09/19/11 Jasmine's condition update

Jasmine is still not willing to take the bottle, but at least willing to have two small meals that are fed with spoon.  Hopefully, her appetite will get better, then she will catch up with her nutrient intake and avoid the feeding tube.  Since Jasmine is still not eating very well, she still has an IV intact to her.  She is also taking antibiotics, because the doctors are afraid that her wound will get infected.

A nutritionist and an occupation therapist will come re-evaluate her tomorrow, and hopefully we will get a good result.

09/18/11 Jasmine's condition update

Jasmine is still unwilling to eat, so she still has an IV attached to her little body. All she has today is a small container of baby food.....well, positive side is that she at least eat once today, the negative side is that she is still eating a lot lesser than what she would normal eats.
Her weight loss is not very significant today but it still worries me. I just hope the doctors would be more aggressive and try to find a resolution. I really really want her to eat!
It seems like her pain level has increased, as she is pretty upset and cranky today. Is heartbreaking to see my little girl cries and I just wish that I could suffer for her. 
I just continue to pray and hope that God will listen to my prayer and heal my little girl.......God, please answer my prayer!

Jasmine has a better mood today, she would smile and play with us occasionally. Step by step, she is acting more like herself.  However, she is still unwilling to eat. She has lost some weight already and I'm really worry that she will continue to lose weight and won't get enough nutrients if she doesn't start to catch up with her eating.

Please keep Jasmine in your prayer and pray that she would eat again and get the nutrients that she needs for her recovery.

My little brave warrior!

09/16/11 Jasmine's condition update

Tough tough day today.
After smiling at me in the morning and being called the cutest baby in the hospital, Jasmine refuses to eat and vomits out whatever goes into her tummy.
Doctor has to put an IV into Jasmine now, so that she will get hydrated and hopefully have better control on the pain relief.

Please pray for Jasmine and hope that she will eat by herself again and keep everything in her tummy.

09/15/11 Jasmine's condition update

Breathing tube got removed this morning and she has been doing fine with breathing on her own. 
She was bleeding quite a bit around the wound, as she is not on sleepy drugs anymore and she is just super active!
Despite the bleeding, she is doing very well and the doctors decided to release her from ICU and now staying in a normal room. Hooray!

09/14/11 Jasmine's condition update

Jasmine is still sleeping with breathing tube intact in ICU. Everything is well, except for a bit of swelling around the air way. Doctors will keep monitoring her and hope to take out the breathing tube by tonight.

4:22pm. The tube needs to stay in because of the swelling. :(

My first surgery

So my doctors at Seattle Children's have finally decided that is about time for my first surgery.  This surgery involves removing the mass on my chest and back.  The doctors tell me that I will be quite tire and weak after the surgery, so I'm handing the keyboard over to mommy.  She will help me update the blog and keep you guys posted.

Praise the Lord! Surgery is a success. But for cautious reason, Jasmine will be staying in the ICU tonight. 

Please kindly continue to pray for the little warrior. Pray that she won't feel too much pain after she wakes up from the drugs. Pray that she would have a smooth recovery (no fluid leakage from the wound, no infection, normal blood sugar and oxygen level.)

Thank you all for the continuous care and concerns.
