a bad start

The coming of the month of January is not a good new year opener for me. On 30 Dec 2008 my mom was admitted to the Kapit Hospital until 4th January and then she was transferred to the Sibu Hospital where she was further admitted until 15 January. She was down with a bladder infection, and being 78 years old, her immunity was low and so was her response to medication according to her doctor. Then On 12 Jan when i was still in Sibu, my wife rang me up and told me that her father got a stroke and was admitted to the SGH for 2 nites. So off i went to the Sibu airport and took the next flight back to Kuching as my wife was alone with her parents. Luckily it was a mild stroke, but he lost some brain cell according to the specialist doctor who treated him and worst still, the episode could recur anytime. So this is the predicament that my family went through for the last 2 weeks and Chinese New Year is just a week away. Apparently we are not in the mood to celebrate this time around due to such circumstances. Hopefully, my mom would fully recover soon and my father- in- law would not get another episode of the stroke. May God Bless Them.
