- Inside the ICU, three children have just completed difficult medical procedures. They survived, but the road to recovery is just beginning. Tantrums, uncertainty and waiting are all par for the course. How do doctors and parents cope?
About the show: Channel NewsAsia was given unprecedented access into the children's ICU at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore.
This five-part series documents life inside the children’s ICU - the daily struggle of children as young as three years old who have to fight for their lives; the emotional turmoil this elicits in their parents, and the men and women in white who stoically wage wars against life-threatening diseases so these children can grow up.

Aulia when getting her dressings changed: *screaming, crying, scared*
Aulia when it’s done: Thank you ☺️
i agree.
A true warrior
The way she sat there nodding along and trying to understand what they were explaining made me giggle. She’s so precious
A real fighter.
shes so cute i dont want her to be sick :((
MARCUS I WILL SEND YOU ALL OF THE JUICE AFTER YOU GO HOME AND GET BETTER
*juice*
Apple juice contains pectin which is loaded with calcium, magnesium, potassium. Give him the juice!
@@d6sir that's why you don't give apple juice to him. Potassium can disrupt the electrical conduct of his heart and he was barely stable
Caroline May AGREE
Br🅾ther, may I please have some
*JUICE*
Xinlin, I just can't forget the episode where she was in the brink of death.. Her dad was too strong to be true.. "Even if she will fail to breathe after the ventilator is taken out, we have to stop her suffering and not take the ventilator back." I was just in the verge of tears knowing that he and his family will leave sadness to the last and be happy on what they have now. The last episode was when her little sister wanted Xinlin to play with her and had to cry knowing her sister is in the brink of death, lying down before her, fighting for life. "I want mei mei!" And cries.. Xinlin and her family had brought me in the verge of tears..
May lord bless this family, and all others in the brink of death.
The "verge" of tears?!! Damn... Call me a drama queen but I'm drowning in tears....Actually...call 911...
I watched that 2 it was so sad
@@Sarah-dk8je me too.....
She died...she was readmitted and the died..😒
I’m very happy she made it, I wasnt sure if she did.
For those who are confused, the little girl with spinal muscular atrophys name is Xin Lin. Mei Mei generally means younger sister, which is why Jie Jie (Big sister) calls her that.
Oh thank u for the explanation
That makes sense,I know that there framing is different like we say brother in law they would say my sisters husband. I have a neighbor who has 2 dogs one is a puppy and her name is Mei Mei.
Lies again? Interracial Couple USD SGD
Rest In Peace Mei Mei. She sadly passed away in 2018. I hope she is comfortable, and happy.
😔 💔
Thank you for the update. One of my favorite things that I am reminded of is that in my religion we believe that young children who dye are welcomed into the arms of Our Father in heaven and that she is no longer in pain and is happy and looking forward to the day when her parents and her sister will finally see her again in the next life.
RIP Mei Mei
She died in 2015
She's watching over us from heaven now...
Oh my god Mei Mei made it!!!! I was sitting here crying, oh sweet baby, thamk god
Kayla Hurley me too!! I was sobbing and praying for her and her family! When I saw this I was so happy!
SHE DID? YEEEEES
Got I was crying and shit. I know it’s probably inevitable but hopefully she can have some wonderful happy times first!
she was readmitted.
Mei mei is younger sister. Her name is Xinlin I think
"water?" "JUICE"
me at the hospital tho
Elizabeth Martinez Marcus is literally my whole mood in the hospital I relate too much.
SelenaCatGacha! Also vlogs Forreal I was always moody and I understand how he felt when he wanted more juice
Too spoiled! Too spoiled!
@@timothylakaseru302 exactly. He is perfectly fine because he's being a brat. Near death or not kids need to be good.
Id say dude you'll get your dang juice if you behave. Yeah you nearly died but no excuse for having an attitude and ungrateful and a pain in the neck for everyone involved in saving your life. You should be grateful for not dying.
It's just makes me sad to see that these children are going through such pain. Thumbs up to the Doctors and Nurses for being so kind and gentle to these children.
