Sensible children bring joy to their father

Yesterday, D's Dad was in the Sunway Medical Centre for an angiogram (noun: the roentgenographic visualization of the blood vessels after injection of a radiopaque substance - merriam-webster online dictionary) and chemo-embolisation treatment. The latter, according to Albert, the doctor son, is "treating the tumour locally thru' injecting chemo agents directly to blood vessels supplying the tumour, then blocking
the vessels off (ie. embolising it) with extremely small beads. That effectively meant destroying the tumor cells both by the drugs as well as killing it by cutting off the blood supply." The procedure was done smoothly, "as planned," according to the radiologist who did it. He's an old classmate of Albert.

As eldest son, Sunny in the Penang Baptist Seminary, emailed, "Glad to have a doctor in the family and able to make the necessary arrangements in this time of need." Indeed, it has been Albert who has been ensuring that his dad got the best medical advice and treatment available. Maylyn, the youngest daughter, has put off her return to work in Singapore and stayed with dad in the hospital. The costs will be borne by all the 6 children contributing to "a fund for our parents care in the last years of their lives."

Sensible children bring joy to their father; foolish children despise their mother.
Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many counselors bring success. Proverbs 15:20, 22(New Living Translation)
