way.