These are some of the strongest people you will ever meet. I was raised in a children's hospital due to being born with a bad liver. When I got my liver transplant 3 days before my 9th birthday, they had me in ICU At Le-Bonheur Children's hospital. My mom said she saw a lot of kids come through there, some were sick and others had been beaten to death. The hero's are the doctors and nurses, who tend to this children.
the cranky kids are a good sign! enough energy for a tantrum is awesome ❤❤❤ Cant wait for Marcus to get all of his juice❤ sweet boy.
Cranky and/or hungry are two of the best things to see in children when something like that happens.
Loved when little Aulia told her mother “you give me trouble”. Such a strong little girl considering everything she’s going through xox
I think she meant the nurse not her mum
That was so cute and funny 😂😂
Marcus: *gets the opportunity to eat after 2 weeks*
Also Marcus: I WANT JUIIIICEEEEEE
One insight on the juice arguments- the meds will have left him with a very dry mouth. And having recently been extubated (and still having a NG tube) will mean his throat is sore and raspy. Juice is infinitely better for relieving that feeling than water, but the relief doesn’t last long. It also likely feels better in his upset stomach than plain water. I totally understand where he’s coming from on that one.
They're worried he's going to aspirate the juice which will give him pneumonia, so I see why the hospital didn't want to give him juice
He also needs the nutrition that juice cant give....
He almost died so he should be grateful and happy and willing to get better. Quit being a bleeping brat and do what your told!
@@haleypierce82793 he's just a kid
Haley Pierce he was just a kid tho...why are u being so rude?
aulia i can tell is going to be very mature. 3 Years old and is already so matured
Obama Trump young children like her who spend lots of time in the hospital mature very quickly because they are always surrounded by adults (doctors and nurses). I’ve seen it time and time again as a pediatric oncology nurse myself.
My heart goes out to you all! My son was born with heart problems and could not breath through nose. Now is 47 years old. We care for him at home. He is in wheelchair and does not talk. My husband and I are blessed to have him. He is gift from God!
Sending more love to your family. Stay strong and stay happy. I wish you and your family best in life ❤️
Omygoodness marcus i love this child “i can’t drink, because the straw is too close to the cup”
He don’t even make sense
@@tingblubblub6106 Well, just think about what it would be like to be in his life.
@@tingblubblub6106 the strawhole inside the cup is too near the cup's bottom part. It's blocked he can't sip juice properly
Tingblub Blub he made sense but he’s also a nine year old boy speaking in his second language while he’s you know in the icu
Marcus is a clever kid
xinlin’s family is so adorable!!! stay strong you have many strangers behind your back :-)
Praying for u xinlin n yr family.
I personally would not allow her to suffer at all.
She passed away in 2018💔
@@MeowMeow003 how can u know?
Damn I cried so much thinking that Xinxin didn’t make it last time ... so glad ❤️.. God bless you and your family dear 😁
Krishna Chandran so do i
@@saffiahmisiko6358 Xinxin passed last year sadly, but she is not in pain anymore
She passed in 2015. Also I’m confused because they showed her big sister but in the article it said she was the only child
@@alicjarojas7736 she died on 2018 not 2015.
@@kermiekermie333 no she died in 2015 read a news article and you'll see
I admire Xinlin parents so much...my perspectives about life changed completely after watching her journey, as someone said, I will never complain about anything ever again and thank for my health always
This is an old comment but I'm juat gonna say this. Just because somebody else in the world is having an awful time, doesn't mean you're not allowed to show emotion and be upset or be not happy. It's not a competition of who has it worse.
Xinlin’s father is so strong the things he said at the end has me in tears
6 months in the hospital is pretty long especially for a 3 year old. That's like 1/6th of her life
Yeah and the long term effects of childhood hospitalisation is pretty sad
POOR MARCUS. he's sick of that mess. but it was so good to see him complaining as weird as that sounds with how unresponsive and sick he was before 😭😭💙
Xinlin’s story is such a roller coaster of emotions. Her parents are seriously some of strongest people imaginable. To the hard decisions that had to make about the ventilator, to finally bringing her home and making sure she’s taken care of 24/7. Gotta give props to them and the amazing drs that did everything to help her come home for a little while before her passing.
