- In the second episode of Inside The Children's ICU: 17-year-old Kristy has just survived open-heart surgery but there are complications. 3-year-old Xinlin’s rare genetic condition means that every breath is a struggle. How do these young patients and their family stay strong?
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.

Heart instantly melted when the kid stopped crying once the mom showed her the minion stuff that she bought... kids are so pure and easily contented 😢
Really not sure how I started watching this video, but it's nice to see another moomoo in the comment section, even if it has been a few months😅
A parents best moment. Stopping a child from crying in the hospital

Lies again? Interracial Couple USD SGD
Xnin's parents are AMAZING! Her father deciding not to focus on the sad fact that she will die from this; he decided to be happy in the moment, for the time they had as a family! That's an amazing attitude, for a father who knows his daughter won't grow into an adult. Her family made many memories together and did everything they could to make her last days happy and to make her comfortable and pain free. I'm in awe of their love and strength!
God Bless their family!
They are just amazing, aren't they? You sure need a box of tissues close by watching this series. So powerful and moving.
I'm a retired nurse, I've worked, Med/Surge, ERD, CCU, Hospice, and Maximum security forensic psychiatric. But I could not work Pediatric ICU, NICU or burn unit, it's just beyond my emotional abilities and courage. Bless those staff. 😥
Hats off
I was a student midwife at NICU and I did not encounter anything traumatic? We mainly cared for preterm babies
God bless you ❤️
Thank you for all you have done
@@cathyq3834 you were a student, do long term duty, it's different. My best friend from childhood was a NICU nurse for 25 years, very different than just 6 weeks of training girly.
Watching this series really opened my eyes on the whole medical field. I have so much more respect for doctors now. The dedication to their work has to be one of the highest in all occupations.
And nurses too. My 4yo is medically complex and the doctors are great as well but the nurses are AMAZING. They not only help their patients but sometimes the only person there for the mom who is alone with their child dealing with unimaginable things.
They can make a terrible situation so much better just with their attitude and I've only had one bad nurse in my daughters 4 years with many many inpatient stays and surgeries. As stressed as they are it amazes me.

You should already have respect for them this shouldn’t of made your respect them more. Nurses are important too
Don't forget the nurse, even the cleaners play a very important role keeping the hospital clean and safe for all concerned, and their's is not a pretty job to do.
Nurses are the real heros! They save drs' butts all the time, when they write orders for something that the patient is allergic to or doesn't want! They're the ones in the trenches on a daily basis! Thanks to all those dedicated nurses who listen to patients and don't diminish what they're saying!
This baby Aliya is so brave.... Even in such painful conditions she is appreciating things and *Thanking her mother for the minions...with all those NG tube numerous needle pricking.* hats off to this Kid ans really her mother too!
And others
She’s not a baby she’s 3 she shouldn’t have a dummy either
@@jorjialamb99 Bruh, she has childhood leukemia, if she wants a pacifier let her have a pacifier.
@@jorjialamb99 shes in constant pain in the icu........ give her a break. You arent her mother or father either.
@@jorjialamb99 anybody can KEEP a pacifier
The lullaby Xie is listening too at 14:22 is the same lullaby I used for my sons and that got me, My heart is broken for that poor baby 😭
"Allia has to be brave over the next three days"...Allia is just a baby of three! She should never have to be brave. I feel so badly for these babies and their parents. Thanks to these nurses and doctors for their steadfast dedication to healing their patients. You are better human beings than I could ever be.
I wouldn’t say 3 years old is a baby, a young child late infant stage of development maybe.

She isn't a baby.

And the others!
Only watched for a few minutes, tears keep on dropping off my face. So sad for the kids, I can’t work in the kids’ ICU
aww the child life therapist is so lovely! unique profession
Doctors deserve so much respect. Years of hard work only to l help you and save lives. They are heros without capes.
Gggfgh you 😘😍🥰 you 😘❤️ is dalanda you are doing good morning mabinty you are not going to sweet dreams and I are going ok 😘😍😘❤️💋😚😘😍😘❤️😘 email 😘😘❤️ is the best 😘❤️😘😍😘❤️ is dalanda you have any questions
Life is precious. I feel sorry for this kids. I was once in hospital fighting an infection for 10 days.. each day I would be surrounded by Doctors and nurses taking care of me. My fever wont go down and that was dangerous but they never gave up on me. I thank them each day of my life
I am so glad to see parents get emotional support. When my son had open heart surgery back in 1997 he was 2 years old and there was no such support for parents back then.
