arrived in the mail last week. The bill for Jere's last MRI scan came up to almost 1.4k in cash after subsidy and medisave deduction. Gosh! is that expensive or what? and we are talking about Jere being already in C class, that is the lowest class there is and not even staying overnight at the hospital and the bill can come up to this....so much for public medical....
Sometimes they should do a case to case basis. All the write up about special needs children in the papers but no mention about spina bifida children. I really think the awareness should be raised here.

Second pair of Dennis Brown shoes
Yes, we are blessed once again, with another pair of hand-me-down Dennis Brown shoes. This time without the base plates and the screws. Thank you Lord. The physio therapist Ghim Hui was really nice. She got us another pair and said she'll look out for us for the next pair too. She said Jere will probably need this shoes for a very long time till at least 6 years old and I retorted :P well, there could be a miracle! and she smiled :)
Yes, people. Let's unite in prayer and pray that the Lord would lay His healing hands upon Jeremiah and straighten his right foot and strengthen his hips down legs feet and all that soon he need no Dennis Brown shoes anymore.

Dennis Brown Shoes - Part 2
Gosh this post is like 3 months overdue!
I said I had to post part 2 about these Dennis Brown Shoes till today I am gonna get the second pair and I still have not gotten it done!
That day when we went to get the shoes, in my heart I was still thinking to get or not to get... so EXPENSIVE! $155 per pair.
Then while we were speaking to the therapist, I was ranting of how much we have spent and how costly these shoes were. Aren't there any rental? or you know pre loved ones that are still good? like you know you can get those adidas, nike off the yahoo auction....
Then the therapist smiled and walked out of the room. She returned with this huge screwdriver and a pair of the shoes. The shoes had some metal plate screwed below which the therapist said Jere did not need and if we could unscrew that plate off, the shoes were ours to keep. So Tim who was there went.. ok... no matter what i gonna yank that plate out! He tried and he tried but in vain... anyhow, we left the place thanking the therapist assuring her we'll find a way. And so we got the shoes FREE! Thank You Lord! Look how the Lord watches over us and blesses us!
We went home and Tim took out all his tools in his tool box and tried and tried but still could not get the darn plate out of the shoe. He was trying for the rest of the afternoon and night till he went to bed.
That's how much your daddy loves you Jere.
The next day, Tim was on leave, for what really i can't recall but i definitely remember how he was still trying to get the metal base plate off the shoe. He went to the bicycle shop after sending me to work and asked them if they could help. They tried but in vain. Tim went to another hardware shop asking for help but they too could not unscrew the plate. Tim then returned to the bicycle shop and the people there almost thought he was crazy. I guess no one really understands how only a parent could feel and want to do what they can do for their child who is so helpless in the situation. Tim then went for lunch still thinking of the Dennis Brown over his bowl of Lor Mee at the market nearby. When he told me what was going through his mind, i was really touched at his love for little Jere. People all celebrate a mother's love but i guess we should celebrate how great our father's love is too! He told me that the whole world can don't unscrew the shoes but he has to do it coz he will be able to do it coz he's the father! and so he quickly finished his noodles and returned to the bicycle shop. The people looked at him with unbelieving eyes and he just humbly asked if he could borrow their machines to do it. The boss agreed. So Tim went in and tried his hand at it. The boss soon joined him looking at how determined he was. Together they finally yanked the plate off and Jere wore the shoes for a good 2 months :)
Thank you Daddy....
Okie, later during lunch i gonna zoom down to the hospital to get a new pair for Jere after waiting for a month for the appointment since he outgrown those shoes. I pray that the Lord God watches over us and send His blessings upon us wherever we go.
Pray that i get another Hand Me Down :) but without the metal base plate this time or at least one that is not screwed so tightly :P

In exactly a month
Jeremiah will be ONE!
How time flies!
Everyone's been asking me to put a wish list so they won't end up buying stuff that would seem useless to us. Thank you Lord that all your wonderful angels on earth wanna contribute to the progress of Jeremiah in some way or another.
But right now, really, i can think of nothing but prayers prayers and more prayers. So those of you who have been praying, keep praying. And those of you who don't pray, maybe can start now. NO... not kidding... start now :P of coz if u don't mind, we'll be most glad :)
Actually, God has been granting so many things to us already even before i put up the list. I had wanted to get my hands on lotsa Glenn Doman stuff which God has sent many to us in His own ways. Thanks Belinda for the Glenn Doman stuff and making most of the stuff gifts and so affordable to us.
Will put a wish list up soon. I try. I promise :)
till then, keep Jeremiah in your prayers.

Healing Masses
I am getting so addicted to these healing masses and I think it's a good addiction ;)It just somehow rejuvenates me and recharges me so wonderfully.
Plus you should see how Jere raises his hands in Praise and Worship and how he tries to sing :D
I remember my helper Ros asked me if she wasn't sick should she go and receive the healing and this was what i told her. Well, you don't need to be sick or have someone sick to attend such a service.In my opinion, everyone needs healing in some form or another. Today she's ever so ready to go to the healing masses. She says she always return home feeling so light so charged.
well, the next one will be
