Ya i knw i just blogged today... but was serving the net just now & found these pictures~
 this is a pic i found on "babies open heart surgery", darling looks like this lor when shes out of the operation theatre so u can imagine how i cried tt time ne, exactly the same with all e tubes etc... & the 3 tubes i was saying tt is directly poke into darling's chest one is shown here also... red one & yes, tts blood flowing-dirty blood flowing out...
Darling is smaller size then this baby so u can imagine lor... ... I believe all parents' hearts would tear when they saw their own babies like this... tts y i say i nvr feel this kind of pain b4 in my heart...
 & i found this pic too... i feel its a beautiful pic ne... the name of this pic is called "stem of life" its really beautiful & meaningful ne, maybe i can do something like this for darling too... |

| Darling has reached home after her stay in KK! (14th admitted, 16th surgery) |
|
 So long nvr update... ya been busy since darling has been transfered to Step Down Unit on last Wednesday... cause only 2 nurses there looking after all the heart surgery babies or kids so everyday I would go there very early & go back late.. very tired so nvr update... -_-''
Shes very cute ne, everyday when we vist her in Step Down, she would keep on smiling non-stop at us shen she saw us.. heehee (no pain killers anymore liaoz tts y more awake & maybe not much thing poking her liao... tts y...)
 Yesh~ Our little warrior has arrived home!!! Yeap! Yesterday (27th Jan) afternoon we were allowed to discharged ne! One of the doctors mentioned tt something in darling's blood is abit high but ok can go back, appointment with the surgeon 3 mths later & appt. with Cardiac doc. 2wks later ne~ And also, we have to look after her very carefully... cannot let her cry too much, must note if she have any breathlessness etc or not... hmm.. sometimes i heard some wheezing leh when darling breath... hope its ok one ne maybe after a few days wont have liaoz...
 Darling when she was first admitted in KK on 14th in Step Down unit.. when i realised she was breathless & not drinking well...
 Darling in Step Down unit on 23rd Jan with her face not as swollen & and more awake as compared in ICU... ... (no pics taken in ICU only one which I had posted in my earlier post but tt pic also was taken when darling's oxygen tube- all the way into her lung one was taken out.)
 Balloons bought by mum, aunt, HS & L3~ ^^ tks ne! Darling loves them~  Darling very kawaii ne, she will look at the balloons & smile to them... heehee, in this pic she only lok at them, did not managed to capture those she smiles heehee
 Darling in my arms!!! After so many days... i finally can carry her on the 10th day after her surgery... :``` she look abit "qiao chui" in this pic hor...
 Darling very smart! She keep on smiling after everything is taken off! ^^'' Tink she knows ne...
 Darling in our car on e way back home after staying in KK for almost 2 wks!
 Darling's scars...all stiched up including the ones tt the tubes were inserted & the wire. this pic is small so u see its like nothing... but if u see the real thing its different lor... very gek sim everytime when i saw this my heart very pain lor but her heart ok then its ok, as long as she is feeling better can drink milk, we very happy liao...
Thanks Buddha & God for helping our darling to go thru this stage ne!!!
Charlene is our Brave Strong... little warrior!!!
Yes our darling very strong girl indeed, on Sat. the surgeon came to take off the wire (a wire is inserted thru the tummy into inside the heart after surgery, so during the stay in hospital if the heart rate is too slow, they will use a machine to connect to the wire & make the heart beat~Amazing hor~?) The surgeon say no need to give any pain killer... (rememeber darling has no morphine anymore...) they just pull the stciking out from the tummy can liaoz... kaoz... imagine got a wire sticking to ur heart thru ur tummy n the surgeon just pull out from ur tummy without any pain killer... u will cry or not...? But i heard darling only cry abit then the surgeon they all sayang her etc & after the curtain drawn up, i saw darling looking around... without crying... she's really a strong girl lor! & I'm proud to have her ne!!! ^^
 A smiling pic of darling before the surgery... found this when i was sorting her pics last week... cute hor... hahaDarling hor... dunno wat to say her... in hospital the nurses in Step Down told me she very guai.. everytime cry only when wan milk, then if normal nvr cry just suck pacifier n sleep etc...if not will mumble mumble like toking to them...say this baby sure very easy to take care when at home...Ya...ya... but when she reach home... her true colours all come out... either she knws there r nurses n docs around so she act guai or she knws she's out of hospital liaoz... haha
Then yesterday we can discharge liao ma, after the nurse took off all the "tapes" which were stuck on darling to measure her heartbeat etc, she began to be nauguty again... cry.. when put her on the bed, if she dun wan something then cry... then if angry make her body straight striaght to throw temper... oh man... haha cannot tehen her... today whole morning doing all her things... finally she sleep liao then i can use computer... :p
No wonder they say children with heart problems all very pampered... cause cannot make them cry... angry etc... faintz... ...
but watever it is... all i hope for is darling to be healthy ne!!!
PS: Have made a few friends from KK ICU, parents of babies whom have gone thru open heart surgery too, including Charlene, 2 has been discharged & i hope Charlene & "L" can recover fully be healthy always ne! & I pray for "A" & "HJ" to get better & get discharge soon so we can have a "reunion" not in KK but other places when all are healthy ne!!! |

