Update from Charles and Mihoko Wu

My Dear Brothers,

Just one week ago, my wife Mihoko was diagnosed with Hepatitis A and Acute Liver Failure. It came fast and unforgivingly. It was so bad that she went into a semi-coma state and before I even had time to absorb everything, I was told by doctors to expect the worst.

The past week was an emotional roller coaster ride, but with the outpouring of support and prayers from so many family, friends and brothers, it gave us the strength and courage to focus and move forward.

This may sound odd, but the past week felt a bit like last year’s Inter-school Athletics Competition. At first, it seemed as if all was lost. But the unrelentless support our brothers kept hope alive and the spirit strong. At some point things started to turn around and Victory became reality.

My wife’s turning point was when suddenly and almost inexplicably, her condition began to improve on its own. Our Victory came when the doctors told me that she had awoken and would be moved out of the ICU and into general ward because her condition was not life-threatening anymore and that we could even expect her to make a full recovery.

I still do not completely understand how or why. But I am confident that a big part of this miracle was made possible by your prayers and support.

On behalf of my wife and entire family, I would like to express our deepest gratitude for all of your kindness and generosity. Without them, I am afraid to even think where we would be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Respectfully Yours,

Charles and Mihoko Wu

Calling for Prayers – Mihoko Wu

Dear Old Boys and Friends,

We are calling you to join our prayers for Miho, wife of Charles Wu (Class of ’89), IB Coordinator of DBS. She is infected with Hepatitis A and suffering from acute liver failure. We were told that it happened suddenly last Friday and a liver transplant is urgently needed. Her sisters, Yukiko and Megu, will arrive from Japan the next one or two days, hoping to be suitable candidates for liver transplant.

Please pray for Charles and his family during this critical and difficult time.

Interhouse Drama Competition

Interhouse Drama Competition – message from Ms. Heather Cooper, DBS

As some of the old boys may know, the Interhouse Drama Competition used to be a very important event in DBS. If we don’t continue to support this tradition, it will be lost in the abyss of time. This year, we are trying revive this annual event in DBS, and we are combining four houses in each team for the contest. Each team will perform a play of around 30 minutes on the theme of Halloween.
Please come and support us on 2nd November at 7:30 pm in the Yunni and Maxine Pao Auditorium. Get ready for a scare of your life!

VIVIAN CHEUNG, 89, passed away peacefully on 24th July 2013 in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Her funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday 17th August 2013 at the Hong Kong Funeral Home, 679 King's Road, Hong Kong.

 

Ms. Cheung was born on 24th November 1923. She was the daughter of the late Mr. U Pui Cheung and a sister of the late Sir Oswald V. Cheung. 

She joined Diocesan Boys’ School, the alma mater of her father and 3 brothers, as Matron on 13th February 1981. She gained much of her nursing knowledge during the Second World War as her responsibilities involved administering medical support to the Chinese army.

As Matron, she not only took care of the medical needs of the day students, she also acted as mother or, in her own words, “housekeeper”, for all the boarders. She provided pastoral care, attended to all the needs of the boarders and taught them life skills.

She was highly respected by current and old students of the school and was terribly missed by the whole DBS community when she retired on 15th January 2000 after serving as Matron for almost 20 years. After her retirement she became a resident of the China Coast Community in Kowloon Tong.

Ms. Cheung’s wish to be received into the Catholic Church was fulfilled shortly before her passing.