Precious little Xinlin, she experiences so much pain, fear and all those uncomfortable medical procedures that a little 3 year old should never have to go through. God bless her and her brave family.
7:34 "thank you" 😭😭
The parents are so strong throughout this whole period..
Aulia is so cute and xinlin is such a good girl.. I hope these little angels will fight through every battle and stay/be healthy again !
Jessica Kookie I looked up the mothers Instagram for Aulia and Aulia beat her cancer and is now a healthy 4 year old!
Amanda :D yessssss!!!!!!!!!!!
Xinlin passed away unfortunately 😭 It's too bad she couldn't have gotten some Spinozza.
@@Amanda-ex4sr that’s exiting to hear!
Aulia is so precious! I really wish she and her mother are doing well
It breaks my heart knowing that xinlin is no more 😭💔
Rest In Peace baby girl 💔
Can we all just talk about Mei Meis older sister !!!! ❤️ she’s loves her baby sister so much ❤️
I belive Mei Mei is younger sister in her language and her real name is actually Xinlin.
@@starrylife. true
When i was hospitalised for chemo, the medications made me crave sugar like crazy!! No surprise Marcus crave for juice
He did not have cancer
Marcus was not on chemo though
@@jessajuly5513 i mean hes got tubes up his throat, maybe its itchy an juice relieved it??
@@evelyngonzalez4251 they could have been similar medication
Singapore takes care of their citizens. And they believe in everyone having access to heathcare and education.🙏❤️❤️❤️
So does Canada, and most other industrialized nations for that matter. It's only the U.S. who does't look after their own citizens.
@@investigator77 Also Japan.
This makes my heart smile. As a registered nurse this is why we do what we do.
Off topic question but who was your sickest patient that you believed that is still living to this day.
Aulia IS SO SMARTT. God bless this child
Marcus giving the staff a run for their money! 😂😂😂
I just gave birth exactly one week ago. My first baby in my 35 years of life. Watching this while staring at my newborn daughter really makes me think in 2 things basically....the incredible strength all these babies/kids show to confront their illness, how they are capable to remain calm, endure the physical pain etc. After my c-section I was in tears for the pain i was feeling and even after a week i sometimes break down in tears cuz i still can't fully perform physically speaking.....i feel embarassed cuz these little angels fight their best and I am the one acting like a cry baby. 🤕🥺The second thing, how parents cope with their kids illnesses....I was in complete tears just watching this and putting myself in their shoes, I could not deal with the simple thought, let alone THE POSSIBLE FACT, of losing my baby, i just couldnt, I'll be out of my mind.....respect to all of them and also cheers to all those doctros doing such a great job comforting these babies in the best way they can, it's an amazing job!!!
Agree w u i felt the same way as u had a bb at 35 w emergency c section an going through post partum depression sucked 4 me while my wound opened up a week later after was even worse i would cry all the time but yes watching this makes me feel like i was a punk....they r strong and til this day i don't understand y these lil angels have to go through this ....
' You give me trouble!' 😂😂😂😂
That so adorable
That was too cute, adorable and funny. Lol
That was so cute
Eh which one was this?
I feel all those parents I was experienced 2017 2018 my son was in ICU I see my self to them Thank God my son was better.. Still kickin and surviving was diagnosed DM1 PNEUMONIA CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE TB I LOVE HIM ALL MY KIDS THOUGH
Meimei is unlucky to be sick but she is also lucky to have such great parents ! God bless meimei and her family
Stella yang Mei mei its younger sister. Her name is Xinlin
It warms my heart and soul that these kids overcame extremely low odds of survival. May these kids have a great life and a speedy recovery! :D
I couldnt stop holding myself when mei mei made it to fight oh almighty u really took care of her i m so happy, its so disheartening for parents to lose hope, i pray being mother of a daughter that u recover soon my angel god bless
Sadly she passed away in 2015 and btw her name is xin ling not mei mei. Mei mei means little sister
“You give me trouble” hope she gets well.... this specialty requires so much patience
I've never been this relieved to see kids being cranky, to watched them so lifeless on the bed was so heartbreaking...i would prefer them crying if they got hurt or uncomfortable
Watching the lives of these children makes you realize how much we take ordinary joy or happiness for granted. Bless their parents and medical staff too.