I'm so sorry there should have been .Bless you 💟✝️☮️
The staff here are truly incredible so kind and observant they obviously care very deeply for these children! I am sending all of my love and prayers to these kids and their families!
Heart instantly melted when the kid stopped crying once the mom showed her the minion stuff that she brought... kids are pound pure and easily contended 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
People like Dr Mok are real life Heros
These patients and parents are so strong and brave. I can't imagine going through anything close to what they've had to go through, and might have to continue going through, especially Xinlin and her family
These children have a strength that is second to none. God bless them, their families and the outstanding medical team taking care of them.
shut up
I wish they could've done a side entry for my son's open heart surgery like they did for Kristy. I've heard the healing is much easier. For my son they had to go through his sternum so now he's part of the zipper club♡
Same...my son had his open heart surgery back in 1997 when he was 2 years old
My stepdad had minimally invasive heart surgery at Stanford heart hospital. They had instruments small enough that went between the ribs to get to the heart instead of taking a bone saw thru the sternum which the recovery would take a month in the hospital and they didn't have that time. My stepdad fully recovered in 5 days
It depends on the type of surgery unfortunately. I've got mitochondrial disease too and I've had 2 open procedures and too many to count via my leg and neck
This is a very insightful documentary. Hoping for more of these!
I get tears in my eyes watching this. 🙏🙏
When I was six I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. A year and a half worth of treatment and healthy living the rest of the way makes me a fully functioning adult today.
They solved the constant needle issue with a port in my chest, and I had the same lackluster energy levels.
The beeping gets etched into your brain...
I collected stickers in my sticker books. I slept.
Mainly I spent the time in the hospital watching cable tv for kids. Rocket Power, PBJ Otter, Blues Clues, Bob the Builder. I scorned spongebob.
Most interesting thing I saw was Pres. Clinton coming to visit the hospital. My window faced the back, and we saw his whole parade of limos etc coming discreetly through.
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
I have a brain tumor in my brain and I’m 10 and yeah the beeping is is really like an ear worm
Kristy's brother is so sweet
Wow. I can't imagine what it must be like. I mean I'm 18 and ever since my dad had a heart attack (he's still alive thankfully) I'm always cautious of any chest pain and difficulty breathing.
I got an anxiety attack last year and the doctor just treated me for food poisoning before sending me home. But I had constant anxiety attacks after that until our house doctor said it was anxiety not food poisoning. And that was in a private hospital (god help you if you don't have medical insurance here in South Africa and you end up in a government hospital). I got another anxiety attack a few weeks ago and ended up in the same hospital as before but this doctor was very thorough in not taking any chances. They did a scan (I can't remember what type of scan it was. It had electrodes and stuff) and also did blood tests. They admitted me into the hospital and five hours later they did blood tests again to make sure I didn't have any blood clots or anything to do with my heart. And I'm glad she was so thorough. Because that lessened the time I needed to recover and stop having anxiety attacks.
It’s so heartbreaking to see young children going through these things. I can’t imagine how painful it must be for the family to see their loved ones suffering and not be able to do anything. The families are all so caring and loving.
Hearing that malay mum talking at the end 19.22, really made me tear up ♡♡♡ i couldn't imagine going through seeing my son suffer that way
excellent documentary
My heart breaks for these patients and families, may God bless them as well as all the medical staff
Thank you CNA for this!
Breaks my heart to see these Lil angels suffering so much. May God bless them all with good health❤️❤️
This series is moving to watch. The patients - babies, kids, families and doctors are so dedicated fighting for the life of a child 😥
Why do I keep watching these, my eyes are crying
They are great medical professionals...salute to all of u...
wow. imagine around 10 doctors in one room when there are so much children there. all the best to the workers.
God bless all the children, and the Dr's and the nurses
I want to just go into the screen and comfort the poor children. so sad :(
Omg that poor 3 yr old boy! He’s like x2 the size a boy his age should be! I sincerely hope that if there’s not a medical condition causing him weight issues that one of the doctors says something to the parents! That is not okay!
