Human often has the tendency to neglect the people around them. It is only till he/she loses a relative/friend, he/she will only started to treasure.
I recieved a surprise call from my dad this evening. I couldnt believemy ears that my grandpa is on the brink of death. No! This can't be happen!
" Your grandpa now is in the dangerous state. You'd better come and visit him." I was taken aback.
How does this happen?" I questioned myself.
My grandpa is admitted to Singapore General Hospital located at Block 6, level 4, Ward 64 and Room 10. The ambulance fetched him there in the morning around 8.45am.
In the MRT, I prayed silently to the god. "Please blessed my ah gong to survive through the dangerous state. Please blessed him with good health."
My brain is blank. I am really helpless.
This is what I heard from the doctor: Kins of Mr. Ong's must have mental preparation. Your kin might leave anytime..
He relies on machines to survive. He has a serious breathing difficulty. He struggled and gasped for air each time he breathe. When he is sleeping, deep breath can be heard. On every 5 minutes he will coughed a little and squint his eyes. Seeing the pity state he's in, I feel really heartpain. My eyes were wet. I wept off my tears and cried silently in my heart..
He has a serious chest infection. He can't have any cold drinks because his lungs are easily infected by germs. I really feel sympathy for him. He wants to drink chill water. His chest is burning from the effect of acid the doctor prescribed. The problem is that his lungs are 90 percent destroyed. If he were to drink cold water his condition will get worse. But you see, we won't want his condition to get more serious. On the other hand, we feel it's like a kind of torture not to fulfil what he wants. It's kind of cruel not to grant an old man's little wish. We have no control but also have to do the most sensible choice.
There's another question on the sudden admission to the hospital on his chest infection. He had taken the wrong injection. Uncle Jimmy had bought the wrong needle. The infection only started today morning. Yesterday he was still all right. The moment when morning arrived, his face were speckled with red patches. His eyes are hidden under the swollen's as a result from the lack of oxygen..
His behaviour also got more weird recently. He suddenly wants a smoke. He had quitted smoking ages ago though. Is that a symptom of death? (Touch wood!)
He had also complaint that someone(not existed) push him when he was trying to sit up. There's not a "somebody" there! We can't see it. Or maybe this is the symptom of death?(Touch wood!) Only when a person who is dying has the ability to see "things". I don't know whether if it's true but hearsay that the ghost catcher will catch the person who is dying. The person will know when will he dies.
You know.. It's a kind of you-know-that-what's-gonna-happen-next. We can't be sure about that. It's a question mark whether he'll make it to tomorrow morning.
I couldn't sleep. Those questions are dancing around my mind. The results will only be out tomorrow.. We can only hope for the better.
God, please dont take my ah gong away! Please blessed him with good health.. He will definitely survive and get well!
