16 Oct 2009 - 3rd Check-Up

Brandon went for his check-up on Friday. I had a free period in the morning at 10:30am and so we went to Pantai Batu Pahat to see his Dr. Dr was quite happy with his healing progress although he mentioned that we need carefully monitor his recovery.

Dr remove the supporting cast and now his hand doesn't need to be in a bandage but still need to be on the sling to give him the support. For this week, there is no physio because it may be do heavy for him. Dr says that we can do exercise for him at home. Physio will start next week.

In the morning before I went, I prayed that God will make it a smooth visit and we don't have to wait long. David was going to take my afternoon class while another teacher is taking over David's class if the visit to the Dr takes very long. Praise the Lord that we finish (paying, taking medicine, giving the nurses the photos taken with Brandon) by 12:35pm. Then we rush off to see Brandon's peadetrician in another clinic (not in Pantai Hospital), again praise God that we finish by 1pm. Brandon have no more wheezing and so Dr is reducing his puff to once a day. Praying that in 6 weeks time when we go for this check-up again, he won't need his puff medication anymore. All in all, we manage to get back to Yong Peng by 1:50pm and in time for me to take my afternoon class.

Daily we need to exercise his arm 3 times at 20 stretch per session. This picture show that his arm have quite a bit of dry skin flaking off.
