prayer request for class A for 3rd chemo

Thank God for sister Wee Yee and sister Letitia (Samuel's godmother)
to take turns on/off to accompany me during 3rd chemo next week.
Letitia will also send us home upon discharge.

16 Aug - 19 Aug Third chemo
16 Aug - 23 Aug Derrick will be in Australia (tentatively 8 days);
he flies off late evening on 16 Aug.

Prayer request
----------------

Due to upgrading renovation, cancer ward 75 (children's block) has shifted to
ward 61 (women block). Time frame tentatively 4-6 months.
Resulted in only 2 A class rooms in ward 61.

Although we may have booked A class for 3rd chemo,
other more life-threatening cases will be given priority.

If unavailable, will be given 2 choices :

(a) Class A in other NON-cancer wards

- Nurses are not enco-trained nurses,
so may not be as experienced as ward 61 nurses.

Encologist encourage us to downgrade to B class
if necessary and shift back to A class upon availability.

OR

(b) Stay put in B class(4 beds in 1 room) of ward 61

- only 1 parent can stay overnite;
- sam's needs may not be met
(he banned food in ward previously as it makes him very nasal,
need the quietness to sleep through 'vomit' periods when specific
chemo drug is administered usually 8-10 pm);
- shared facilities => more germs? lack of privacy ?

We really need God's blessing to secure A class in ward 61,
and guidance to choose what is best for Samuel.

Covet your prayer support in this matter specifically peace of mind
for me(Claire) to rest in the faithfulness of GOD to see us through

3rd chemo with the above changes.
