Machines & Tubes

Samuel has been discharged again from hospital at 3 March 2009.Currently Sam still stay in Singapore while weaning from all machines we rent.FYI, JC Foundation, in Singapore by their generousity help us paying the rental fee of those machines until 13 May 2009. We pray Sam will be off those machines before the date.
 
Currently Sam is practising to breath with Oxigen ( without BIPAP ) for 1 hour a day. We plan to slowly increase the practising time until he may breath comfortably without BIPAP for the whole day.The weaning process itself will need Sam to be staying in hospital again  but we would pray and practising first until Sam is ready.As Sam is using BIPAP, Oxigen concentrator, humidifier, feeding machine and suction machine, we realize that there is still a journey to go for little Sam but we believe that this time the journey would not be so difficult. Our friend said, like riding a roller coaster, we do hope that there will be no more sliding down.

On 11 & 16 March, accidently Sam pulled out his feeding tube. A big smile on his face ! He looked so relieve and happy.Unfortunately for Sam , we need to put back the tube in hospital.Now we put mitten on his hands as he keep trying to pull out the tube.
