My dad had done an operation installing a PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube on his stomach as mentioned previously. Though my dad ate through mouth already but he has not been consuming enough. Well at least now the had already removed away the feeding tube as it irritates my dad and making him uncomfortable till he wants to pull it away everytime.

The operation took about 30 to 40 minutes from 8.30am. It’s faster than the operation installing the tracheostomy tube which took them 1 hour and 10 minutes for them to bring out my dad. Good thing about this tube is that all the food will be enter directly to the stomach.

On the 22^nd day I’ve asked for the bill and it cost RM52k++. The total bill now has exceeded more than RM75k together with the ward charges and also the PEG tube operation and it has exceeded the coverage given by the Prudential Insurance. Luckily my dad has another RM15k insurance call Lonpac, which they will be covering my dad’s bill soon and also with the help of his cousin (which is also his boss and also he’s carrying a Tan Sri title).

Hope my dad would have less problem after installing the PEG tube. My dad is still depending on the tracheostomy tube to breath. When we try closing the hole and let my dad speak, he breathed very hard and struggling. So it will take time for it to be removed.

Everytime when I drive slowly, I felt tired but when I speed, I’m alert. So what should I do? Speed all the way? Just kidding. My mom will nag and scold me when I drove over 80kmph. I’ll be going to hospital now. Thanks again for everyone’s concern and support. May God bless you all. Peace out.

First of all, I would like to send my deepest condolence to Vickie and her family. May God bless your grandma from above and your family.

My dad is doing great in his recovery progress. Nothing much to update as we will have to see if my dad able to eat. Yes, my dad could eat but it depends on who fed my dad. When nurses fed my dad, he did not eat much, only a few spoons. That is why the doctor wanted to install the PEG tube because she didn’t know that my dad could eat.

Yet again, my dad could finish the whole bowl of cereals (as in blended form). The operation is unnecessary. Doctor gave us 3 days to see how’s the progress and I guess my dad had survive the test. Thought it may take a long time to finish the whole bowl, but at least my dad is eating.

What I hate most is that when my relatives (not all, I’m mentioning a few) come and visit my dad, they started talking negative stuff and worst of all, they talked in front of my dad. Please, my dad is not deaf. Lying on the bed and not opening his eye doesn’t mean my dad can’t hear whatever we say. My dad already knows how bad is his condition now and why do you still need to add “salt and vinegar” to make it even worse. I really do not understand them. My dad has been suffering but he’s fine and he is not giving up.

I think your dad can’t make it…

When I heard this word from my aunt, I was so f**king pissed off by her. He is your brother for God sake. Luckily she never talked like that in front of my dad or else. Since then, she never came and visit my dad. We never yelled at her or what so ever.

I’ll be going back to hospital soon. Take care, God bless and peace out.

My dad started eating through mouth already but today he could finished up a bowl. That’s the best news for today and makes all of us happy too. On the first few weeks after installed the tracheostomy tube, my dad did not swallow anything even saliva. But now, my dad able to swallow but only if you tell him to. At least he’s able to eat through mouth. It’s my first time feeding anyone and when I got the chance to feed my dad, he ate all the cereals. I was so happy until I forgotten to pay for the parking meter and got myself a summon (which it was my first one).

Doctor have already told me that if my dad had not been eating through mouth and keeps pulling the feeding tube, they will need to install a PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube on the stomach. It’s actually good for my dad as they may remove the tracheostomy tube and also the feeding tube from the nose.

While the doctor was discussing with me and also telling me all the good things of having the tube install, my dad were there listening too. The first day when I asked my dad whether he agrees with the operation or not. He showed my no confidence at all and did not answer. I asked “if you agree with the operation, grab hold my hand”, but he didn’t. My mom told my dad to think for a day.

Today, I asked my dad again asking the same question like yesterday, he grabbed my hand lightly. The answer wasn’t confident enough for me to agree with the doctor. So I asked a few times and he grabbed my hand as well. We’ll see how as now my dad could eat through the mouth.

Physiologist brought my dad down to gym 3 to 4 times a week. They started giving my dad to do some cycling and walking. Walking may be a little hard for my dad, but my dad could cycle very well. Meaning the legs were both ok. I can see more progress from my dad. I can still remember what the doctor said to us on the first day my dad admitted to the hospital. The doctor said it’s a 50-50 chance of living. Ok, I don’t want to walk about it since my dad were fine now.

I just fetched my mom back home from hospital. Will be going back to hospital soon. From here again, I would like to say thanks to those who have been very supportive. Thought you may not know my dad’s name or how my dad looks, it’s ok, as long as you have the heart of helping. Thanks again, may God bless you all and peace out.

It’s the second year I celebrated with Yeevon. Same like last year, I did not make it a special one. We celebrated our Valentine’s Day at KLCC. Didn’t take many pictures that time but I really do enjoy that day.

Firstly we had our lunch at Chilis. We shared a plate of Flame-Grilled Ribeye. I seldom eat steaks or should I say, that day was my second time eating steak?

This is my cocktail for that day. Didn’t manage to capture her cocktail. Maybe she thought it isn’t special as it’s just a frozen Margarita.

After our lunch we headed to Haagen-Dazs for our chocolate steamboat. It’s my first time having such a nice dessert and also my first time eating at Haagen-Dazs.

Told my dad that last Thursday was Valentine’s Day. My dad looked a little shocked and then turned his head facing my mom and smiled at my mom. I’m so happy that I could see my dad smile. A little sad as well because usually my dad would bring my mom to some fancy restaurant celebrating Valentine’s Day. That’s all for now, peace out.

My dad has been staying in the hospital for a month (and 2 days) already. My dad is recovering day by day thought sometimes doctors may give us some minor problems like unable to remove tubes. But still, I can see that my dad is strong and did not give up his life just like that. Nurses said that my dad never fights back or disobey orders.

Physiotherapist has been training my dad to walk. He may gets tired very fast but at least he tried and not just lying on the bed. My dad tried talking a little. I could hear a very soft voice coming out from my dad’s mouth when I close the tracheostomy tube.

My dad loves porridge but he doesn’t like eating hospital’s porridge. Only eat a couple of spoons. So my mom decided to cook for my dad. One thing for sure is that the porridge must be blended. And also, they are giving cereal drinks too.

Ok, this is the only time I have, still have not receive my Valentine’s Day photos yet as I’m busy. God bless and peace out.
