Ah Kong's condition is getting worse with new complications.
1. The liquid nutrient feed through the nose had spilled over into the lungs. Doctor has ordered the feeding to be stopped. Ah Kong will be on the drip for the next 24 hours. If further attempts to continue the feed tomorrow fails, they will have to insert the feeding tube, through an incision, directly to the stomach.
2. There are still plenty of fluid in the lungs. The antibiotic given has been ineffective. To facilitate the suction of the phlegm, Dr may have to open a hole in the throat to drain out the fluids.
3. Given the above situation, the recommendation to move Ah Kong to an individual room with 24 hours private nursing care has been ruled out.
4. Dr. Loh informed that the white blot in the 2nd CT scan indicates bleeding in the brain. However, the condition does not warrant any surgery at this point in time.
5. The critical issue now is the pneumonia condition of the lungs. The infection has to be contained as a first step towards recovery.
