We are praying there will be no need for an emergency cardiac bypass machine to be used, as that will require a drug called Hepparin and due to Gabe's bloody stool previously, it could cause uncontrollable bleeding. The surgery will start about 9am and take about 3-4 hours. Thereafter Gabe will stay in the PICU for the next 4-5 days and if all is well he can be transferred to the General Ward and then be released to go home in about 1-1.5 weeks.
Of course like the op before there are risks but we're praying no complications. Please let it be a smaooth op. We're feeling nervous of course. It's a case of De Ja Vu all over again. Previously i remember being a total wreck when his operation went way beyond the supposedly 4-5 hours time mark and took 8 long hours instead...i'm hoping this round it's a 3-4 hours good op.
I did manage to take a few pics of him in the PICU today...pls continue your prayers for GAbe and i'll update once again after his op...
Er yi loves u so so much gabe, so does your kor kor Wayne n uncle Hk. Please please please be strong gabe! We will be praying for u. We know u can do it, our precious gabe!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all have grown to love Gabe so very much. Grandpa really miss the ready smile and joy on Gabe's face when we talk or sing to him. We are all praying for you Gabe. Be strong and hang in there. God willing you will come out of this healthier and stronger. We will all see you on your first Birthday either in Singapore or Japan.
ReplyDeleteBe assured, Michelle and Terry, that we are all joining you both in earnest prayers for Gabe. Place your faith and trust in God. We shall overcome with God's help.
