I remember so vividly how I longed to hear Cass let out a fart when she was lying listlessly in the pediatric ward at GMC Penang 3 years ago.  As long as she can fart, that will be a sign that her guts are not blocked.  Our room was devoid of music and TV as I was waiting anxiously to hear her fart.  But she did not fart, sadly…. not until her second surgery which took place about 2 weeks after the first surgery.  When she finally farted after the second surgery, that was music to my ears and I hugged and kissed her and thanked the Lord!
