4:23 PM

Much has happened this two days where I cant get a com to type. First issue is that we signed the form allowing the doctors to use the med, Tigecycline on dad.
On Friday I went to AH wif my mom to a family conference concerning the med, although I have choir practice in the morn.
Eric gan said that the drug is so new that only 1624 ppl in the whole world have used the med before, and some of this ppl died, but not because of the medicine, but because their infections were too serious to be cured by the antibiotic. There are so many side effects, ranging from nausea and vomtting as common syptoms to blood clotting and rises in the enzymes level in the liver as very uncommon and death as very very uncommon.. the doctor also said that as this is a very new drug, dad's usage of this drug will be considered an experimental trial, and his responses to it taken. So I was thinking, if things fail, dad will just become another failed clinical trial.. another score on a piece of paper..so sometimes i feel a bit.... I dunno wat to think,i dun dare to think, cuz it may come tru?

There are pros to the medicine being new, as the antibiotic is so new that it has not been exposed to any bacterial strains thus the viruses would not have a chance to build up resistance against it, hence it would definitely be more efficient against the bacteria.

The doctor stated that the drug may not be that efficient...that means that they could not gurantee the success rate of the med, as they state " it is not inferior to other antibiotics" , so dad may not be getting any better at al...and this is the last hope, as dad has gotten considerably worse after the operation.
But its better to change, the doctor had said, as my dad is currently on 4 kinds of antibiotics, and at least 3 kinds of antibiotics are harmful to the kidneys, which is not functioning now due to the inflammation situation internally. Thus the new drug will stop the damage of the kidneys further. They started my dad on the med today, as we signed the agreement yesterday and the med was flown in from UK today.
I just hope that it ould be as efficient as the doc has estimated, hoping that a miracle will kind of happen. I heard of stories of God healing people, some how, this is all supposed to be God's plan....hard to believe, I guess God must have a reason....
I’m just worried abt the side effects and the efficiency of the drug.

After that conference,I got hustled into the conference room with my mom for a silly meeting with the medical social worker. Her name was ms Jenny Goh. I disliked her, initially she was supposed to discuss fianacial problems with my mom, but she ended up "poking and prying" into my relationships with my dad and all..and I kinda lost my cool, I asked her to shut up and said that "she was an outsider and that she have no right to ask me personal stuff like tt, and I have a right not to ans her..." I mean, I just feel so pissed off, her an outsider, trying to worm her way into my life, our lives, its like dis family is breaking up so quickly. Never mind...i guess its bad in a way, the social worker had a look on her face, that signifies that "uh oh" xpression, like I’m some problem kid...she really freaks me out tho....so I’m praying to God, hope that he can help me sort out my feelings.

Now I’m at yujay’s house, at my p6 gathering, it was really a bit dull actually at first, until Ezra came. And it got really noisy...haha, a lil diversion in my life from all those problems.i thanks God I have such good friends like him and kaiteng and yansin, they really were a support to me. Now its year 2006, 12.18am, I’m a year older, more responsibility, time to grow out of my sheltered life.

Hope

Love
p.s , I shall make a point to abide by my new year resolution. Hope dad can become well, I believe God will not give my dad things that are beyond his strength. So, I just have to trust in him ba...

Happy new year to all, new year signifies a fresh start, a chance to settle grudges wif ur enemies, a time to grow up
Good luck and stay happy, trust and praise the Lord for he will never forsake us!
