Beyond the Scans

Hi,

I’m back with an update. We are officially on day three of this 'waiting game', and honestly, I’ve surprised myself with how much I can handle.

From never visiting Penang GH to feeling like a local resident. The 'waiting game' life is real.

For the record, my dad is currently fighting a brain bleed. It’s a very uncertain situation. To put it simply: his CT scans show the bleeding has reached a very sensitive area (the fourth ventricle), which usually means bad news. But here is the miracle, clinically, he is doing amazing. His brain is functioning well despite the pressure.

The neurosurgeon told us that Dad is a true fighter. He even said Dad must have done a lot of good for the universe because, in this condition, his survival is a miracle. If you know my dad, you know that’s true. He’s the man who never says a bad word about anyone, always happy, always cooking, and always making sure everyone is fed, no matter who they are.

Currently, he’s in the Neurosurgical Ward at Penang General Hospital under the care of specialist Dr. Jayaseelan, an amazing person. They are monitoring him closely and doing scans every morning. If things get worse, they will operate immediately. But for now, he is fighting through this with nothing but painkillers and his own strength. The doctor says his ability to self-heal is truly a miracle.

Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you. 🙏
