Doctor has called us

This morning the doctor checked Pete and asked that we be with Pete. His eyes are dilated, they have taken off the drip and now given a slow dispensing medication to control the phlegm. His heart however is pumping very well and pulse is very strong. Please pray for Pete to return peacefully to the Lord. Thank you for your prayers and love for Pete and us, his family. Thank you for journeying with us and for being our saints and angels in our time of testing.

No change in Pete's condition

Pete is still not able to swallow, the nurses have instructed us not to feed him lest he chokes. His fever is still there.
When there is no fever, he looks very comfortable and peaceful. He is not under any pain killers and not in pain. I thank God for taking the pain away.
I want to thank and praise Almighty God for the Gift of Pete to us. He had been a doting father, a loving and supportive husband, a loyal and caring friend, a true and faithful servant of the Lord. He gave his all and his best even when he was coughing and breathless, bravely taking on the role of prayer warrior to pray for others when he was home bound, the
list goes on. I am so proud of my husband!

Pete is still drowsy

In the last 2 days, Pete has been awake only for short periods, about 10-15 minutes and we try to feed him as much liquids as we can. However, his swallowing muscles seem to be getting weaker and he chokes often on the liquids even when we make it thick.

This morning, I was not too successful in feeding him and I pray that he will be more awake later on.

We have been so busy with Pete that we have almost forgotten that
we will be celebrating the Gift of Christ to us at Christmas.

We wish everyone the Peace and Joy of the Child Jesus. May we always treasure this Gift and be Jesus to the people God had put in our paths.

Pete started to drink and swallow again!

Dear Prayer Warriors
Thank you for storming heaven with your prayers. God had heard our prayers and Pete started to drink and was able to swallow honey water and Milo. Praise the Lord! He started last night and this morning I was able to give him about 30 ml of beverage. We continued this eith honey throughout the day. We don't want to overload him and are cautious not to choke him. He is able to open wide both eyes and friends from CPS came to pray over him.
Special thanks to Br Jude for coming to pray with us too. Alicia & Kar Seng, thank you for journeying with me. Ann & Andrew for coming by and for asking the Carmelite Sisters to pray for Pete.

We are very encouraged by your support and love for Pete and the Family. Your prayers give us strength and peace. Thank you Holy Spirit Cancer Support group; especially Vivien & Ronnie, Joseph & Ivy, Adrian & Kelly and Sr Angeline.

God bless all of you. Please continue to pray for us.

Pete is getting weaker

Dear Prayer Warriors
please pray for Pete, this morning, we were not able to wake him up for breakfast. He is very weak. Still waiting for him to wake up for food.
Last night he was able to eat well and nodded when Nicole, our daughter showed him the present she had bought for him. She also had a musical Christmas card for him, he must have been pleased.

Pete is stable

Dear friends
Pete developed a fever and has been put on antibiotics.

He has been eating less, swallowing muscles not too good now. His diet is pureed food, water has to be thickened so he does not choke.
He doesn't have much energy and finds it hard to stay awake.

Today, he kept awake for his friends and boss from Dell but soon grew tired.

Nurses and Doctors here keep him comfortable and I am grateful to them.
We continue to trust in God knowing that He will take care of Pete and the family. We thank you for your prayers, love and support. We want to record our thanks to Alicia and Kar Seng who constantly provide me with medical advice and support.

We thank the visitors who came tonight, sorry we missed you,Randal and Kelly,Pat and Rebecca. We had come home early since Pete sleeps a lot earlier these days.
