My Longkang

It makes me and many others sad but it has happened. God has seen it fit to take Cathrina Peter away.

The five-month-old baby who was carried by strong winds for about 100ft with her cot died of severe brain injuries. She was pronounced dead at 6.15pm on Thursday . ( reported in today’s Borneo Post ).

She was not taken to Kuching for further medical treatment as she had suffered severe brain injuries and she was in a weak condition. She suffered a cracked skull which caused her brain to haemorrhage and her right arm was broken.

The couple have since gone back to Bawan, Kanowit. Her funeral is today.

The baby’s mother Gindi Timbal acknowledged sadly that she can only pray as the baby’s chances of survival are slim. She cannot be operated on. Her heart is weak and her brain is swollen.

Sibu Hospital director Abdul Rahim Abdullah told Borneo Post reporter that the hospital was doing all it can for the baby.

In today’s update in the Borneo Post..it was stated the baby was blown away 100m and not 100ft.

Baby Cathrina is still in a coma. The Sibu medical staff are monitoring her condition and the results of her scan have been sent to Kuching through the internet for the neurologist to study.

If there is a need, she will be sent to Kuching or the neurologist fly over.

Let us continue to keep her in our prayers everybody. i believe God listens to prayers. It is not due to evil spirits as some believe but a quirk of fate. God’s will, will be done but our prayers will help.
