Things have not been going too well for me....
On Saturday morning...just before I went work...my mum told be something...which I couldn't really comprehend for a while...
I have a 9 yr old niece...cute...adorable...good grades and everything...I usually see her a few times a year...b/days...new year etc etc...and I'm quite close to her family....I used to stay with her dad and grandparents back in the kampong
She started having dizzy spells back in December...the parents thought she was just feeling dizzy because she sleeps late at night and started to ask her to sleep early...all's well till last monday when she started to have problems with her eyes...she couldn't look to the left..
Her parents rushed her to the polyclinic and was immediately referred to NUH...A&E..
The Doctors there..after a series of tests and such...dianoised her as having a tumour...yup...brain cancer...they found a tumour of 4cm in diametre in the brain stem....
Having a tumour in the brain stem is impossible to operate on....it's right in the middle of the brain...the docs say that there are abt 4-5 cases of this hapening to young children each year...she's one of the unfortunate ones....many doctors have seen her...all with the same verdict...max...12 mths...
Doctors in KK even advised not treating her and prolonging her sufferings...should just bring her home...treat her nice and let her go...
The only options now is radio therapy....she cannot do chemothrapy because it's gonna damage a lot of cells...and the side effects are too adverse...so only radio therapy...she''ll inprove after abt 6 weeks...and she can be back to almost normal...then it'll worsen and there's nothing much for the docs to do already..
My cousin has to make a decision on whether the kid will go for radio....or some other treatment....suddenly everybody's talking of some miracle drug...or some procedures etc etc...I'm sure it'll cost a bomb and may not work very well for the kid....
Being active christians..my cousin also have been talking to the church people...and going for healing services etc...they went to lighthouse evangelism for a healing service last saturday...faith is strong in the family...
He told me....' children are a gift from God...if he wants them back..there must be a reason we cannot understand. We'll just have to learn to obey his will....'
IT's true...I agree with whatever he said...we must obey...for God himself saw his own son in suffering on the cross...and he'll understand what we are going through....
But we also believe in God being able to change things....no matter how bad the situation is...if God will it...the situation will change.
So...friends of my cousin and us...made a pact to pray for the kid and family...everyday at 1pm....
Friends, fellow hobbist in DH...whether you're a christian or not....I'm seeking your help in the above....
Everyday at 1pm...wherever you are...whatever you are doing...stop...give some thoughts to the bubbly little gal....turning 9 yrs old....still unaware that she's so sick...still unaware that the doctors have already given her a death sentence...pray for her...pray that God will be with her...cure her...and let her live....pray that if that's not God's will...he'll be with the family when it happens...that they'll take it with faith...and obedience...
I still cannot get over the fact that a little gal like that has been passed the death sentence....
I believe prayer helps...
I strongly encourage all those with kids to be nice to them....you'll never know....
Thanks for reading...and remember...1pm everyday...just a small prayer...and a thought for the gal and her family...
Thanks again...
