The doctors are keen to get mom started on the IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) that Dr. Puru recommended. They're going to call her tomorrow and arrange it. Apparently it is so expensive that it is rarely done in private hospitals! I wonder how much??!!

Thanks to the painkiller, mom slept well last night and also most of today. At least when she's asleep, she's peaceful and her breathing is easy. When she's awake, she has a pained look on her face but is unable to tell us where. When we move her, it's very painful :(
Anyway, at least her heart is doing bettr today. Not so strained. Lung infection still bad that's why both Dr Ridzwan and Dr Rajbans want her to get the IVIG fast.
