Updates on my dad …again

So my dad actually took the x-ray that he took at the government health centre (a pre-requesite in order to renew your work visa in Brunei), to a private clinic to have a second opinion..the Dr. there said that well there is nothing he sees and that even if there was a hardening, it ws due to the previous operation my dad had…well the thing is..i m really relieved to hear tat my dad’s ok (but do wanna get another opinion later, just in case)…but there is another problem..

Unfortunately, other doctors’ opinions are not allowed to supersede or even be taken into consideration by the final diagnosis of the government doctors…how ridiculous is that?!! In other words, if the government hospital thinks that my dad indeed has a lung infection (which they diagnosed) then they are going to reject my dad’s work permit renewal..and that means, my dad and mum will have to leave the country and their business immediately..longest being one month…

So right now, my dad has to wait for their final ruling ..which is supposed to be this Saturday..that means, tomorrow…I am so scared for them and I know they are even more scared than me…what are they going to do?? Its easy to say that they can come live with me..but they have been in Brunei for more than 30 years…even if they were to come back here, it requires a lot of decisions and planning..not in this kind of circumstance..

Nevertheless…I am planning to see if I can go back and see them this weekend…pls continue to pray for my family k….and I thank you all in advance for all your words of encouragement
