Leading up to 2nd August 2008
In the last 2 weeks, the prayer chain was activated, and half the church knew of the cyst. We were praying definitely earnestly that God would protect our child first and foremost, and that we would be content with whatever outcome or recourse the Lord provided.
Surprisingly, when we showed our appointment card to Mrs Chua, she recognised the name of our Gynae immediately, saying that he was her & Dr Chua's senior in Med school, and he's kind of a HOD in KK, and he's very experienced in his field.
Thank God for this reassurance, we don't have to hop around Singapore getting a 2nd/3rd/4th opinion, not knowing which Gynae to trust.
2nd August 2008
Today, Dad went golfing in JB again, so no car, and we cabbed down to KK AMK again for the follow up visit. We were early this time, and went in with some apprehension on whether our baby was growing or not. 2 weeks back Little Leong was 1.8 cm long.... today we would know if the pregnancy was stable or not.
Looking apprehensively over Dr Tee's shoulder at the screen, we saw the familiar disc of black mass, and a littler shape. As we saw the little shape closer up, we could see little flickering in the middle of the white mass. Our biggy hearts jumped in exhilaration as he said, "Look, it's the heartbeat!"
Of course, tempered by the great joy in the confirmation of our child's health (it grew from 1.8cm to about 2.2cm) was the impending operation. Dr Tee told us that a 8.5 cm cyst would likely impede the growth of the fetus, and would need to be removed once the fetus is sufficiently stable.
The op would be open surgery, and have a 3-5% chance of miscarriage. Daphne would have to be warded for at least 3 days, and need to rest at home for 3-4 weeks.
3 weeks on, we were to go for a final scan in KK Hospital, 2 days before the op, and make the final preparations for the operation.
