Talked to my daddy on the phone!

Posted by Dawn at Monday, September 19, 2005
Today, went to USA Hospital at night-the same hospital my dad was in when he was here... Went there because Pam, CT's colleague's husband was sent there for acid burns on his leg. He was carrying a container when it spilled on his leg.

Doctors said that if this kind of acid has 10% concentration on his body, all his internal organs would shut down and after doing a test on him, he had 8% concentration. So, it was a close call. So, we went to visit him with CT's colleagues and gave Pam a huggie. Pam is a wonderful lady who is so sincere and helpful...one who would always think of others more than herself. She had been a great help when my family met with the accident-helping with the adminstrative work, taking care of the rented car, police report etc..

Spent about an hour in hospital as I went up to the 8th level to see my dad's nurses..to just say hi and tell them update of my dad's condition. However, I went up and did not see anyone I know..When entering the hospital, my first comment was..."What a familiar smell.." as the hospital smell was so distinct when we first entered.

After the visit, we went home and watched our VCDs..then I called my dad as it was his birthday (according to Singapore time)- 20 Sept. Mum and I arranged a time for me to call her hp so that I can talk to dad and wish him happy birthday. So I called at 945pm, which was 1045am singapore time...

My dad sounded so good..It was really nice to hear his voice. It does sound weak but it was good and clear enough. It sounds as if he has a bad sore throat. My dad told me he misses me...

My aunt brought a birthday cake at the hospital. My aunt always celebrate her birthday tog with my dad as it is the same day..so, she took leave to celebrate with my dad. So sweet. I think my aunt seldom take leave as she seems to be working very hard all the time. So, I feel it is nice that my dad has company and some sort of birthday atmosphere to cheer him up.

My dad is rather bored in hospital as there is nothing for him to do..So he said, he will just pray to God. :)

CT also spent some time talking to my dad..After the phone call, we were happy but yet sad cos I cannot be there to celebrate with him..but happy cos he can talk and we can hear his voice finally..after not hearing for more than 3 months!

Just want to wish my dad a happy birthday and pray that he will continue to be strong and joyful in the Lord as God is with him. God promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us.So, there is so many things to give thanks for.. :)
Pray that whatever my dad prays to God, God will honor his prayers..
