yesterday:
we brought chicken soup for gran. she asked for it. nothing herbal, just potatoes and stuff. she ate alot! later her porridge came for dinner, but she said she was too full. after a while she was curious and asked me to let her taste it, and she ended up eating it (just some, but still). haha, was glad she ate well. after a few minutes she was all chatty and jokey. i brought my sketch book and tried to draw her, just to cheer her up. took pictures and showed them to her. technology confounds her. wah, a few times i really was holding back my tears while i was watching her! i control okay. just, alot of thoughts passed by me, emo lar. i can usually take alot of sad things without shedding a tear, but when it comes to old people and children i have a soft spot. was blinking and blinking like crazy-spastic person. (lol). listened to her talk about all sorts of things.. mostly gossiping about other patients. (ha) thank God, she has nice neighbours. they like her so much cause she's "cute and quiet". isa came and brought the promised siew mai for gran. then mom and tim came after work. after some time isa went home and we had dinner. went back to the ward to tuck gran in and left after 8. snapshots yesterday:
yum yum. chicken soup 'jjang'! (best!)
today:
daddy brought the potent pig's stomach soup that gran ordered yesterday. he dumped in lots of pepper but gran said it wasn't enough. (WAH..) we grabbed some chicken pies from cheers on the way to her block cause we were hungry. the popo beside gran recognizes us instantly now. when i walked into the ward she wanted to shout hello, but i put my finger to my mouth signaling for her to be quiet first. then i walked pass my gran with my head down. "EHH!!!" she screamed with her eyes wide open! so funny. me and the popo laughed at her. gran ate the WHOLE TUMBLER-THING of soup! all the ginko nuts and whatever. she happily rejected the porridge provided right after that. oh, she very funny lah. she took the french loaf my uncle bought for her and broke it up and mixed it in the soup, like western style. later she asked me, "eh. you got bring the thing to take picture?" HAHA, she acts shy but she loves taking pictures okay. took more pics of her and let her see them. " yeeee hiao ah loo~" she exclaimed. she continued chatting and telling funny stories (mostly made up lah), then i showed her some vids of bran, or van as she calls him. let her inspect my bag too.. when she saw my make up pouch she made a big fuss. THEN she got hold of my sunglasses. i wore them and she laughed and laughed, then she wanted to wear them! told her to pose for me and she said OKAY! HAHAHA~ after all that she was quite lifted in spirits, so, thank God. mom came after work again. after a while we went to eat, then tucked gran in and left at around 9. pics from today:
obsessed with my phone-cam. AH mama chantek!
thanks to everyone who's come so far. she really wants to see people and feel loved and wanted. if you have time, feel very free to drop by! i think she's getting better fast, now with her usual resolve kicking back in. in the beginning of the week she was saying funny things like going back to heaven and stuff, but i think the visits put away those thoughts. maybe God gave me this funny face so i could make her happy! anyway, thanks to everyone who's been praying for her too! doesn't she look better? :)i really hope she bounces back like she always has. mama fighting!