“Her name is aulia, she has childhood leukaemia” my heart pause abit, omg
Then another dr said “this is the fate of oncology(cancer) patient, one day you solve this then next time another complication arise”
vancomycin I’m a cancer survivor. The worst thing about cancer is that the treatment (chemo) that is supposed to treat you could also kill you. I’m 27 when I had to undergo treatment, and I can’t imagine how difficult it is for young kids like this.
Gosh, Xinlin's family is just amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Poor girl, poor parents and sister for having to endure this illness and that much heartbreak. 💔💔💔
Xinlins sister was soo amazing so matured and helping her to get out from disease....she is so sweet
I was a blubbering fool with that one.. Poor Mei Mei, her sister was crying for her. I hope that Xin Lin can have as many days possible, alert and able to spend the rest of whatever time she has left, able to enjoy being with her family.. Life's just not fair sometimes..
I wish there was an update on how all these beautiful children are doing today
Poor Marcus was so anxious and confused. God bless him and his family. ❤️
He just needs juice! Damn people wasting his time.
U give me trouble’ I was laughing at this statement.
It was too cute. Shall we say a boss baby.
I laughed at that also.It was adorable!!
Mei Mei's alive!!! So glad!! 😍😍😍😄
PRAISE GOD!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!
Rainbows and Things she died last year
@@Tchg96 you would truly be a shitty doctor compared to those lmao
www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/no-regrets-in-letting-go-of-daughter
Marc Rem what? Why
I bawled my eyes out when I thought Xin Lin wouldn’t make it. I am so so happy for her!!!! May you go on and have an amazing life
Her congenital illness is fatal, there is no cure.
@@patricialong3492 ya
She passed away, see a few episodes ahead! 😢
I'm in physical therapy school, and I will start my first clinical round this summer. I signed up for a pediatric round. I'm glad that my role will usually be played when they're strong enough to start getting ready to go home:). Props to the doctors and nurses that are there every step of the way
I think this is so marvellous that they have the music therapy and toys while she is having her dressing changed. They really care about the children here.
Anyone else was praying for these babies the whole time watching ? I had a lump in my throat watching all these videos, the medical team are real super heroes ❤️ Thank you sooo much to medical teams ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A Smg bruh if u got a lump in your throat u better get checked out
As a mother of one it really pains me if your child suffers like this, I hope and pray all will be well to the parents I pray that you will be strong always.
Aulia is such a brave girl, 😆
I’m not crying, you are! 😭
Truly an amazing team doctors and nurses.
Right Zach, it's the onions. 😢
It’s great when kids are angry. It means they are getting better. Bless him.
Marcus ain't gonna be bossed 😂
He ain't gonna be rude either.
Haley Pierce he just fought for his life and won .. he can be as rude as he wants at the time.
@@mshanesee umm no because he should be grateful hes alive! Bad behavior deserves severe punishment. Like a butt beating.
Alexis Kuznetsova If you were in a situation where the last thing you remember is from quite a few weeks ago, then you wake up in a room full of tubes attached to you, people you don’t know are trying to move you in uncomfortable ways etc. You just have to understand those poor children
@@SweetTikTokLife 100%correct.I hv worked with terminally ill children,n there were times when they were in ICU,they asked for me.The doctors or parents contacted me after it's was enquired by e doctors n parents of why it was me that they wanted to be with in ICU.
You’re absolutely correct in not getting after Marcus for being grumpy. Right now he’s absolutely allowed!
Oh Lord my heart aches
Same here 😭😭😭
Aw, bless these sweet babies and their parents. Unfortunately, no matter how much we wish we could keep these wee ones safe and healthy, we're fighting biology and it's never easy. My heart goes out to the staff, the families and the little ones.
