Update on Ginger

Little Ginger was discharged last Saturday when she looked promising. She did. 

However, by late afternoon, she became frail and listless. Hyperglycaemia, it's called, caused by low sugar because she hadn't been eating. When evening came and she was still refusing all food, there was only one thing left to do. She was readmitted under Dr Wong's care. They put her back on the drip and force-fed her. On the following day, Dr Wong called me. Little Ginger is looking good but still refusing to eat. They had to continue force-feeding her. She will be discharged only after she starts eating on her own again.

The house looked empty without her.
