A visit to the dentist

SK saw dental surgeon Dr Lum yesterday afternoon. Hmmm, it was not a very fruitful visit, he did not do much. He tried to "repair" one tooth but the pain seemed to worsen so he stopped work on it.

Seems like SK's jaw bones have been weakened and have been badly affected by radiation. Some of her teeth are loose but extraction is out of the question. Because of the weakened jaw bones and lack of saliva in her mouth, SK's teeth do not have the strength to bite food, and it may take another 2 months for her teeth to regain strength. She also has to wait till her jaw bones are healed before she can go for further dental treatment.

Please pray that the Lord will heal her jaw bones & help her teeth to regain the strength so that she can eat solid food again ... Thai, Japanese, Penang food ...

SK's mum returned to Singapore on Wednesday with SK's niece and nephew. SK's brother arrived from BP today. He will return to BP with the two children tomorrow.
