The LaoBu

Accompanied her to a doctor's appointment last week.

With her and my powers combined, I think we asked enough questions to get a relatively adequate understanding of the procedure and the processes that she would have to navigate for this darn kidney tumour that she's got.

The LaoBeh just kinda sat there and tried to take it all in haha.

So well, a robotic surgery has been scheduled for early Jan 2017. I'll probably need to take leave for those few days.

The doc said it's an 80-90% chance of the tumour being malignant and if so, the LaoBu would likely need to be on lifelong follow-up with the hospital. Of course, there's still a 10-20% chance of it being benign and she would then just need only 2-3 follow-up sessions thereafter before being discharged.

Knowing her, she's probably frantically planning out and trying to settle all her CNY angpows and Xmas gifts and major household chores/errands within these few weeks.

Sandwich - taking care of and worrying about kids on one side and taking care of and worrying about parents on the other side.

Dear Lord, please keep her in your arms and keep her safe.
