An update on my mother's condition

Dead tired. Just back from NUH. Mum's condition is not looking good but is stable. Admitted exactly a week ago for water retention in the body but found that it is just more than water. She has low sodium content causing excessive fluids to be retained in the body, a condition that can lead to brain swelling. Blisters start to appear as a result but that has already been under control. Along the way, discovered her haemoglobin level is also low. Recheck also the same reading on Friday. So doc decided to keep her over the weekend for further observation but develop fever on Sunday, so she was put on antibiotic and sent for blood test at the same time. Now still waiting for test results but the fever has broke at the moment. No news of discharge yet pending results. That is the latest....and here is me with mum a day before she was admitted to hosptial. This photo was taken as part of family Christmas gathering.
Good nite!
