Hi guys! Just to update a bit on Siying. She was discharged on Wednesday morning, but she had a relapse in the evening just when Zhao and I visited her, so she went in again that very same day. She's still coughing, but she says she's trying to repress it a bit so she won't cough blood any more, but yeah she still coughs. When I visited her in the hospital today she coughed some blood out once, and it is damn scary to see blood on a piece of tissue. Imagine what she's going through! She can still say that's only a bit. Siying also told me when she had her relapse she coughed until her whole towel was full of blood.... EEEE!

Pray for her, because if Siying continues coughing badly she's going to have to undergo surgery to remove the part of the lung that's infected. Hopefully she won't have to...

Anyway she's in East Shore Hospital, on the 4th floor, in this really dreary room with ugly paintings and a TV that only shows local channels and HBO. And all she can't get out of the room, and she's been there since last Friday, except the few hours when she was discharged on Wed?

She also says a big "HI!" to all of you guys, and that she misses all of you loads. She also pops 14 pills a day, and her pee is orange in colour. It's a side effect of one of the medicines. Yeah, it's methyl orange. Kind of freaky. She says she tries not to pee too much. And she's like permanently hooked up to a drip, and all the people around her have to wear masks.

So do visit her if you can, East Shore hospital is near the place where we went to eat kueh and stuff for Chinese enrichment. There's Buses 15, 33, which are directly outside the hospital, and 13, 55 and 966 along Still Road. Got to walk in a bit though. 33 comes from Bedok MRT direct, and 13, 15, and 966 from opposite Eunos MRT.
