Latest Update

Dear friends,

I hope this e-mail finds you in good health and fine. It has been awhile that I did not update you of Jorg's condition. Jorg's condition is weaken day by day now: and he is being treated with only
morphine and liquid food, for he cannot eat anything anymore. The doctor needs to give him morphine to ease the pain that he has, or else, he would be suffered so much. No treatment of chemotheray is given further, as it failed to rescue Jorg from the sickness.
However, Jorg is still conscious in his mind, and he remembers everyone who comes to visit him. He just has difficulty to talk now, and he needs oxygen to help him breathing.

He is still at Bangkok Christian Hospital, room 722, 7th fl. of the new building. He has his three kids with him now, and Jorg's mom is coming on this Thursday from Switzerland to visit him.

The doctor informed us that it is just the matter of time now.
However, the doctor has promised that he will try his best that Jorg has as less pain and less uncomforted as possible. and that we should pray that Jorg will not suffer for too long. But as you know Jorg, in Jorg's mind, he is still trying to fight this battle of the sickness, so none of us ever told him anything except that he does not have to worry about any matters, but just rest for now to get better.

Jorg is truly a hero, as Kevin, his youngest son, told him yesterday.
"Daddy, you are our hero, Daddy." he is still fighting hard now to recover, to live for his 3 children; although his body does not follow his mind. I could not agree more of what Jorg's son said; he has been a real hero in many ways. He is a real hero friend, who we will never
forget, even when he is no longer with us.

And on behalf of Jorg, Jorg's family and friends, we would like to thank you all once again for all the supports and contributions you have given to Jorg. Your contribution did help Jorg to have a chance to fight the cancer, and most of all, you all have helped Jorg to live his last stage of life the best that he deserves.

With my deepest regards,

Lily Gongvatana,
