12/3 Update

Please join me in wishing Mom a happy birthday today!!  Thank you for those who faithfully check back on the blog.  Sorry that we have not posted anything recently.  We praise God for bringing Dad back (after 7 weeks in Asia) safely on Thanksgiving Day.  And I especially want to say a special thanks to all the ladies who have stepped in to help support Mom on the weekends, when Dad was away.  We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving together as a family along with my Aunt Ceci.  And we took Mom out to Dim Sum this past weekend to celebrate her birthday.

Mom has a great appetite.  She is still faithfully walking around the park twice a day for exercise. And she attends a weekly woman's Bible Study every Tuesday.  Thanks to Yuen-Yee's cooking & care, she is well looked-after.  (Thank you also for all our weekend drivers who take Yuen-Yee home on Fridays & back to us on Sundays.  If there is anyone who is willing to help once in a while in giving her a ride to & from Union City over the Dumbarton Bridge, please let us know!  We would greatly appreciate the help & it would also give the current drivers a break once in a while.) 

Mom is on several medications  for her thyroid condition & her blood platelet problem and so far things are stable & there are no major concerns.  She continues to need high salt intake in her diet & will need to drink plenty of fluids.  She will be seeing one of Stanford's neuro-oncologist next week for follow-up on her tumor.  She is due for an MRI to monitor her brain tumor.  And we hope that with all the doctors & a primary care physician in place, the Stanford team of doctors would be able to care for her full physical health more comprehensively.  Please continue to pray for her chronic headaches & her gradual hearing loss.  She will be seeing a specialist regarding her hearing in January. 

We appreciate your faithful prayer support for our family.  May God shower His blessings on you this Christmas season.