After Surgery Day 6Darling is improving ne~ the medicines now left 2 types (beginning is 10 or lsightly more...?) so the tubes connected to her neck has been adjusted to her feet liao ne, the docs says tt darling is still abit breathless so must monitor if tomolo better then can go to "step down unit" liao, & can take off the oxygen & feeding tube so she can start sucking her milk thru mouth! Today the nurse adjusted the feeding tube from her mouth to her nose-put together with the oxygen tube & gave darling her pacifier, heehee Darling suck until very the loud sia!!! All the nurses laugh at darling sia... heehee all the nurses & doctors there say darling is kawaii ne hee, cause everytime when someone walk to her & if she's awake, she will look at the person untill... all the way lor... then if she dun recognise the person she will "mui" then wana cry~ And because the Big Oxygen tube removed liao change to small one, darling voice can come out liao~ the nurse working night shift last night told me & the nurse today "this baby very cute leh, keep toking last night to me dun wana sleep, keep saying: "mmm wooo mmm wooo" dunno telling me wat then if i walk away, she will cry & when if i tok to her, she tok to me again, haha so cute so small like to tok~"
haha, darling is so cute ne.... love her love her!!! Actually today afternoon when she wake up also "tok" to me somemore tok till cry... haiz... must be telling me how "xin ku" she is these few days... cause tok n tok untill face very sad then suddenly cry till very the sad sia... aiyoh... dun really dare to let her see me & dear2 cause she see liao will suddenly wana cry... ...
Oh ya, & i saw darling's profile tt she not only have ASD & VSD done during surgery, there's also another one called PGA Ligation... they nvr told me leh, checked on internet, its something like a valve at external of ur heart supposed to close when a baby is born.. but i guessed darling's one is not close thus they close this too during surgery. B4 surgery got hear the surgeon says "sometimes when we open n see, the heart might be different from wat we saw from the scan cause nothing is 100% one ma" so i supposed they saw this too ne n closed this.Just hope everything is fine ne!!!  this pic is taken from ICU... saw all those "wires"? Ya all poke into darling's skin one (neck/hand/feet)... now left 2.. beginning is around 10... saw the tube? darling actually have 3 of them poking her tummy... now no more... the one on the picture is the urine tube now also took off liao! n the tube to darling's nose is the smaller oxygen tube, the bigger one... is well.. bigger then this lor & plug all the way to her lung from her nose... at least this small one just put outside her nostril... ...
Darling~ we love ya!!! Gambaroooo!!! |

After Surgery Day 3
Yes... here i am at Delifrance in KK again...cause the boy whose bed is opposite darling has been to surgery for the 4th time, poor boy...(he have 2 holes & some vessel problems, really hope he will be fine ne) and the surgery just finish so again need around 1hr for the nurse to prepare everything...b4 I can go inside the ward to see darling. Happy tt all 3 tubes which had been connected to darling's chest to drain off the dirty blood had been taken off, & her condition is stable ne, hope it will get better day by day!!! Mummy loves you darling & I know u can do it!!! Now i keep thinking who to find to look after darling, mum & aunt just visited darling & mum says "you dare to let ppl lok after Charlene?? this is a major surgery u knw, after this surgery need at least 2 yrs also for total recovery..." ya i knw too...
think some ppl just think "aiyah, heart surgery only ma- mend the holes, after this ok liao"
But do you all knw HEART is the most important organ in human body? Without HEART, our body cant function at all~ so which means a Heart surgery is aint as simple as what you think~ Ya surgery leg, hand etc just open & close ya cause the heart is still working & pumping ma to keep the body functioning. But how to operate Heart when a person need it to function? Have ppl ever thought of this question? I dun think so...
During an Open Heart Surgery, a special machine is used cause when heart opened- nothing to keep the body working right?? Nvr thought of this right?? When the heart is opened, this means nothing is working to keep the body functioning thus a special machine is used & after operating, the heart is connected back again to the body to make it work again, so can u imagine wat happen if theres anything wrong with the "machine"? or the vessels or vains connected wrongly etc? (& our body have dunno hw many thousands or millions of vessels running?) Amazing right???
Just wana let everyone knw tt "an open heart" surgery is aint as simple as wat u think it is...? |

