sightseeing

not supposed to go visit him in the hospital tdy, and since the doc isn't arnd, we decided to go sightseeing to while away the time. but b4 tt, we went to the ICU to pass him some stuff, which included his spare hp battery, some love notes, the book yun lent me (One More Day by Mitch Albom), wanted to pass him his mp3 player, but then the battery was flat, so borrowed a portable movie player from adam (the company guy who's accompanying us) to pass to him in the morn. we stood outside the ICU to get the nurse to pass him stuff, and the v cheeky adam walked into the ICU pretending to be an ignorant angmoh, saw tj, and waved to him. stupid ang moh.

so after tt i received an sms from him saying he's v glad to receive the goodies so he has something to do... which was good enough news for the day. so we made our way down to visit the terracotta warriors (兵马佣), a famous tourist attraction in Xi'an. it was interesting and quite amazing, will blog abt it separately another day when i'm in a better mood. after tt we went for foot massage too. which is a good way to relax after the tense emotions tt we've been facing the past week.

his aunt and uncle called him secretly and he answered the phone, so emboldened, i went to call him too, though the conversation was super brief, and he was super whispering, i was happy to just hear his voice, and i hp he was happy hearing mine too... we're hopeful tt he can be moved out of ICU tm so we can take care of him. but we'll see how it goes.

next steps: another blood test will be taken tm to monitor his red blood cell count, we'll talk to the doctor tm and see him during ICU visiting hours, and hp tt he gets out of ICU. in the meantime we're working towards getting him home as soon as he is cleared for evacuation.

i finally have the password to his lappy, so was talking to some of his friends on msn. glad to receive so many well wishes. keep ur prayers and regards coming, i will pass them on to him. its always good to know ppl love and care for u...

fingers crossed, but we're hopeful...

U have a huge responsibility, there are many things for u to take care of, but most of all, take care of urself.

Dun be over anxious if things are progressing fast enough. Be glad, that there's any progress. Have faith. Things will turn out fine.
