Baby's Heart Operation Most Probably June 2024

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/11/baby-going-for-heart-operation-in-2024.html

Today went to see the surgeon, or rather part of the surgical team, so it's one big doctor, another doctor, a nurse and a coordinator who is the point of contact between me and the surgical team.

So the big doctor went through the story of what happened, why the operation is necessary, why they recommend to do it as soon as possible, what are the risks, how long the operation will take, how long to recover and so forth.

My understanding is that the operation is necessary, better to do it while she is young, have to cut down her old scar on her chest, the operation will take around 4 hours if no complication, there is mention of Ross Procedure if the valve is damaged, there are also other possible complications like bleeding and "heart sticking to something", didn't fully catch this part. If all is well, will probably take around 4 weeks for her to recover.

I don't have any question for the doctor, I think he explained it clear enough, so me and wife will proceed with the operation, so what is left is to plan it at the start of the June holidays, hope everything goes well and she can return to school after the holidays.

Since today they just told us so much, so we will use today to digest, tomorrow will let the coordinator know that we wish to proceed.

MIL and one of baby's cousin is coming to SG, probably the weekend before the operation.

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