With his history of bad asthma, it's probably that he's been given steroid medication previously, which can lead to significant weight gain
Binging this series to get prepared emotionally to go into NICU, I wanna help babies and parents so badly.
I wish you luck!
Awww poor baby 👶🏻 hopes she gets better xxx
God bless the children and the amazing staff!
I really hope these little warrior can survive throughout whole.. I hope i can help them out something instead of.. I can understand the feeling i have a son going throught this my younger also 1x too
Awwwww theses child’s are so brave & strong I pray to god that they will all get better 🙏🏽
Kids is really the biggest soft spot I have
Im Indonesian,and i hope Indonesian hospital service will be this good. I mean hospital service in Indonesia already good these days but just hoping for more progress
Amen to that. Everyone deserves to get excellent treatment like these children.
Up until now I actually never thought of the psychological downfalls these kids have while experiencing these procedures and staysin hospital. My heart ❤
A lot end up developing medical PTSD, I know a few people with it
Wishing them all lots of happiness and good health.
You ALL are Wonderful God bless 💕
Hai... no words can express how painful
Solute to all these doctors .They all are very nice and the way they deal with children and their families are admirable....
I also want to be a doctor insha Allah
Love you all staff from Pakistan 💞
I’m 18 but if that were me I’d like to be treated like I’m 5 and go along with it
I think she might be in the lower IQ range or something tho
Pediatric age bracket ranges from 0 to 18 years of age. And even if you go beyond 18 like 19 or 20, pediatric staff could still give medical attention to you. So the 17yr old girl being in a pediatric ward is completely normal.
She is on lots of pain meds, she is very hard of hearing. She had 7 HOUR OPEN HEART SURGERY with general anesthesia. She is in quite a bit of post surgical pain. (I worked for 5 years on the CCU/ ICU step down post open heart surgery floor) All of those issues could be impacting her mental status not to mention her oxygenation and post surgery emotional regulation. It is quite common to have confusion, depression, memory issues and anxiety issues post open heart surgery, especially if there were surgical complications on the table. Due to being on a bypass machine as well as extended general anesthesia. Give the girl a break. She is a hero. ❤
I'm 20 years old, and once a time I came to the ICU via ambulance I was brought to the pediatric ward due to the fact that I look younger and in the end, I stayed there in my hospital stay.
Even when kristy tan has too stay in the intensive care unit she’s still having a positive vibe ❤
These children are very brave a d I don't know how the parents cope love and best wishes to all
thank you for the video, hope that we can see another ward
+suci nilam sari you can check out this video on trauma surgeons ruclips.net/video/S6mNZwV4WaE/видео.html
Kristy is so sweet ❤
I agree
It is good to see an up to date hospital for children there. I wonder sometimes ;how up to date hospital care is in other countries. Sometimes practices are even better than the US. Some can be very progressive. I am glad for that.
It is so hard to watch children begin their lives sufering so muc😢😢
I Wonder How XinLin Is Now? Any Update on CNA, TV or News?
"Maybe I can help cut it?"
"No. Definitely not."
Same here didnt let family or doctors touch my hair
Edit: Kristy is fighter
As a parent, I hope I never have to make a decision of letting my child go......so heartbreaking
Im lucky cus im currently sufferring from Thrombocyt Openia and i went into an A class room when I was 6. I wouldnt want my condition to worsen.
Worth watching 👑
heartbreaking
Qué terrible debe ser para esos padres ver a sus niños enfermitos
Just imagine if they suffered from poverty. Seeing your loved ones die because you don't have money for treatment.
When Christy pushed the ink it exploded on the nurses hand hehe
Hay niños que viven con respiracion mecanica durante años, a xin lin creo k podia haber vivido con respirador para siempre, hay mas personas así, que pena 😢
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Do they have free health care in Singapore?
