AJ's stomach aches finally resolved

AJ's doctors were finally able to pinpoint the cause of her persistent
stomachaches as well as her burgeoning belly. Apparently, a great amount of undigested food
got lodged in her small intestines, another chemotherapy side-effect.

Her doctors were able to resolve this by inserting a rubber tube in her nose which passed down to her throat all the way to small intestines to help drain the liquid. So far, more than a liter of liquid's already been suctioned.

Currently, she has two IV tubes stuck on her arms, the other one is to keep her hydrated and the other one is medicine.

This is a big relief for everyone because the past days we've all been worried about that and each time we'd check on the net what stomach aches in leukemia patients could possibly mean, we get not so nice results which really scares the us. AJ is also feeling a lot better now, her stomach is returning to its normal size and there are no more aches. She can also now urinate without difficulty.

So many good news to share, isn't it? This last week's been very very productive and her doctors are really on top of things. Let's also include her doctors (names I have yet to ask my brother) in our prayers, may they continue to exercise compassion with their profession because at the end of the day, compassion still more than makes up for everything, it is what drives an individual to go the extra mile in performing his/her duty.
