Great-Grandmother

The children's great-grandmother which is eddaddy's grandmother passed away so quickly on Wednesday.

Less than 2 months back, Ye Ye sent her to CGH cos of diarhear and poor digestion. Somehow after many checks and tests, the doctor diagnosed her to have ca and at the last stage! Weird how come it could go undetected for so long. It seemed that when a doctor couldnt pin point what was the problem, they would just say its 'ca'. Doctor had said '6months', if ops then would be longer, however, Great-Grandmother had chosen not to have any operation done.

She was then moved to a nursing home (Orange Valley) for about a month or was it only less than a month. Eddaddy, Tiffany and I went to visit her once in the nursing home, she was so frail that she has difficulty swallowing water and couldnt sit up properly. Daily updates from Nai Nai, and we concluded that she gets weaker by the day. Then suddenly, we heard that she couldnt eat and was warded back at CGH last Friday. Weird hour calls dont bear good news cos Nai Nai received a call in the wee hours on Wednesday. And she was gone in the morning...just like that...

The funeral's being held at Blk 114 Geylang (Ye Ye's house) and the wake will be on Sunday, 11 Oct, 8am.
