Wong Jing Yi


Jing Yi is my student. She has been with us for almost 9 years. She is a very active and helpful girl. Her hearing is impaired but she can talk quite a lot though not fluent. She is very understanding and sensitive to her surroundings. She will report any thing to teachers especially someone is doing something nasty.

She uses sign language most of the time. She can sign well and feel very comfortable when we teachers speak to her using sign language. I'm not very good in signing. I can sign some numbers and alphabet and some simplified signing on things and actions. Since the school reopened this year, I began learning sign language from her. She was so happy that I can use sign and she is most joyous to teach me.

She is a very helpful girl. She used to help a kid who is lack of understanding and often takes care of her and guide her. She enjoys music, she can sing very well and very loudly. She is the most independent girl in the class.

On Wednesday, my superior received a call from her mom saying that she fell sick since Monday. However, she refused to see doctor and she just wanted to sleep. She did not even want to walk out of her room. She just slept and slept. Her dad pleaded 2 GP doctors near her residents to go to her house to see her daughter but none of them are willing to go no matter what. On Wednesday morning, her mom pleaded another 2 doctors but the result was still the same. At the end of the day, she called our center and we decided to go to her house and try to persuade her to go to the hospital. And we managed to get her out of her room and to the car. Since that day she was admitted. At that time, she could still complain about her pain. She responded to us when we talked to her. But after the operation, about 6 hours she went into coma until now.

I did not believe she is in such condition until I saw it with my own eyes. She has no respond now. She is not moving, she is so still and according to KM, she is not on 3 types of medication, if a patient is given these 3 types, the condition is usually not good. :( Sigh... I still can't believe that she will be leaving us soon because I believe that there will be miracles. And I don't believe that things changed so fast. I'm so confused. The one lying there is so not her. Sigh...