After Surgery Day 2
Reached KK today around 8am today, darling opened her eyes & saw dear2, she cried & got abit of voice like "arh arh" then i was surprise cause by right e oxygen tube is connected to the vocal cord thus no voice should be able to produce but darling seems to let out abit of sound. The nurse then explained to me tt abit of voice came out because the tube is abit small tts y like this, & all the nurses were shocked when they heared darling crying with a little bit of sound coming out... ... When i saw darling crying "arh arh" wih a very sad expression, ya i surrender again & "tap" just open... ya im a very easily touched person bo pian... ... & darling really dun look like her own self.. cause face swollen, water in body ... actually just nw they say can take out the urine tube, they took out then a few minutes later say must put back cause not much urine then scare urine clog... damn heart pain lor, wa liao... take out & plug in again sianz, one of the the tube connected to darling's chest has been taken out but her oxygen level dropped because of tt & more oxygen have to be given... ... Darling opened her eyes to look look a few times in a blurry state (cause of morphine) & she will cry when she saw me or dear or when she heared our voices... the nurse say one ne... say when we not around she only cry when ppl touch or adjust her but when we here, it seems tt she will cry until very sad with tears flowing when she hear our voices or see us... heart pain.... really pain... I never had this kind of pain before ever ever in my life ...
Now im updating my blog in "Delifrance..." cause another paitient just arrive after surgery need to be warded & it would take around an hr for the nurses to prepare everything b4 we can go into the ward again... ... haiz.... bought a little mini cuddly rabbit for darling... from mothercare after i learned tt the urine tube is to be put back again... watever it is, darling we knw u can do it!!! My brave little warrior~

| Charlene's surgery 16th Jan. 2008 |
| Wednesday, January 16, 2008 |
|
Thanks to all whom have shown their concern for Charlene's condition, my beloved family~ my beloved friends~ my beloved colleagues~ really thanks alot for your prayers for our little Charlene!
Charlene has been in for the surgery from 930am till around 345pm, yes, a very major surgery done by Dr Shankar Sriram & his team of surgeons & a team of caring anestetic ladies, I was full of tears before Charlene was pushed into the operating theatre, yes, she seems to knw too cause she look at me & dear2, she didnt cry out loud but she have tears flowing down, dear2 bursts to tears too when he saw her doing that, she's so small & yet she seems to know! My precious baby... we really really really love her!!!
I wan to thank all God & Buddha whom have bless our little darling too!
Our little darling's surgery is ok, a "good" sign was shown by Dr. Shankar to me when he walked out from the surgery room, & finally we were relieved for awhile but her condition now is consider critical & needs to observe for 48hrs as this is really a very major surgery..., hopefully our little warrior will be able to brave through all the stages!!! 
This is the toy (bought frm KK mothercare...) which have accompanied darling when she was first admitted in "Step Down unit" cause the other baby have alot of toys leh... & balloons etc... but darling dun have any... so I bought one for her... she likes it ne! ^^But too bad... now in ICU cannot hang or put any toys etc... cause very strict, so after she is discharge to "step down unit" again, i will buy again ne... -_-'' Can say now my mood is slightly better, at home nw cause last 2 days have been in KK, my eyes really like Panda now... when i saw darling in ICU just now, i cry like dunno wat cause darling have about more then 10 needle tubes sticking inside her...? And I just cant do anything for her... Needles tubes connecting to her hands... feets... chests...all the medicines & morphine etc really very heart pain when i saw them its really really heart pain... dunno how to explain...and she cry sometimes but no sound come out.... the nurses says tt dependng on how fast darling recovers... the tubes would be lesser n lesser, so darling... Gambade ok!!! You made a promise with mummy by (kou kou finger) tt you would be healthy & strong after the surgery & Mummy believes you can do it! |

Charlene's surgery date is confirmed. Tomorrow @ 9am, was informed that the risks would be slightly higher then normal children with holes in heart as darling's heart is very weak now. Whatever it is, I know my darling is a brave girl & she would be able to brave thru everything.
God bless my darling Charlene~ |

