Cai mummy's slow & steady recovery in October

cai mummy was transferred to Bright Vision Community Hospital on 25 September where she will stay for the next one more or so before the maid arrives and gets trained to look after her well... 

she was very happy with the family photo which i had printed for her... and i am very happy that she can indeed recognise us from the photo... =) 



2 October
 she started on soft food ... yeah... 
this was the menu for dinner



3 October
brought her to KTPH for her CT scan


looking at discount while waiting for her turn.... wahahaha 


realised that she didnt have any shoes or slippers at Bright Vision Hospital to wear to ktph so put on my cookie monster socks for her when she got cold.... 

surprise of the day: Mummy started conversing in English...  her vocab include "today, tomorrow, i want you, dont have la"... a good start although she couldnt complete her sentences due to limited vocab.... jiayou mummy....  



5 October

look how happy she was with her dinner... =D 



7 October
 her first complete sentence since her stroke... short & sweet.... mummy said she likes me.... happiness.... 


9 October
made a trip to TTSH just because doc wants to use their eyes to 'LOOK AT' mum before they hold the discussion next week to access if she's still suitable to go for her op... the whole 'looking at' and explaining today's visit lasted less than 10 minutes... 

seriously??? cant they ask for an update from Bright Vision Community Hospital who is monitoring mum and doing rehab and physio with mum every day?!?!?! 

we were told to make another trip to TTSH after their discussion next week for another consultation... each trip cost us $60 ambulance charges and $30 hospital consultation fee.... i seriously think that today's trip is not necessary... =S 

my hatchday meal with mummy @ TTSH umi sushi before her appointment 

happy mummy with her chawanmushi


11 October
she chomped down the banana... i had to stop her and insist that she swallow those in her mouth first before she can take another bite... =S  

she was very happy to enjoy a quarter cup of honey green tea from koi (no toppings) too ... =P 





found this book in my stash of teaching resources used long long ago and brought it for cai mummy.... 


was happy that she was very interested in the book....  practice some of the common words with it and hope that the many pictures can help her to express herself better ... 


13 October
Celebrated mine and Eng Siew's hatchday  

this will always be the case when there's no smoker among us.... not complaining... heee 


14 October
witnessed how cai mummy really 很努力 during her daily physio exercise 

checked out FB marketplace for a stationary bike with a seat rest and was super happy to see this pedalling exerciser at a much lower price of $33 with delivery... hopefully it's as good as it claimed to be... 


15 October
Off went the feeding tube... Yeah!!! 


17 October
Someone visited cai mummy and tied her hair
so cute!... 


18 October
