April 25, 2007

Adrian had a good night sleep last night. He's never been home for that long and I think he's more used to it. On the other hand, I finally had time to upload some of the pictures from the cell phone online. It's sad to see how much damage chemo has caused and Adrian is now more skinny & his skin has turned darker...

Adrian was transferred back to K8N from ICU late Feb 2007.


Adrian in K8N early March 2007, noted that he still got hair...


Adrian had the GCSF Shot on his back on Apr 11th ... he's almost bald now!


Adrian enjoyed playing in the library corner.

Adrian is a strong warrior... even though he had experienced chemo, a process even adults find tiring, he is still staying strong and cute. I understand how you must've felt as parents, as when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was also haunted by months of "Thalassamia" scare, as I prayed to the Statue of Mary at Christ the King Church in Causeway Bay (inside St. Paul's Convent School). As parents, we are always finding ways to keep our children healthy. So, it's going to be difficult for me to say this (as I am Catholic and superstitions are frowned upon), but ever since we presented our daughter with her Chinese name at 1 yr old, she had been constantly sick (virus mostly, most serious were Roseola and Hand Foot Mouth). She can be sick for 3 weeks and okay for 1 week, and then back to diarrhea again. About 6 months ago, we consulted a Geomacy expert, found out that her chinese name was only worth 10 points (out of 100) and is the sole reason for her illness. We changed it immediately, and she is much more healthy now. (Only occasional flu which she contracted from school mates; her symptoms are so unlike before.) It's all superstition, I know, but speaking from a parent to another parent, it gave me great peace of mind in doing so.

One other thing... If you are questionable about name change (which I am sure most people are), there is another thing that the geomacy expert taught us which does not go against religion. That is, to dust baby's picture frames regularly, making sure that they don't sit and collect dust. (The same goes for mirrors too, they should not be dirty; because they reflect images of the person looking into it.) He stressed especially that dusty picture frames can cause the subject (esp. children) within the frame to get sick. It's just a little bit of effort, but well worth a go at it. (If possible, you can also ask someone to dust the pictures in Toronto too!)