 Yes, we r in KK now... suppose to be admitted on 17th... but since Sunday, darling has been feeding poorly... drank only 10-20ml... so on Monday-14th Jan, when its still the same, i decided to call Dr. Tan in KK, and they advised me to bring darling down. After checking, they mentioned that she's breathless as her hole in heart is "huge" ya i heard them say "huge" & "enormous"... tts y she is tired & dun feel like sucking the milk. We were admitted into "Step Down" ward, this ward is for patients before going to ICU/ surgery or after coming out from ICU for Cardiac. Darling is so poor thing, they take about 3 tubes of blood from her, i could not see hw they take but she is crying until very painful like tt... heart pain... n they insert the tube feeding thing for her as it would be stressful for her, have also those injection needle on her hand in case they need to give her any medicine can inject in... My heart really pain lor when i hear her cry untill like tt... and when dear reach there saw her, dear's eyes also become red... ya the one whom has always been strong broke down too... The doctors discussed about Charlene's case & mentioned tt they might try to have the surgery done earlier... but the ICU is full... ya no more space & tt ICU is all for Cardiac surgery babies... can u imagine... so have to wait for them to update me once they have the space available so Charlene can have her OP done earlier...In the same ward with us is another indian baby, i asked the nurse "have the baby finish her OP or not yet?" Then the nurse told me the bb just finish her kidney surgery, now waiting to go for the heart one... I heard liao i felt damn sad lor, i mean y do babies so small have to go thru all this liaoz... & tt bb is 3 mths old but i tink she is smaller size then Charlene... really heart ache...the nurse told me also some new born babies go for surgery straight & stay in hospital for quite long cause need to learn "sucking" as they have been tube feeding all the way since birth... I really feel all of them r brave babies including my little Charlene, I believe she will be able to brave thru all the storms like the other little warriors with God's help! ^^A few neo prints to share... which we have took on Saturday with our little darling... ya her first neo print shots... our first photo shots.... ^^v:-
   Ya i knw our patterns all very the off beat... actually wan to strike those pose like "darling in the middle then we kiss her kind..." but too rushing la... -_-'' |

 "im so sleepy tt i just cant be bothered with e mitten tt dropped in front of my @@"
saw the pic above? heehee, Charlene is so cute just nw... one second i turn & saw her sleeping sideway & the nxt second i turn, i saw her in this pattern (as above picture) haha... ...
really love her to bits...she very funny, everytime she sneeze or cough or yawn... sure very the loud sia... so "chu lu" :p then if i imitate her sneeze or cough, she would smile & laugh happily showing me her toothless mouth...& when i show her my tongue she also show me her tongue sheepishly & smile... haha... kAwAIiiii!
 "caught in action!"
She really likes sucking her fingers nw... suck untill really the loud one lor... ^^''
then all saliva smell... dunno leh but i really love baby's saliva smell... ... haha
 Saw those baby websites, we have to let babies have some tummy time- to spend time on their belly every day to strengthen their neck muscles, which help them push up, roll over, sit up, and crawl. I tried to let Charlene have a try, she lifted her head awhile then go down again, i dun dare to really let Charlene have tummy time... by right they start as early as 2 weeks old but i didnt leh cause Charlene's heart is weak & I scare it will affect her heart... She makes alot of sound leh when she is lying on her belly like very "la eng" kind... maybe abit tedious for her ne. Am afraid her development will be abit slower cause of her small size not much strength... but anyway im sure my darling will be able to overcome everything, anything the best as she can ne! ^^v mummy & papa loves you darling! |

 Charlene's surgery date has been set, it will be on 18th this month, 17th we will have to be admitted & they will do a series of tests on darling... x-ray... blood tests...anesthetic... etc...to see if Charlene is fit enough for the surgery, after everything is confirmed & ok, they will then let us know what time will the surgery starts and when Charlene needs to fast...
Yes I am sad but having an OP asap is good for Charlene i guess... cause she has been abit breathless since yesterday... and her weight has not grown at all for the last month, its still the same @ 3.975kg...because of her heart, there's extra blood flowing into her lungs making her more difficult to breath Spoke to the surgeon yesterday, he didnt really say much... asked him how big the opening would be, & he mentioned tt it be on the upper part of her body, like half of the body, for the smaller hole, they will sew back & will use an artificial cloth to fix the bigger hole. Hopefully everything would be fine & the surgery would proceed on 18th, darling would have to stay in ICU for 1 week after the OP and around another week in normal ward, we would be choosing the cheapest ward... cause the surgery is exp...
Pls. be strong, our little precious, mummy & daddy will stay by your side always. |

