Today, Ah Jon went to uni on a wheelchair. There is much to be adapted to the "new environment". For example, when he is able to walk on the two feet, he can carry a couple of bags, one on each hand, another sling over the shoulder, etc. But this morning, he packed as normal... one back pack, a food/water bag and a thick sweater.
When we reached the uni, we realised that he needed to put all these stuff on his lap with two hands supporting them. So, how is he going to move the wheelchair? Fortunately, I have a large back pack so that he can put everything inside.
I wheel him to his classroom with all the eyes focusing on him. I felt a little uneasy but I just pretended that he was the only one in the class. I noticed that his lecturer came and asked what has happened to him.
By about 11:15AM, he SMSed me telling me that he needed to talked to me. I didn't get the message until much later. He later told me that he needed to lie down as he could no longer stand it. But by noon, he had decided to take the pain killer and he was ok after that.
I picked him up at 3:00PM and sent him home.
My main concern now is his appetite and the pain. There is no more cramp but he has to recover from the effect of cramp.
This evening, he spent most of his time sleeping until we came back from a dinner. He said that he couldn't sleep from 2-4AM last night.
This is how the "tube dressing" looks like. Can someone please tell me the proper name.
This is what glivec/imatinib looks like. It costs more than gold.Pray for him:
I ask in the name of Jesus, all pain in his legs be taken away, strength be restored, muscles and tendons be in perfect order and function. Amen.

Praying for your family esp. for a divine healing and speedy recovery for Jon.. I always remember a line in one of the songs long long time ago... "if you cannot see the hands of God during times of uncertainties and difficulties... TRUST HIS HEART that he will make all things beautiful IN HIS TIME"
