Dad sms'ed me last Thursday, asking me about the happenings here and to update me on what's happening back home. Apart from going back to the longhouse for the annual 'ngabas pendam', dad also informed me about Mum's health.
She went for her check up at the Sibu Hospital and they told her that she will be admitted into the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) on 18th April. Mum's got problem with her heart (doctors told her that her heart is enlarged due to weak heart problems) because the blood vessels are too congested and she needs a procedure to be done.
This shocks me that my gastritis came last night. My gastritis problem is largely due to extreme stress and last night was quite bad.
I'm worrying about Mum's condition although Dad told me not to worry too much since my final exam is due next week. How can I NOT worry? It's my parents' health, for sure any person would feel stressed.
So, I guess I'll be spending my one week holiday to be in Kuching to help Dad take care of Mum. Dad's not so familiar with driving in Kuching, so I'll be the driver... Thinking of extending my one week holiday but I know Dad'll disagree with me. Hmmm...
Do pray for my Mum's recovery and that the Lord may give us strength to deal with this.
