The same nurse (I found out her name is nurse Lee) gave me brownies and cupcakes the night before. too touched. While all the other nurses were good too, this one is particularly friendly.
Mum have been seeing quite a few visitors for the past week. 2nd uncle, and wife, and son, and yishun auntie. The son is a doctor, and is particularly helpful in providing some tips for her care, and even helping to feed her. Same goes for the yishun auntie.
Today mum was allowed to come home on home leave. I think she was feeling particularly happy about that and ate quite alot during lunch. (half a bowl of porridge).
Taxi-ed home. and she vomited just as we were reaching. Thanks to the taxi uncle/young man who provided plastic bag and tissue! and waited patiently for us.
And she vomited again just now. okay no more food for her till dinner.
This blog has sort of turned into a diary about my mum. An outlet for me to document her struggles with cancer. Oh reminds me, I haven contact my other friend who is undergoing chemotherapy as well.
YRS resuming later!

Woah the nurses here are particularly good! They take care of the caregivers too! When I requested a cup of Milo for my mum, the nurse insisted on makin me one too ... And returned with two cups.
My mum wanted to go back home this weekend! To stay one night. Hopefully the doc approve. She seems slightly better. Still have to talk to my dad too.
Final finals tmr! Back to YRS on fri! Doing the session this fri. Hope it be good.

Mum ate more usual at dinner and didn't vomit today! Taken off the vomit drip and now able to take the vomit pills orally (though that means she has 2 more pills to eat...)
And dad still cannot remove the stitches from his operation. Been to hospital 2 times already.
Kinda screwed up 2 finals on sat. Bad week ended badly.

She takes even less food today. A few mouthfuls of porridge and she doesn't want already, even though I can hear her stomach growling sometimes.
Milo seems to make her vomit. So she's allowed only abit each time.
Although she doesn't make a fuss now about going home (think she would not have the energy to do so), but she mentions it now and then. Dilemma dilemma... The nurses here are really great and providing great care though.

Mum wasn't comfortable in the electric air bed last night and so made quite a scene.
Today she seems better, with a new bed and a room much closer to the nurse station. Sleeping now. But heard that she vomited quite a bit today despite the vomit drug given to her via a drip.
But at least her mood seems better! Made quite a few nurses friends already.. The nurses here are also quite friendly and good! Salute to them once again!
