Pray with us :Lord, In Your Will is our peace!

By his blood and through the Holy Spirit, Christ offered his own self to the Father to purify us from the works of death.
Let us worship him in all sincerity:
– Lord, in your will is our peace.
Your goodness has given us the beginning of a new day:
  give us also the beginning of a new life.
– Lord, in your will is our peace.
You created everything and by your providence you keep it in being:
  may we discern your handiwork in every created thing.
– Lord, in your will is our peace.
With your blood you sealed the new and everlasting covenant:
  may we keep our side of the bargain by following your precepts.
– Lord, in your will is our peace.

Pete is out from Lumbar puncture

Pete is out from the procedure. He says Dr Ho is good and he barely felt any pain. He even used the smallest needle to lessen the discomfort. Pete is resting now, managed to eat a slice of bread with Milo.

Dr Ho wants to monitor him for about 4 hours and if Pete does not experience any headache, he will be discharged.
Dr Ho says the fluid looks clear so he does not think there is any infection. However the pressure in the brain is high so there is a blockage which means the excess fluid needs to be drained. He is reluctant to do any implant now because he wants to wait to confirm that there isn't any infection at all.

Once again, we would have to make decisions soon. We ask that you pray for us and with us to ask the Lord God Almighty to show us clearly what to do. We pray for complete trust in the Lord. He alone knows what is best. He alone is Lord over us!
Results will probably be out Tuesday.

Please continue to pray for Pete.

Please pray that results will be good

Dear prayer warriors
Pete did a MRI yesterday and results show that there is more fluid in the brain ventricles than previous scans. This could be due to blockage because of cancer cells, infection or a side effect of radiotherapy. Pete will have to go through a procedure, the lumbar puncture today, a day surgery procedure to draw out fluid for testing.

Please storm heaven once again to ask the Lord for mercy. Please pray that all will
be well. What ever hapens the Lord God Almighty is in control, He is in charge and may His will be done. We ask for strength, trust and hope in the God who created us and loves us He gave us His Son.

May the Lord cover Pete with His precious blood!

The procedure is 8.30am

Pete is vomitting again

Yesterday, Pete went to the office about noon. Since he had a late breakfast, he did not have his lunch. After his meeting and lots of visitors, he was probably tired and hungry but did not get a chance to eat. He vomitted in the office and has been in much pain since. Last night he was also vomitting several times, no dinner. Please pray for him. We are waiting to see Dr Kong at novena this morning.

Pete has been well, Praise the Lord!

Apologies for not updating.

Pete has been well these few days. Slowly but surely, he is getting better, eating a little more and is more alert. It is by the Grace of God that Pete is gaining strength, it is the strength of God that has covered him.

Yesterday, he made it to work for a few hours!! He sat on a wheel chair and was welcomed by his colleagues and bosses. I thank and praise God for his bosses who have been supportive of him all this time.

His energy level is also high and we even made it to Thomson Plaza for lunch after that. However, he experienced some pain so we can home fast. In the night we were able to take a stroll in the park and did some light exercise for the legs.

Today, we stayed home so as not to tax his body further but Pete was able to work from home. He is intending to go into office as he has a couple of meetings to attend.

We thank you for your continued prayers! Praise be to God for answering our prayers.
The night before, the Lord reminded me of His Word and I was consoled and reassured in Psalm 91

You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
2
Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust."
3
God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague,
4
Will shelter you with pinions, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield.
5
You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day,
6
Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.
7
Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come.
8
You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see.
9
You have the LORD for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold.
10
No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.
11
3 For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.
12
With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13
You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.
14
Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high.
15
All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor.
16
With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power.

Pete is better

Dear Prayer Warriors
thanks for your prayers again!
After the vomitting in the morning yesterday, no more pain and vomitting.
Pete slept much and had chicken essence for lunch. For dinner, he had macaroni with chicken soup. He managed to finish three quarters i
of a bowl, quite good considering he has not been eating well. Over dinner, we had the company of Eileen, Mike and Gillian.

Last night, we also had a visit from Fr T, Henry & Martha and Angie. It was good just catching up. Pete had a restful night last night.

Pete is well today.

Pete cannot make it for work today

Does not look like Pete can go.to the office today. He threw up again last night because we were trying to bring down the steroids to 0.5 mg in the evening dose, also had to take pain killers. This morning he was in pain and vomitted again. He is sleeping now, not much energy. Please pray for him.