The medical staff are absolutely amazing. I’m so truly grateful for all they have gone through in time and commitment to get them to save lives. You’re all wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The way Aulia said Thank you broke my heart. Kids should not know this kind pain. I pray they all get better
These doctors are so amazing and strong but these kids are so beyond brave. I was scared thinking they’d all pass. It really makes you so happy to know they all make it out strong and start they’re journey growing up and recovering. Be thankful for everyone you have around you.
Xinlin died in 2018 🙏🏼
My heart aches for that 3 year old😩
I can't forget Xin Lin in this episode, her life motivation is extraordinary I believe you will recover, Fighting Xin Lin❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful sole that doctor has !!! It’s AMAZING 😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Without nurses WHERE would we and all the world be !!! God bless you all 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wahh marcuss made itt😢, im very happy to see it..
Alia is so sweet when she says thank you, I love that they used music therapy to help her. Humor is how I cope, so I named my urostomy stoma Squirtle and boy does it live up to the name when doing my changes lol
I love your name! and naming it is s great idea!
My Heart Breaks for the Children and Families. To be so young and having so much pain. True Warriors.
It was just heart breaking to see lil ones suffering so much. Huge salute to the hospital team who relentlessly work ... God bless all.
I love that Marcus was getting upset because he wanted juice!
Praying for every sick child out there! May God protect and bless every sick child with a blessing of a full medical miracle. In Jesus name! 🙏
Oh, the drink they gave to Marcus (the blackcurrant drink) is actually not too bad. I had to take those drinks (including more flavours) because I’m chronically ill, and it’s very sweet. I’m sure Marcus enjoyed it since it’s so sweet haha
Doctor : you going to behave your self
Me: hmm I dont know about that doc
I DEMAND EPISODE 6!!!
Agreed
Its a 5 part series... there isn't a 6th ep
This is amazing how you think these children are not going to make it and then they come out of it and get stronger and better. My heart was so up lifted in these one .
Oh Marcus, I can't imagine how he felt during that time
Touching beyond words.
Hats off to the nurses and the doctors were so encouraging for the parents and the childrens...hats off to the parents too..
He is such a doll! Beautiful little boy. I pray he makes a full recovery!
what amazing families and fantastic hospital staff, so caring and loving.
Your hospital and medical staff are among the very best I've ever seen. You guys are awesome!
Yes!! Thank you Lord!!! 😭😭😭
My heart goes out to all these kids. No kid should have to go through all these. May they always defy the odds. May they always come out better than they went in. Will be praying for you all. And to the doctors, God bless you. May God always give you wisdom and Strength, patience and perseverance. To the Parents, always be strong. Believe in Miracles: they do happen!
this episode gave me happy tears at the end seeing Aulia so happy to go to school, singing heads shoulders knees and toes...god i'm smiling and crying at the same time.
Watching this entire series has given me a new perspective on Doctors. There is no other more noble job in the world than to save the lives of others. God bless all of these wonderful doctors. It also makes me realize that we are so blessed to be healthy and living a normal life. We have to be grateful for all of the blessings from God and live our lives to the fullest. Fantastic Documentary by CNA!!!!!!
Five years ago I got Dengue fever and I was 25 years old at that time. I was stay in hospital for one week, like Marcus, I couldn’t eat anything except juice. My mom and nurse tried to feed me but I threw up. I cried and being silly and only said “I want juice!” . I totally understand how Marcus felt. It was so uncomfortable, no energy, and was annoyed everyone around me :(((
i love it how the nurse would do everything to calm down the children. god bless them
It is so rewarding to see these amazing kiddies recover the way they do. Such strength xox
These children are so strong! And so are their parents. Hoping the best for all of them :) Good job doctors and nurses!
“YOU GIVE ME TROUBLE!!” 🤣
These videos makes me cry. So sad that these kids pass through so many things is such early age … hope all of them will recover and back home safe
Bless all these little souls. My heart aches for all of them. Please let them recover and heal them from all pain. The parents gonna stay strong. I salute to all mums and dads.
Seeing them suffered made my heart really break :(
Congratulations to All the Doctors & Nurses...... It's really2 GOOD JOB. MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
Absolutely amazing care! Bless those beautiful children.
I bless all the doctors and nurses with love and light! Blessings to all the children and their families.