I'm not sure if everybody here knows abt "tiao dang", its ermm... someone's body being possessed by chinese God & ppl can ask them abt fortune health etc. Since young, I have been roaming around "xin tua" a place where they would every year pitch a tent & would have dinner & auction cause my uncles own a "tua" of their own. So to me, this is nothing fresh to me & I do believe them.
Last night, my mum went to ask "Li Ya Pek" a god from "below" for fortune & "he" asked my mum have how many daughters, it was then my mum decided to ask him abt Charlene, y she's in this condition. "He" mentioned that during my pregnancy me & dear2 "cheong" into something which means we may did something or gana something... when my aunt msg me i was thinking & i thought of dear2, my 1st reaction was to ask him "did you do any drilling?!" he say yes... to hang the red cloth outside the main door during our marriage cause the mum ask him to hang... i was abit pissed lor no matter issit because of this or not but everything has already happened. & my office also did alot od drilling when i'm working also...
My mum they all discussed & say "ya maybe tt's the reason..."
My grandma told us a few examples too...
-Her company got one lady got a patch on her face (birth mark) & she says that when her mother is pregnant, her dad did painting.
-My grandma's sister company got 1 pregnan lady, she did pasting for the items during work & her child was born with one of the eye: eyelid sticking together.
So far i have heard a few chinese taboos "What to not do during pregnancy"
- Avoid painting as this will cause baby to have birth mark on faces etc.
- Avoid sewing as baby will have clapped lips etc.
- Avoid drilling as baby will have holes. (Yes, i tink i may have gana this? Although, they did not specify which part of baby will have holes but my baby have holes in heart...)
SO... maybe alot of ppl may not believe this kinda of things but well... its still better to avoid during pregnancy, i tried to avoid but still cant siam as its already done. |

 My tear glands was triggered again yesterday while I was watching Kinship II, ya the part where "Ying Siong" was detected by doctor for ASD & the mother was saying "What?! My son is so young & you all wan to bring him to operate?!"
Yes, My tears flowed immediately... even though its just a drama, i was thinking to myself "Your son is at least older then my daughter...?" & Charlene not only has ASD, she has also VSD...
Charlene is only 2 mths old but looks like a 1 mth old baby... & she needs to go for operation...
This monday we will be going down to KK to talk to the Surgeon about the surgery...
Also, in the drama, the "Shuiling" & the bad guy was saying "Ying Siong" had to take so many medicines & go through so many Echo scans...
So do Charlene, i think Charlene went thru more...?
Total of 4 Echo scans done so far, 1 chest X-Ray done, 3 blood tests done, 2 types of medicines to be taken everyday, 1 type is 3 times per day & the other is 2 times per day... Charlene hates the medicine esp. the one to be taken 2 times per day... i think its extremely bitter... cause she would wan to vomit everytime when we feed her that, sometimes she "almost" vomited & sometimes... really vomited out... n all the milk which she had drank earlier gone like tt. My heart really pain when i saw her vomit, its like her milk intake is already very little n after the vomiting its like... she did not really drink at all? & she really feels very "xin ku".
She's also a very smart girl... when i carry her to the kitchen, she lok around the kitchen & would frown & almost vomited when i haven even feed her the medicines... cannot tehen her... really knws how to recognise places... |

 Happy 2 mths old, my little darling Charlene! ^^
Charlene wore a mini skirt today heehee, mum called in the morning & jio us go Turf City- Owen Seafood Restaurant for a new year lunch treat by father! Going to try the alaskan crab! Have nvr eaten tt b4 sia...
 When we reach there around 1pm, mum they were all sitting there liaoz, & i notice the logo of the restaurant reminds me strangely of Liverpool's logo...? & the name of the restaurant...Owen... kinda of makes me feels tt the boss is a huge fan of Michael Owen...? -_-''
Anyway...we were very happily chatting & then, then i knw tt the crab costs 385?!!!! Geez... everytime i saw those makan programme ppl eat like very oishii... nvr knw it costs sooooo much! Mum says tt the price is exp cause difficult to catch this kind of crabs, only available in deep ocean & alot of ppl risks their life to fish for this kind of crabs, if u have discovery channel, you should have saw the programme too i think, different ships sailing into deep ocean to catch this kind of crabs, just one trip out can earn them alot of money!
This Alaskan crab is super big sia! Just 1 is enough for the 7 of us & 8 if i include some we tabao for my Ah Gong cause he's at home sleeping...lazy to go out :p
Total bill around 400+++ cause got 30% discount... heard frm mum normal days is 50% on wkdays...this is e first time all of us tried this Alaskan crab except for my aunt whom has eaten b4 with her boss & colleagues @_@
We ordered half of the crab- black pepper & the other half steam.... Geez... this crab is really super sweet! No need any seasoning one! Very super fresh! Even one slim leg of the crab have lotsa of meats... :o~~~~
I wanted to take pic of everybody but all were busy eating so... only managed to capture a few pics of the babies nia... ^^v
