Doctors have assessed Father David this morning and have discovered that the sodium level in his body is high. Medication has been administered to address the problem. Doctors will review his condition again this evening.
His prognosis remains grave BUT his condition is currently stable.
There have been vast amounts of love, care and concern for Father David. This can be clearly seen from the overwhelming visits from people everywhere.
However, the Critical Care Unit (CCU) houses critically ill patients whose immunity is most likely to be weak and are at high risk of acquiring infections. The patients need rest and medical workers need to spend their time at the bedside caring for the patients.
The high influx of visitors streaming in and out of the unit is detrimental to the sterility of the unit and places the patients inside with higher risks of developing infections and complications. In addition, this high influx will impede the medical workers from doing their best to provide the highest standard of medical care to the patients.
Hence with immediate effect, the hospital authorities have decided to restrict visitors to Father David in the CCU. Only close family members will be allowed into the CCU to see Father David.
Friends/parishioners/well wishers are still welcomed by the family to the hospital to pray, support and journey with them in the waiting lounge. However, it should be noted that there will be strictly no access into the CCU to visit Father David.
There has also been rumors that Father David is brain dead. The family would like to inform everyone that Father David is NOT brain dead. This has been confirmed by the doctors.
The family would like to take this opportunity to urge everyone not to speculate news about Father's condition as this would cause much unnecessary unrest and distress. Any updates on his condition will be officially posted in this blog.
The family deeply appreciates the continuous prayers and support given and humbly asks that it be continued.
Thank you and God bless.

Dear Aunty Rita, Uncle Lewis, Christine, Michael, Robert and Family
Fr David has so much passion for God, Jesus and Mary. Take comfort in the fact that they are always with him, from the very beginning. Know that every moment, every breath, they are beside him.
We, his parishioners and his friends are praying earnestly for him to be healed.
Be strong and take good care of yourselves.
Love Gina and family
