There is no visible improvement in Ah Kong's condition. In fact, the lack of movement on the right side of his body is rather worrying. Doctor said that it is due to a stroke resulting from the fall. Hopefully it is a temporary condition that will improve and recover over time.
Dr. Loh has recommended that Ah Kong be moved to a individual room. The advantage being less chance of exposure to infections. However, there must be 24 hours nursing care. We are now in the process of making arrangements with a nursing agency. Apparently, a qualified nurse is required as she is supposed to take over all the nursing care for the patient.
Looking at the situation, it looks like Ah Kong will remain in the hospital for quite some time. We have to be psychological prepared for the emotional and difficult road ahead. Some kind of time table has to be worked out so that the duty of caring for Ah Kong can be more effectively shared. Ah Mah too need our emotional support and care in this trying time.
