Updates on Cassandra

Barely 2 weeks into reopening after an almost 6-month break, many schools across the country had to be closed again this week as the number of Covid-19 positive cases in schools are surging fast and furiously.

Yesterday Cass’ high school sent a notice to inform that Junior 1 students only need to attend physical classes on Mondays and Tuesdays and on online mode from Wednesdays through Saturdays. However, another notice was shot out barely 24 hours later to inform that classes across school will be on a 100% online mode 😩

Here we go again 🥱.

I pray that there will be no more MCO or our entire economy will collapse. I am so sick and tired of the pandemic and how it’s affecting our lives.

As I’ve said it before, online classes are not effective for most students including mine and I think it’s quite a waste of our money on school fees. But the school has no choice given the perilous Covid situation now. In fact, last week in Cass’ class, several students reported that they were in close contact with Covid positive patients and the entire class was told to stay home for a day pending the Covid swab results of the affected students. Another classmate was in close contact with a Covid positive student who takes the same van.

Today is Cass’ Urodynamics procedure at HKL. It’s the second time that she went through this invasive procedure. The first was done 7 years ago when she was 6 years old. The test today shows that almost everything in the urinary tract looks and works pretty normally, which now narrows down the head of Urologist’s suspicion of an ectopic ureter. The recent MRU done recently showed vague images of a ureter exiting abnormally but a Cystoscopy done later (early this year) did not detect the suspected ectopic ureter. As Cass had undergone two abdomen surgeries when she was 13 months old, it is not easy to see things clearly inside with adhesions and stuff.

Another MRU (MRI) with Lasix (dye) has been ordered and the date will be given to us soon… which means that Cass has to go through another Covid PCR swab test 😢

Super duper long queue outside HKL, which started from the lift area to the road outside (over 300 meters long).
Dang bloody hot in the sun waiting. The long queue was caused by Covid-19 SOPs — scanning of My Sejahtera app, temperature screening and giving out of sticker to those who’ve done the screening.
Cass brought along her Chemistry book to get some homework done while waiting.
Cass was allowed to bring her mobile phone into the Urodynamics Suite. Part way through the procedure, I got a pleasant surprise from her via Whatsapp.

The procedure lasted for about 1.5 hours and then we had a long consultation with the head of Urologist.

To be continued…
