My mom's follow up eye surgery in Dallas...
My mom had her follow up eye surgery this morning in Dallas to remove the silicone oil that was put in her eye during her surgery in late April in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The following are excerpts of emails and notes from my sister Miki in Dallas, TX to the family...

7:42AM: (LA time)
Dear all,
we arrived the Presbyterian hospital in Dallas this morning at 6:05am. Admitted mom, and she was resting in the room, Took some anti nausea medication. Started IV on her and she was resting comfortably in bed. She took a good nap since she didn't sleep well last night. I also had only 4 hours of sleep last night.
It's 9:40am now. They wheeled her into the operation 20 minutes ago to remove the silicone oil that was put in during her previous operation back on 4/28, please keep her in your prayers. Should be done before 10:30pm, and they will take her back into this room for recovery. After resting for another hour, she should be good to go. i will drive her back home and be back to work this afternoon.
She needs to come back tomorrow at 9am for follow up. Ricky will take her tomorrow. The doctor said she should be able to see clearly in 7-10 days.
Will keep you updated later. ........ _________________________________________________________
8:26AM:
She got back to the recovery room a few minutes ago, everything looks fine. She didn't complain any pain at all, nothing like last time, just a bit dizzy. I guess it's the medicine/sedation that she was given.
Doctor just came and said that everything went fine. She should be out of here in an hour or whenever she feels comfortable. Mom was given some food to eat since the last time she had food was 6pm and drinks at 9pm last time. She is eating some cookies and drinking cranberry juice now. kind of happy that everything is over, she even offered me the blueberries muffin since it's too sweet for her. Yeah, it's too sweet for me too.
Alright then, thanks for the prayers, and thank God for His protection.

Getting her ready to be check out now. Chat later.

2:45PM:
Mom went home, threw out the crackers that she ate. Might be because she swallowed them too quickly in the first place or because of the reaction from the operation which is normal.
She felt some pain around 3pm since the numbness was gone so i asked her to take some advil first before i go and get the pain killer for her after work.
She had lunch at 1:10pm and ate normal...

3:38PM:
She is feeling minor pain on and off, i need to get off work soon so that i can order some pain killer for her to take.
Shalom,
Miki

I called her at around 7:00PM tonight and she is doing very well and she is actually very high spirited.... I guess may be it is because most of her kids had called her and even her granddaughter Amanda called her .... :)
Again, Thank you all for you prayers....

The Lord is Good and Merciful
Email from my sister...
The Lord is good and merciful! The surgery was successful but painful according to mom. She had shown great pain after she got out to the regular ward to rest.
We got to the Hospital this afternoon at 1pm and we waited, and waited, and waited, and finally at 6:40pm, they finally came to fetch mom and got her ready to be operated. The surgery takes around 1 1/2 hours and they brought mom back to rest at the ward for a couple of more hours. The doctor finally came around 11:30pm and checked on her. She shows us how to change the pad and demonstrate the use of all kinds of drops, and told us the different kinds of medicine. We left the hospital and came back to the hotel around 12:30am. I cooked her some noodles to eat earlier and she went back to sleep again since she took some sleeping pills earlier. It's 1:46 AM now, and i need to start packing before taking shower. Need to wait up at 5am this morning.
The doctor was kind enough to write a letter to MAS for and request for comfortable seating for the patient who just had an operation..........
I went to Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station MAS office to have them fix my problem with my air ticket too. Thank God that i am able to fly home tomorrow.

My mom in Cambodia
After celebrating her 70th birthday in Sibu, Malaysia, my mom and my "little" brother and my "little" sister have moved on to spend a few exotic days in Cambodia....
"We went to Angkor Wat today, we had two coconut today since the weather is so hot. we sweat like crazy, cups of sweats. Mom is so tired today that she said that she can't walk anymore. After drinking the coconut milk, she is back to life again, and then we brought her to the 90 minutes oil massage and she is feeling much better now.It's much better today, may be it's the oil that made them press harder.
The picture below is where my mom was eating the sticky rice cooked in the bamboo, she was so hungry yesterday that she doesn't care that she was eating food from the Hawker store.... " - Quote from Mee Kee
