Nainai 4

The suffering continues but misery need not be. Within the suffering there is learning, joy and love.

Nainai has decided that enough is enough. She said that she knows her own body well and has decided not to seek further treatment. HOPE and CURE must now be replaced with just CARE. We discussed Nainai’s decision with the specialist doctor and he agrees with her decision. We are all in the same wavelength now.

The care consists of two parts, her body and her mind.
She is now taking medications to ease the discomfort for a better quality of life. There is this medication that makes her partially failed heart function better but will eventually cause severe damage to it. Death will come relatively painlessly and quickly, within a month reckon the doctor. Because of the medication she is relatively strong and alert at the moment.

Nainai sleeps most of the time but when awake she continues to have fun. She cracks jokes; make fun of the two GuGus who put in the most effort caring for her. Haha, she was game enough to do some exercise yesterday morning using her good arm and later her swollen arm. Upon seeing this I cheered her on, she gave me a wide smile and did a boogie-woogie with both arms.
While taking her blood pressure, we would play doctor and patient.

Nainai needs your support now; the two GuGus need your support now.
Treasure this remaining month, treasure every moment. Tomorrow may never be.

The suffering continues but misery need not be. Within the suffering there is learning, joy and love.
