"Hui Yi pens ‘thank you’ message from bed"

Sign of recovery: Hui Yi signs that she is okay after writing her note

thanking everyone for their concern and well wishes.

Tee Hui Yi, 14 yrs old mechanical heart girl who once have to carry the 8kg battery with her all the time and has not give up hope. Her life is always hanging in balance and death could be imminent.

On Friday, Hui Yi went through a second operation to receive a heart from a 20 year-old mechanic, declared brain dead after an accident in Johor Bahru. A day earlier, Hui Yi had received a heart from a 15 year-old boy diagnosed as brain dead, but, soon after the operation, her body started rejecting it.

Lastest news,... double heart transplant patient Tee Hui Yi waved as she held up a whiteboard where she wrote her thanks to everyone for their concern and well wishes. Taken off the ventilator yesterday, Hui Yi sat up on her bed in the ICU of the National Heart Institute and gamely let photographers snap pictures from outside ICU.

"Hui Yi was taken off the ventilator at 10am after doctors were satisfied that she could breathe on her own relatively well. She is still on oxygen theraphy," said IJN heart and lung transplant unit clinical director Dr Mohamed Ezani Md Taib yesterday

"Her throat is still a bit sore because the tube has been in there for a couple of days. She speaks like somebody with a sore throat," he added.

I think we must thanks the donor, because the donor has pledge to donate his/her organs to help others in need and I hope she will recover soon.

I pray for her speedy recovery. Get Well Soon !!
