Jo's mom update IX.1

Just a mini update about Jo's mom. Currently, her spirits are up, she can utter some sounds and she's eating a bit more. Think she had coffee a few days ago! :-)

She will have to stay in SGH for the next 3 weeks+ for intensive rehab, very xiong. After that she'll have to go for day rehab for a couple of months. We are confirmed leaving for Paris on 26th Jan, not staying for CNY. Likely, we have to pop back to Singapore in May. And I might a small project back here at that time.

PS: here's something that Jo sent out a few days ago:

"One night, while chilling out at 1plus am with my siblings (the only time of the day when we are not running around like mad monkeys!), they were recounting to me how everything was so "ordained" for mom. You see, she started to bleed on a Sunday morning when everyone at home was around. Normally on a regular day, it would just have been her and the 2 nephews (age 1 and 3) at home. So she was rushed to the hospital by everyone at home that morning. And later, they were told there are only 4 neurosurgeons in Singapore who can do this operation. And they only shuttle between 2 hospitals, SGH and TTSH. Thank God we live near SGH! And one of them, the one who operated on my mom, happened to be on call that morning at SGH! Even he told us later that one of the reasons my mom could have survived with 3 bleeds when some people die from just 1 is also coz she was attended to and operated on quickly. Praise God for all of this!"
