Update - 28 Sep

Dear friends, I thank you for your prayers for Lizzie. I know you prayed becos Lizzie is much better this morning. Thank you!! With additional O2 thru' the ventilator (40%), Lizzie's O2 level was in the 80s when I visited her this morning. The surgical team came by and said that they will try to remove the ventilator this morning. It's about time, cos Lizzie's been making suckling noises(asking for pacifier or, better, milk bottle!!). Elaine and I thank God that despite not acceding to our request for no surgery, He made this surgery count. Lizzie is pink as a lobster and quite alert now. She was about to look at mummy, daddy and visitors. She opened her eyes and look when I called her name. Before I left NUH this morning, the docs came in and switched the ventilator to unassisted mode. Lizzie is breathing on her own!!! They also reduced the O2 to 30%. Although her O2 level dropped to 70, the docs are confident that she will be about to manage it on her own. Lizzie's finally getting her pacifier. We are praying that she will be discharged from Paediatric ICU this weekend to a normal ward. We will update you again. Thanks for your prayers.
God bless, Simon
