Dear all,
  I know we all have hard time to accept the truth that we lost Brian. You might think" You lie to me, you lie to me, right?" as Vivian's reaction when she heard it from us.
  Many people ask us to take care, eat well, sleep well.
  We are ok. Eat might not that well, but fall asleep is very often for the eyes are very tired after tears.
... ... Our English Pastor Dennis had been walking with Brian and us all the way since we were in Whittier emergency room on Dec. 18, 2010.

Dear all,
Have you ever experienced the deep heart breaing pain?    In fact I had 2   over the past 2 and 1/2 years.
It took time for me to collect the broken pieces and to be healed gradually.  We are very thankful to God for preparing the loving family, the "Church" to help and support us whenever we need it.
Thanks to all of you who have been praying for us and Brian over the past 2 and 1/2 years.  Many of you may have already known that our beloved son, Brian went to be with the Lord on last Saturday morning 4/13/2013.   That pain from the loss couldn't be described with words.........
Another heart broken time was when Brian was diagnosed with this Acute leukemia in Dec. 2010.   I still remembered when doctor asked him," Which school your are attending?"  Brian said," I'm homeschooled."    "How's homeschool?", Dr. asked.   The only word he said was "Lonely.............."   At that very moment, watching my very very sick son, I felt  my heart was torn to pieces.   It hurt so much all the way through his ICU, coma, awakening, talking, opening eyes, sitting, standing, walking, running,  riding a bike.......       Seeing him getting better and back to always normal.   Sending him to school for the senior year should be a way to solve his loneliness.  But the relapse before the school started brought him to hospital again.  Until he went through  the bone marrow  transplantation in Dec. 2011.   Finally he could formally go to high school and enjoyed his 2 months of High School life with Prom and Graduation till June 2012................    Who knows there came the 2nd replapse and brought him to another isolated living style again.     It looks like his destiny was to live the life style without peer pressure.    "Father and Son" bounding life style let Mark and I have very solid relationship with him for years.   Actually, we were very grateful that we really own the full time with him for a total of 18 years and 8 months.     Through his sickness, we saw God granted him courage, enduarance, persistency, and most importantly --- the Spiriit of Joy from the Lord and never giving up till the very end.

Dear prayer warriors,
It's like a roller coaster.
It seems like the disease is stable. But the leukemia show up again aggressively these 3 days. Since his platelet is too low, there is some bleeding in his urine and maybe eyes. He said his vision and hearing are getting worse. And also there's a fever from bacteria infection 2 days ago.   They are treating him with antibiotic.
Good thing is the platelet transfusion help him up to 24k.
Hope his platelet can fumction well on reception.

Dear all,

Thank you for willing to donate blood and platelet for Brian.  He needs a lot of platelet.   1 or 2 daily.

I got to clear now that Doctor said any type( A+,B+,AB+, and O+ ) of platelet are Ok.

Only blood needs to be O+.

Here is the more info you should know before you come.

I feel like today was a big milestone for me in my spiritual life. It was the first time since I became a Christian that I prayed out loud, with boldness in my voice.
I have never prayed this way in front of an audience before, but it felt great. There were three times that I prayed today: the first time being this afternoon for the new chemotherapy, mylotarg, that it would wipe out the cancer cells only and not harm the healthy cells at all, thus bringing me closer to recover of a normal body. My mom said there were five people beside me who kept amening my prayers. My mom felt they all cared about me very much and were touched by my prayer and my strong faith.
The second bold prayer was for a friend I made here at the hospital. She's Buddhist, but since she works here in the hospital, she's open to all religions. I suggested that she attend an Easter service this Sunday and let me know what she thinks of it. People think I'm a pretty good guy, but I have all these bad things happening to me like leukemia and low immune systems. According to karma, this makes no sense, I pointed out to her. It's good things happen to good people, not bad things happen to good people, right? But if this were true, I would not have cancer, and I would be completely healthy. Anyways, I just pointed out the flaws in her philosophy and told her to let me know her thoughts on the Easter story on Monday.
I also prayed for her, that she would be able to know the living God instead of dead philosophies. I prayed for her to know the still-alive, living God, who listens to and answer our prayers.

These are Brian post on his facebook, pray for Brian.

(I wrote this last week, but was unsure about posting it. However, I've changed my mind; I've decided to post this.)
March 13, 2013
So, I'm back in the hospital, again, this time due to a fever. This was a very unusual fever. The temperature on the thermometer showed 38s and 39s,, but felt completely normal when touched. Eventually, the temperature matched what it felt like. Additionally, I couldn't even stand on my own; I needed help just to get to the living room. Now, all everyday tasks have become very difficult to do.

Dear prayer warriors,
We are in COH for the stool is so full in Brian's tummy.     He was restless these few days for this problem bother him a lot.   
Thanks God.   After our pastors came to visit and pray for Brian, God sent our home care nurse came over to access his oxygen level and found the problem needed to solve soon.   That's why we were admitted to COH yesterday afternoon.
They help him to feel comfortable a lot and can rest and sleep.
Here is the update and prayer request from our church pastors.

Dear prayer warriors,

We are in hospital now since Friday because Brian had continued fever while we were in COH outpatient Clinic transfused platelet that afternoon. They need to observe and wait till the temperature is stable.

His both legs are numb and painful and no strength to walk since last Friday.
I think it's the side effect of the oral chemo (he took for 20 days already), but Doctor said it's the leukemia interferes the nerve.   Please pray for this.  
Ear pain still bother him, but it looks better today.

Dear prayer warriors,

Brian has gotten a round of chemo in COH 3 weeks ago (1/25/13) and will do the 2nd round  chemo today.

Few days ago (Wednesday 2/13/13), we came to clinic to get transfusion platelet.   But he felt his ear pain and swore ( he had a little bit sore throat too 2 days before that day).   He spike a temperature to 38.6c after transfusion and his right ear drain with a little bit blood.  
So they admitted him right away.  On 2/14/13 the culture showed the "fungitell(1,3) Beta D is >500.   Although he has no fever for 3 days already, they still want to give him CT scan today to see more detail.
Please pray for the CT scan with clear result.  No infection.

Dear Prayer Warriors,
Thank you for your prayer.
That fever was gone at chemo day 4 (Monday morning).   That day they also checked his echocardiogram and CT scan.   The most impressive is the Neurologist came to diagnose the shivering on his right hand and right foot.   He prescribed B12 shot for him and it magically release the sympton and Brian can stand well and PT came started to walk with him around the floor again.    Thanks God for giving the doctors wisdom to cure all the symptoms.   
COH team is very efficient and has  very good team work.   All the check up were done right after the doctor order in 1 day.  Anyway, they said the fever was caused by the bacteria in his picc line.    MRI, CT scan, and echocardiogram are ok without other infection.    Thanks God!
This 5 days Chemo has done.   Today he has a lumbar puncher at 1pm.   NPO ( fast no food after midnight) since last night.  Please pray for the smooth procedure and clear result.
