Date of admission; 18th feb 2008. A call from school SKBD from Samuel , vomitted blood and traces of blood in stool on the morning in school. Immediately Jo' and I called Bro. Liu who ask to take him to SJMC to see Dr. Lin. Blood test shows low platelets,hemoglobin, white blood cell etc all very low and at very dangerous level. Further test to detemine actual problem after intitial blood test, bone marrow test was carried out.Results due in a few days to find the cause and to determine the disease. Samuel been hospitalised for 5days while waiting for results. Results 2oth feb 2008, confirmed not leukamia but dr.lin feared it was Aplastic Aneamia which has a lower survival rate than lukeamia . Decision to implement 2prong treatment with a final (BMT)Bone marrow transplant if both not sucessful, immuno suppression therapy........1st usung Horse serum ATG which last for 5days.....Samuel had alot of side effects and esp severe headaches and sharp excuriating pain at the back near the kidney areas. double vision after the second day treatment and cannot open his eyes. Continous prayers and crying out to the Lord for help as seeing him going through such pain and agony. on the 5th day the treatment stopped and dr. was pleased with theresults but samuel was not feeling well and sickly. However dr. said he can be discharged ie. 26th Feb08, but i was not happy. Samuel was readmitted on the 28th Feb morning with a severe attack of pain on the back and headcahe and worst of all he could not move and not able to speak at all.he was delirious and same time in great pain and cnnot comprehend or answer us. We took him straight back to SJMC where for the enxt few weeks his condition began to deterioate.