I dont know that pain after heart surgery would be considered a complication but rather a guarantee Singapore is a very developed country they must have advanced pain management options for short term use after major surgery. So she developed traumatic chylothorax? Yikes how unfortunant. Are they not doing an embolization since this happened after surgery its likely the trauma of surgery that caused it which means it should be easily treatable and have a great outcome. But I wasnt aware that its likely to treat itself with rest and nothing by mouth
“ I don’t care about myself, I care about my son” ahh broke my heart
be brave
Aliya poor sweetie, I worked in Leukaemia ward and everyone parents, Dr's had to wear long sleeve plastic gowns, masks and hand sterilization before going near a patient. Unfortunately I see her mum not wearing gown, hat or gloves. I know it's hard, but they get MRSA very easily and they can be fatal.
Ugh this is so saddd
Sad 😢
i was there for appendix surgery
Oh my god!!!...😱😰😥😓🙏🏻
I hate to see children suffering!😔
SPOILER ALERT
Xin Lin does get to go home :)
She died :(
Lollipop Gacha how do u know can u give me like a vid or the website u found the information frm
@@kermit6405 she is right it was shown on another episode you may have already seen it but just in case you didn't here is the link but beware it's heart breaking ruclips.net/video/ApY90AWSsHE/видео.html
Best spoiler ever
Xin lin 😥😥😥😥
Francisse Elegino she’s doing soo much better!! I’m soo happy 💛
Poor children
But aorta coarctation doesn't require open heart surgery unless she also had valvular dysfunctions too! usually, a ballon is put to open up an aorta unless i don't understand
I'm no medical professional but they mention she has many other health problems maybe oneof them prevented that
🙌
Spinal muscular atrophy is unfortunately, not rare.
Sunny Quackers my niece passed from SMA 10 years ago. When she was born the docs said she would not live past her 1st b’day and she was 1 week short of her 18 birthday when she died.
kristy is sweet
Poor babies 😭
In singapore is it most common for women to pursue specialties in child related disciplines? Or is there a majority of women overall in medical positions? I was wondering because it seems women outnumber men like 5 to 1 and many are doctors. Is this just the childrens section or is it an overall trend
It's definitely an overall trend in nursing globally because historically, caring was seen as women's work, but the ratio of male nurses is improving
“ sHeS a VerY sTrOnG sHIsTer”
* was a joke*
No one should have to go through this, especially kids. Stay strong and happy!
I don’t think I can work in any hospital or medical field because I have a phobia of vomit.
She must be assisted with Zoglensma as she is Suffering from Spino Muslcular Atropy?
It doesn't work on all types of the disease. The little angel passed away in the end. 😔🌹
@@NickanM its for only SMA. But her SMA must be advanced.
RIP sweetie 🌹
i want to got persnal contact nd conversation with you my sister is servivng with backproblm nd unble to sit nd walk i want she should bhe treated under this docter
Where country is this?
Singapore
Wait the umm profile on start.. is that a children seem like an adult
Sabrina Lik Pediatric age bracket ranges from 0 to 18 years of age. And even if you go beyond 18 like 19 or 20, pediatric staff could still give medical attention to you. So Kristy, the 17yr old girl, being in a pediatric ward is completely normal.
@@rainedrops29 ohh I get it.. thanks
🙏👁️♥️🐢🤗♥️เมือวานผมดูจาก กล่อง Came here today and came to comment. Greetings.. my friends and many other sick cakes.🙏👁️
how can philippines have this kind of hospital and tremendous staff
Donna Sanchez I believe this is from Singapore
It is
It’s not Philippines. This is singapore
i know its not in the philippines i was just asking if it is possible to have that kind of hospital in the philippines
Donna Sanchez Oh idk I’ve never went to Philippine
Wait Christie is deaf
Hearing loss, not completely deaf.
WHY r u tilling pepole and KIDS NOT CRY THATS WONG
Kristy looks gloomy at the start but she looks sweet person
I'm sorry if this comes off as ignorant but why is everyone speaking English? Is it something the TV directors asked the people to do to make the show have more widespread appeal or do people in Singapore speak English in day-to-day life.
Yep, English is the first language in Singapore but most also learn a second language (typically their mother tongue e.g. Chinese, malay, Tamil)
@@HighKrasher thanks for the reply. i know most asian countries teach english as a second language so it was a bit of a surprise to find one that uses english as its primary language.
@@blazingkhalif2 yea the early government had the foresight to make English the working language in Singapore!
What about the dr.s that have hurt you would you forgive them for the Sexuallassult and other things that they did to you
feel better ❤️🩹 god is there with you the whole time
