How could a improvement of medical response be made in her case?bluknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152082968194780856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416477145812291210.post-888195111940391112011-09-25T10:59:08.344+08:002011-09-25T10:59:08.344+08:00Yes, indeed I heard about it when I visited yester...Yes, indeed I heard about it when I visited yesterday.

But did you read the page on "The Road Back?" - Miranda opened her eyes for the first time today at around 4 pm, though only for a brief moment. We'd hope she had done this 2 weeks ago, but better late than never.bluknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152082968194780856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416477145812291210.post-8456483498767607352011-09-24T11:36:06.329+08:002011-09-24T11:36:06.329+08:00Dear Kian,

Now, we just have to be patient and wait for Miranda to wake up. It has been 3 weeks and she is constantly in our thoughts, day in and day out. Many of her friends and colleagues are eager to visit her again if it is alright with you.<br /><br />Kong Peng and WinnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416477145812291210.post-22947558638687632472011-09-21T08:57:39.602+08:002011-09-21T08:57:39.602+08:00Hi KP - Actually I still have some doubts about he...Hi KP - Actually I still have some doubts about her planned colonoscopy today and wonder whether HL has read the latest news in "Restoring..". I have not seen the CT scan and the surgeons are sure there is a growth. They are also sure that it is still there after the colostomy, even though there is no X-ray or CT scan to confirm whether that blocked part is still impervious to stools.bluknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152082968194780856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416477145812291210.post-34382104031151662382011-09-21T08:28:57.226+08:002011-09-21T08:28:57.226+08:00Hi Kian,
