Parent’s testimonial letter to Master Tan Soo Kong
Dear Sifu Tan,
We are very happy to write these comments on the effect of your Qi Gong Treatment on our little daughter Renee Ng Krattli. Renee was born on 12 November 2001, with a birth weight of 2.14kg. She was diagnosed with a rare condition called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS).
CdLS is a congenital syndrome. Common characteristics include: low birth weight (often under five pounds), slow growth and small stature, and small head size (microcephaly). Typical facial features include thin eyebrows which frequently meet at midline (synophrys), long eyelashes, and short upturned nose and thin, down turned lips.
Other frequent findings include excessive body hair (hirsutism), small hands and feet, partial joining of the second and third toes, incurved fifth fingers, gastroesophageal reflux, seizures, heart defects, cleft palate, bowel abnormalities, feeding difficulties, and developmental delay. Limb differences, including missing limbs or portions of limbs, usually fingers, hands or forearms, are also found in some individuals.
On 13 December 2001 her cardiologist confirmed that she had a hole in the heart (ASD) which was small to moderate size, and her pulmonary arteries were narrow (LPA and RPA stenoses; 50-60mmHg).
When Renee turned 28 days old, she started to have reflux, and was then labeled as a ‘failure to thrive’ child. Her doctors put her on 2 anti-vomiting medications, on the maximum dosage. Despite the heavy dosages of medication, her reflux did not stop. The alternative was to send her for a fundoplication, a surgery whereby they would tighten the mouth of the stomach to the esophagus. Unfortunately, at that time Renee’s heart was too weak to take her through the operation. We relied heavily on the medication which was mildly taking effect.
She started to receive the Qi Gong Treatment when she was 33 weeks old (8 months) in July 2002.
The Graph on the weight-gains shows the effect of the Qi-Gong Treatment very clearly.
In the first 4 weeks she put on 300g, and 14 weeks she had gained 1kg.
On 7 March 2002, her cardiology report showed that her ASD had reduced. Her LPA and RPA gradient had reduced severely – LPA was 23mmHg and RPA<10mmHg.
On December 2002, Renee’s reflux had worsened. Her body was no longer reacting to the anti-vomiting medication, and her weight started to drop. We consulted her pediatric surgeon – Dr. Zulkifli from SJMC – who suggested for Renee to undergo the operation immediately, before her body weight drops below 4 kg.
The operation was scheduled for the 31 January 2003. The doctors gave us an 80-20% success rate. They expected that Renee would have to recover in the NICU for at least 3 nights, following a 7-day stay in the normal ward before discharge, provided that there were no other complications.
You treated Renee one day before her operation, giving her energy for the next day. It was a major operation, which took 4½ hours, with an open thorax. The surgeon performed the following procedures:-
- Correcting the Malrotation of the guts – her guts needed to be taken out and put back in to the body with the clockwise orientation.
- Correcting the position of the appendix.
- Fundoplication – the upper curve of the stomach (the fundus) is wrapped around the esophagus and sewn into place so that the lower portion of the esophagus passes through a small tunnel of stomach muscle. This surgery strengthens the valve between the esophagus and stomach, which stops acid from backing up into the esophagus as easily.
- Removal of several Stomach polyps, one of which occasionally closed the stomach exit.
- Inserting a feeding tube directly into the stomach, as the doctor expected she might not be able to feed orally for a long time.
Despite the long operations, she did not have to go to the NICU and was immediately put into the normal ward for recovery.
After the operation she lost almost 1 kg or 21% of body weight. Her guts were in a state of temporary paralysis, which the doctors could not predict how long.
During her recovery in the ward, you had visited her at least once a day. Her wound healed and her stitches were removed within 4 days. She started to feed from the bottle, and by the 6th day, the doctors sent her home.
She gained back 1 kg in less than two weeks. Her fast recovery from a major operation can be attributed to her strong fighting character and to her excellent response to the regular Qi-Treatment. The feeding tube was removed 3 weeks after the operation.
On 22 July 2004, Renee’s cardiology report showed that that her ASD was small 1-2mm, and LPA and RPA stenoses had disappeared.
We sincerely thank you, Sifu, for your healing, time and patience that you have given to Renee. We thank you, Sifu, Connie and Sue-Yi for your unconditional love for Renee. And we thank you for the support that you have given our family. Just to know that you are there helps.
Renee is very adventurous with food. She is able to walk independently, and communicate with gestures. She attends early intervention school, playgroup and therapy. All this is possible for Renee because of you.
Thank you.
