Distress call at 8.30pm 30/9/08

Dad's phone rang
Dad (in Hokkien): Hello? Har? What's wrong with Ah Ba?
(silent for quite a while....)
Ok... (puts down the phone)
Dad: Hey, we have to go back tonight, Ah Kong is sick. (sounded sad)

A chill ran down my spine. What? Something wrong with Ah Kong?

...............

2 hours later, we're at grandparent's place. Everyone was there. Turns out that Ah Ma tried to wake Ah Kong up for dinner. But, he couldn't wake up. Like he's in a deep sleep, and 10% awake. He slept through the whole night right up to the next morning. Dad sent him to the hospital, along with my aunts and my cousin.

Hours later, results were out, and it turns out that Ah Kong's salt levels were very low. Thank God it wasn't something serious. He's ok now, discharged from the hospital and recovering fast.

A really, really close call.
