After the x-ray results were out on Mon, mom went home for lunch before being warded at Tan Tock Seng Hospital for Tuberculosis. She did further tests and received anti-biotic on drip.
Sis-in-law boiled soup everyday with the packs I bought from a Chinese traditional medicine shop, and my brother will bring it to mom. Thank goodness for both of them, otherwise I will be very bothered if the hospital food would be suitable for her or to her liking.
I spoke with her and she was in a B ward, meaning two beds in a room. But she had the room all to herself and she said she felt that she was on holiday. Haha, holiday coz no need to cook for the family and take care of dad! But there was no TV. Mom said she treated her stay as one to recuperate, so she slept as much as she could.
Today, when bro was going to bring mom her lunch, the nurse called him to say that she could be discharged! Praise God! Doc said that mom made progress and could recover at home. They waited at the TB Centre to see a specialist for the final clearance to discharge. Happy to say that mom put on 1.6kg these 5 days..so now she weighs 34.6kg. A long way to go to her usual 42kg. But I know that my bro and sis-in-law will take good care of her.
Thanks everyone for your concern and prayers!
