Day: May 15, 2008

Well, Soojin went to see a local ENT specialist today and came back with a not-so-good news…  after some testing, the doctor thought that her left ear’s high frequency response was rather poor.  And that this may not be BPPV after all.

What’s worse is that he thinks that there may be a tumor in the ear.  She will be hospitalized at local University Hospital for MRI to see if there is a tumor.  If there is a tumor, she will have to be moved Seoul for surgery.  This totally sucks.  Tumor?!  Dang… 🙁  And if it’s not a tumor, it may be a virus or something…  sheesh…  Anna cried today after Soojin told the kids that she will be gone for several days.

Please pray for good development….

Well, I guess I couldn’t stay away from sickness….  starting Monday, I started to have a runny nose, which later became a full-blown out sickness.  I have had fever, body ache, and severe coughing.  Blah indeed…

So I went to some of the clinics, an even without insurance, my visits were always about $12!  But socialistic tendencies must have price ’cause the doctors were very straight to the point, and no personal touch whatsoever!

Not to mention that each visit I had gone, once to Internal Medicine, another this morning to ENT doctor, both ended with shots to the butt!  🙁  It has been more than 20 years since I had shots on the butt!  I don’t know why Koreans insist on that.

Soojin will be visiting an ENT specialist to see about her BPPV later today.  Please pray that her condition will improve.  I would just hate to leave her here while she’s still sick.  There’s evidently a set of head rotating exercises that is supposed to improve the condition.

On similar note, I don’t know why we are facing such huge sicknesses… it’s not like I’m good enough to be compared to Job.  But trying to remind ourselves that God has a reason for all this madness is the only thing that gets me through.
