A quick update on my niece situation. She was discharged from the hospital on 28 May 2012. Everyone in the family is so grateful and thankful. She’s in good condition.
Just that she has really slimmed down a lot. She used to be in big size. She loses more than 10kg within 1.5 months. Now, she is very slim and looks energetic. I think she looks like a different her (in a positive way).
She still needs to perform her CAPD 4 times daily. She can do it herself but her mum still help and monitor her during the CAPD. She said bath time was hard as she needs to ensure that the exit site is protected. She said she’s still learning.
Besides, twice a week, she’ll need to have injections at the hospital. Those injections are for additional minerals for her body. In terms of food, she has quite a strict diet. But, the nutritionist said it’s still early.
As time goes by, the diet might change from time to time, depending on body condition.
In the second week of June, she started to go to work at a local supermarket. She said she cannot stay at home for 24 hours and doing nothing. She comes back home during lunch hour for her CAPD session. Definitely not an easy thing. But I know she’s a strong girl.
We all still hoping for her to lead a normal life. We hope and we pray for her. And I am really thankful to God for I am still able to see my niece and she still can go on with her life though there are some changes.
Thank You, my Lord…
