Leaving Nursing to Nurse Her Son Back to Health Story of Laam Laam
Ms. Yiu, looked forward to the happy family of three like all expectant mothers. Born prematurely at just 26 weeks, Ms. Yiu’s baby boy Laam Laam’s tiny organs were not yet ready for the world. He spent crucial months in the hospital fighting to survive and he required round-the-clock care – an oxygen concentrator breathed for him at all times.
The professional team of Po Leung Kuk Chao King Lin Early Learning Centre is helping Laam Laam on his muscle training
Laam Laam had to go to the hospital often for various treatments. His oxygen concentrator was essential in sustaining his life and was carried by Ms. Yiu for him all the time. As such, Ms. Yiu had no choice but to leave her job to be Laam Laam’s full-time caregiver. Laam Laam's medical expenses and the financial burden of the family fell on Laam Laam father’s shoulders alone.
Thankfully, she has approached the Po Leung Kuk Chao King Lin Early Learning Centre-Special Child Center 3 years ago. When the professionals of the center learnt about Laam Laam’s circumstances, a dedicated team of physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, childcare workers and social workers were fully geared up to provide holistic support for Laam Laam and his family. His performance on his speech, muscles and eating abilities were weaker than other children of his age at the beginning of training. Fortunately, after 3 years of training at the center, Laam Laam made tremendous strides in developing his overall abilities including eating porridge-based food, going to the toilet on his own, talking and walking.
Laam Laam and his family cherish their time together
Ms. Yiu felt immensely grateful to Po Leung Kuk and the center for providing her family with comprehensive support. She cherished how their care had given her strength and courage to face each hurdle along this difficult journey. “Because if I did not hang in there with courage, who else could Laam Laam count on?” While the road may not be easy for Yiu’s family, Po Leung Kuk will continue to support children with special needs and their families like Yiu’s family. |
