UPDATE: 25 March 2011 (Fri), 10 am
Good News! Miss Yeap is now recuperating and starting physiotherapy treatment in an extended care hospital in Shah Alam.
VENUE: Room 95, Columbia Asia Extended Care Hospital, Lot 2, Jalan Baung, Shah Alam, Selangor
VISITING HOURS: 7am -9pm
NOTE: In order not to tax Miss Yeap’s energy at this time, please go in a group and keep your visit short. Try not to ask Miss Yeap if she can recognize as it will put a strain on her memory. Simply identify yourself by telling Miss Yeap your name and the class you were in. Be positive!
UPDATE: 18 March 2011 (Fri), 9.30am
We received news that Miss Yeap will be discharged from the hospital on 21 March (Mon). However, as she still needs 24-hour nursing care, she might not be able to go home yet. The family is working out a solution and we will inform you concerning their decision.

Report by SY Phang, President BBGS OGA
The BBGS OGA sent two representatives to visit Miss Yeap at 5.30 pm on 13 March (Sunday).
As Miss Yeap is still prone to infection, we did not send any flowers. Instead we printed all your Facebook get-well wishes — more than 13 pages and slipped them into a clear folder to present to her.
Miss Yeap is looking much better, with a healthy colour coming back to her cheeks. She was sleeping when SS Patricia and I arrived at her bedside. Later, she opened her eyes but went back to sleep.
But as we prayed for her, she opened her eyes again and reached out to hold my hand. As we did not want to tire her out, we left after 10 minutes and requested her niece to help read your love messages to her.
Thank God for answering all our prayers for Miss Yeap.
Nisi Dominus Frustra!
PS: Although Miss Yeap's family said that BBGSians can visit her now, we feel that Miss Yeap is still weak and having too many visitors may wear her out at this point. Perhaps, it is wiser to give Miss Yeap a couple of weeks before BBGSians visit her in droves. Also, it will be good to keep your visit short and refrain from seeing her if you have cough and cold.
UPDATE: 4 March 2011 (Fri), 11.10 pm
Praise God that He has answered all our prayers for Miss Yeap. This morning, she was finally transferred out of ICU to the ward and was able to recognise her family members.
However, Miss Yeap is still on antibiotics and has a tube in her throat so she is not able to talk yet.
The OGA will arrange to send a bouquet of flowers to Miss Yeap first. We will let you know when she is ready for visitors.

Received this sms from Mei-Lyn regarding Miss Yeap, at 12am, 26 Feb: "Quick Update: She's awake more now. Infection in lungs causing lots of phlegm. Off the ventilator tho, and looks more alert & aware."
UPDATE: 24 FEB 2011 (THURS), 1.30 am
When we attended the wake service of the late Mr Eric Simon, beloved husband of former BBGS teacher Mrs Junie Simon, we met a church member who had just visited Miss Yeap. She said when she was reading the Psalms to Miss Yeap, her eyes were open and looking at her. A mighty good sign!
Says Miss Yeo Kim Eng: "If you love Miss Yeap, please stay away from her now. The best thing you can do is to intensify your prayers for Miss Yeap."
When Miss Yeo heard that Miss Yeap is on a heavy dose of antibiotics due to infection, she advises all BBGSians to refrain from visiting Miss Yeap.
"We all carry germs so it is best we do not visit Miss Yeap at this time," adds Miss Yeo. The doctors are limiting even the visits of Miss Yeap's family.
Still having problem getting her breathing properly - she's not getting ideal levels of oxygen. Lots of phlegm that needs to be cleared - they've put her on medication for that. Heat is stable, as is BP. Eyes open every now and again, but she's not conscious enough for recognition nor speech. Still in ICU. Not shifted to ward yet.—Mei-Lyn, grandniece of Miss Yeap.
So sorry for those who want to send a bouquet to Miss Yeap. As she is still in the ICU, please do not send any flowers yet. We will inform you as soon as Miss Yeap moves out of the ICU into a ward. Thanks.
So excited to share this sms from Miss Yeap's grandniece, Mei-Lyn: “Encouraging news! They’re weaning her off the ventilator. She’s breathing on her own! 2hrs at a time so less stress to body, but still great news I think!”
all your kind thoughts, comments and fervent prayers. We are all
trying to stay positive about the whole situation.
My grand aunt has yet to regain full consciousness, but the doctors
say that upon prompting, she opens her eyes briefly and can process
simple commands, so they are very positive about the condition of her
brain.
However, her body is not handling the stress of surgery well, and
there are some complications with her heart & BP. She is being treated
for that by a cardio, and was previously sedated again to stabilise. Today,
they performed a minor procedure to insert a tube into the throat for
better hookup to the ventilator. The procedure went smoothly, and she
is resting again in ICU.
Thank you all for not insisting on visiting her in ICU. It is very
obvious that she is much beloved. However, even the family has
received stern advice from the doctors & nurses about the ease of
infection, and how we all carry pathogens. She is so very vulnerable
right now.
I've heard that there is a lot of information flying about from
various sources. Unfortunately, from one hand to the next, some are in
danger of creating panic, etc. We are unable to curtail the spread of
information, but we fear the spread of less than accurate details.
Luckily Sow Yoong, has been more than considerate and checks with us
to help correct the details.
Please don't rush to the hospital. We thank you for the flood of
concern, but please do understand the need for a clean environment.
Right now, she's sedated from today's procedure, stable but still on
the critical list in ICU.
All prayers/positive energy/good thoughts are deeply appreciated.
Please ignore latest sms that Miss Yeap had gone in for another operation. It was JUST A MINOR PROCEDURE TO INSERT A TUBE INTO HER THROAT to facilitate breathing via a ventilator. Kindly forward this clarification by Miss Yeap's family to those who had sent you the sms.

Hi Mei Lyn, I am a former Fairviewan and I think a group of us would like to send over a bouquet of flowers to her since we can't visit her yet. Would this be possible? Thank you...
