Just two little remarks here :
1/ the message should be more state-ish the action-ish here :
"you now have 37 HP" more than "you lost 5 HP" : one is skippable, the other
is not.
2/ the order is not necessary I think, but more the delay between them. The
network speed may compensate the apparent disorder : if there's only 13 ms
between the events you mentionned, the player may probably not notice. But if
that's 1.5 seconds, that's another problem ... ;-)
