my mom going for surgery

my mom has been having frequent intense gastric pains recently, so she decided instead of waiting a mth for the appt at NUH, she wld pay 5 times the amt for one with a private hospital. Expensive as it may be, it was well worth it coz the gastroscopy and colonoscopy showed positive results. A benign (non cancerous) mass of cells. Waited any longer and there may be complications. For the first time since i am born, i am about to witness my mom having to go for a surgery. She have to have her gall bladder ( produces bile to digest fats into fatty acids and is near the liver) removed. It wont be a life threatening or highly risky op but everybody noes tt every operation carries with it the risk of complications. I am worried that the op date will be during the time im in China. Ive booked the ticket and yet i wld really want to stay here to take care of her esp since im the one who knoes best about post operative care in the family. Seems like the past 6 weeks working in a surgical ward is going to be put into good use. I hope it doesnt clash . And im sure that even if it does, God is faithful to see my mom through and heal her.
tmr we r going to celebrate mother's day with her at straits kitchen. Me and tris were invited to bro edwin's and martin's holy matrimony which is abt the same timing tmr lunch time! so the original idea was tt tristan wld attend martin's (as he's part of the entourage) and i wld attend edwin's. But after learning about my mom's condition, i decided that nothin can be more impt than showing my close one that i really care and that she is not alone. Though i got many sistors and bros to accompany her, i feel that my presence wld make a difference as she can see that i put her above something else. I love nursing so much also becoz the knowledge i have really can help many people around me! Whailin recently have a back problem coupled with her long time gastric problem( many girls have gastric problems.tsktsk..).Im gonna bring her to see my GP this sunday! Hes the most sincere and knowlegeable doctor i ever met so i figured i he would give whailin good advice (as to whether to go for an xray and scope referal etc). I feel more connected to a few people in the cell group recently. Isabel, meiling and whailin. I am very thankful becoz in a united cell group, there is greater power and desire to touched each other's lives. No man is an island. A relationship with God alone is not enough.God also wants us to have good relationships with others esp our own cell group members and leader...
now for some more happy news ! i just got an email saying that MOH have shortlisted me for an interview for the MOH health science scholarship!
