SINGAPORE – In a touching turn of events as the year draws to a close, local actor and DJ Mark Lee's youngest daughter, Calynn, finds herself in the hospital for a health screening.

Despite the circumstances, the brave 11-year-old insists her mother, Catherine Ng, should not miss out on New Year’s celebrations due to her hospital stay.

Catherine Ng's Social Media Reassurance

Catherine Ng took to social media on December 31 to share reassuring updates and memorable moments with Calynn during their hospital visit.

The concerned mother confirmed that her daughter was doing fine as they prepared for the routine health assessment.

Calynn's Health Journey

Calynn was diagnosed with glomerulonephritis, a rare kidney condition, back in 2018.

The good news is that her health has significantly improved over the years, allowing her to approach this health check with bravery.

Calynn's Grace and Resilience

"The main reason for this screening was to get a fuller picture of her health and to make sure everything is within the normal range," Ng stated in her heartfelt post.

"Calynn remained calm during her time in the hospital and handled numerous tests with grace."

A Heartwarming Exchange

Remarkably, staff commented on Calynn's resilience, noting that she didn't cry during the blood draw—something she has grown accustomed to as these necessary tests have become a monthly routine.

A particularly poignant moment arose when Calynn encouraged her mother to celebrate the New Year with friends while she stayed in the hospital.

"Mum, you go and celebrate with your friends, I can stay in the hospital alone," Calynn said, leaving her mother both touched and heartbroken.

Support from the Community

Ng expressed her sentiments, wishing her daughter health and safety: "Let’s jiayou together," using a traditional Mandarin phrase that means to encourage and support one another.

Outpouring of Love

The post generated an outpouring of love and encouragement from friends and fellow celebrities, including actresses Yvonne Lim, Huang Biren, and Apple Hong, who praised Calynn's maturity and wished her a speedy recovery.

Looking Ahead

As the new year approaches, the Lee family remains hopeful for Calynn's continued good health and stronger days ahead.

With the support of family, friends, and their vibrant community, they are ready to embrace the challenges together.
