Finally the day that's been waiting for has come. Papa sent him to school around 7.45am and reached there around 8am.
The exam finished around 1pm and he said that it's more or less similar like prelim, anyway we have done the best, work hard and pray hard and offer it to God.
At 6pm, we took daily ART and thanks God it's all NEGATIVE.
Now he's preparing for the next paper tomorrow.
Thanks God that today went well and we received another blessing from our sister who sent us mochi.
We call it today's Roller Coaster Day.
It's all started with calming morning, when papa accompanied our eldest son for online school, a day before PSLE while mama was doing my household chores and accompanying our youngest son.
Suddenly at 11am, we received a call that the swabber will come at 1pm to do PCR test for our eldest as it's required to have PCR result 24 hours before PSLE. We were shocked as we only can hope that PCR result will be out by tonight so that our son can attend the exam.
We pretended to be cool in front of our kids eventhough we were panic inside as we didn't want to influence his mental being.
At 1.03pm the swabber came and did the swab test and she told us after that she will go straight to the lab carrying other specimens from other students who have the same fate with us.
We did our ART also at 6pm and thanks God, it's all negative.
Now, we are just waiting for PCR result.
Thanks God for today eventhough it's a roller coaster day but You never leave us alone.
Our friends are sending us a lot of food as a token of their care and love to us. We are really blessed and feeling so loved.
St Michael, St Raphael and St Gabriel pray for all of us !
Updated :
In the evening, Richie requested to pray rosary together. And miracle happens during the prayer.
After the prayer papa checked healthhub apps and PCR result is out and it's NEGATIVE.
Richie is able to go for PSLE exam.
Thanks Mother Mary for your intercession !
It's another brand new day and we are grateful that Ted's condition is stabilised and thanks God that our ART is still negative.
He is able to attend online tuition for both Chinese and Math.
That's the most important matter today and another one that I am grateful is we have rectified our relationship with our kid's chinese tutor who's been impacted by our situation. I felt so bad to her, thanks God everything is good now.
We also received pouring message, snack/food/fruits from our friends. We are deeply grateful and it boosts our kids spirit.
We will not forget all the kindness we receive.
While papa stays day and night with Richie, mama stays day and night with Ted.
We all fight together and these shall pass !
Finally there's a light shining through the darkness. We received our PCR test results and all are negative.
We did daily ART also and it came back negative, phew.....
And another good news, Ted's fever subsides. He sleeps around 11 hours last night and perhaps it's his first time sleeping very well since last Friday.
Thanks God, for the first time in 3 days, I saw his thermometer is green which is normal temperature.
His body is really fighting the virus so hard and he makes it. His oxygen level is also good, his appetite is also very good.
We are really grateful for this miracle.
And we also very blessed and loved by messages pouring to cheer us up, pray for us and sending us some snack. We really feel that we are not alone embracing the storm.
As for Richie, he's counting down to the final exam, papa accompanying him for online class. They studied together while the Tromson is having HBL.
While I am busy with Ted fighting the virus by exercise.
We can do this together !!
The next day, we brought Ted to the clinic to confirm by doing ART and PCR Test. ART result came back positive and it's very likely that PCR test will be positive.
We called the school and informed them and we started to self - isolate at home while wondering what will happen to Richie's PSLE.
We asked the school, and the school had no concrete answer and asked us to wait for MOH advise.
Richie broke down on his birthday as he felt some disappointments, confusions that everything happened so sudden.
On Saturday morning, we received the PCR result and it's confirmed positive and the clinic said that MOH will send SMS on what to do next and likely that we will received Quarantine Order for 10 days.
It's the painful moment when we were patiently what will be the verdict. It's really beyond our control and on Sunday morning, we received SMS from MOH that our QO was until 3rd of October, which means Richie may have a chance to go for Chinese and Science subjects.
Not long after that, in the afternoon we received the news that all students under QO could go for exam as long as their ART is negative. Phew....
We did PCR test on Sunday and need to do daily self ART .
Finally, there's some hope that Richie can go for PSLE.
In this final sprint despite all the odds, we will do the best and offer it to God.
This is his last year in primary school as well pre-teen years. As we are preparing for his final exam, we didn't really celebrate in fancy way.
We had a simple dinner at Yakiniku Like and had a cake at home.
He has matured in terms of physically and mentally, more responsible eventhough games is still his priority over study.
Happy Birthday Richie !
May God bless you abundantly, guide your path and your future !
