The 4th trip

Another nite in Bangkok...the flight was delayed..reached Bangkok about 11pm..We are really tired since we went back home sharp at 5.30pm..6.30pm moved to LCCT...

We went to Central Word after the doctor's appointment..Bangkok is on sale, my friends!!..we grabbed 501 jeans (25% off), and Dania got her some new clothing from Guess Kids (40% off)..and we have our VAT refund at the airport..


Update : Dania's feet looks good and amazing..This will be Dania's final casting since her tendon and heel cord are both soft...we've ordered Ponseti shoe from Iowa, US. We need to get the shoe before off to Bangkok again, if not another casting session will be applied to avoid relapsed. In Malaysia, these shoes are used without the brace. I have no idea what is the purpose of having Ponseti shoes without brace. I think Malaysian Doctors love to do magic or gimmick on this shoe., hahaha...Dania will be in this shoe full time for the 1st 2-3 months, and after that, to avoid relapse, she need to wear the shoe during nite time until she reach 5 years old.

Dania's feet after 2 surgeries done in HKL.

Dania's feet after the 3rd casting without any surgery done in Bangkok.

eh we fly with AK887 in Man Utd edition plane..hehe



Need your help my dear readers,
I am thinking to increase the awareness of this Ponseti method to help Malaysian babies born with clubfoot to be corrected with the CORRECT Ponseti Method. I've been emailing to Msian Orthopedics Assoc, and some other Orthopedics doctors, but no reply from them so far..I'm very sad..Dr Ponseti suggested Dr Amnuay to do workshop in KL (which he did) or Malaysian to send a team to see him and stay for couple weeks to learn this method. Anyone can help me?

The 3rd Trip


We spent overnight in Bangkok…we walked along the Sukhumvit Road and explore the streets..We browsed the Arab Street near Nana…Wowww they sell pornographic movies openly..erkk ‘gayat sikit’…Dania didn’t enjoy the trip I guess because she fell asleep…

Kakti – u remember I ut on police uniform when we took the family photo? Hehe, I found it in Bangkok…They sell in the form of army dress, army skirts, S.W.A.T uniform etc…sold at 499 Baht…My hubby kata mahal so we didn’t buy…But it’s cute to see those uniforms…
We didn’t buy anything but we ate the Siam Mango and kebab…sedapnyeeee …our next trip target is Central World…

Update – Dania’s feet looks 80% ok…now flatten…I think she amazed with her right feet because during the cast-off time, she looked down to see her both feet standing steadily…Tak sabar nak tunggu another 2 weeks…Dania’s feet will be cast off and the braces will be on…Yes, she went through a lot in her tiny life…I hope when she grows up, she will be a tough woman, tougher than me of course…

The 2nd trip...;the amazing race

we took half day..the flight was at 1.40pm, reach at 2.45pm (Bangkok time), Appointment at 5.15pm..flight back was at 8.20pm..

Yes, the amazing race as my high school friend; shell named it...haha...will not be repeated sebab i'm recovering from the Brain Tumor operation...my Life is so precious and adventurous...hehe...

Dania casting removal was done in the hospital..she is aggressively crying all the way since the basin is so damn big..her right look so fantastic and corrected...but we just cant stop there...from 7 planned casting, doctor shorten it to 5 casting since Dania's feet progress is good...therefore, 3 more to go...then after than Dania is free from casting...insya allah..

I will hv my 3rd follow up check up on 31st May...followed by scanning...do not know whether is CT Brain scan or MRI...but I'm ok...recovering but sometimes ada pening2 sikit since the scar tuh still healing kot...tak perani lagik tgk my scar..haha..

We are going to Bangkok again on Wesak Day for the 3rd time..

till then...

The First Trip to Bangkok



We arrived at bangkok at 6pm..Dania's appointment is on 6th May at 9.30am...Amaze with the Bumrungrad Hospital. Once we arrived at Orthopedic Centre, we've been welcomed by the friendly nurses and of course Dr Amnuay himself. By the way he is also a Doctor Golf, who can treat Golf Amatuer injuries.

As expected, he is very warm and friendly with the kids. He told us that a team from US and himself hv been to Malaysia to promote the Posseti Method at UH few years back. Hmm..I think Malaysian Doctor is so damn lazy to study further more..haha that's why Malaysian Doctor love to do surgeries as a short cut solution and they think they can just cut ppl's feet like cutting a fish...dont u think so?He keep on asking is it too difficult for us to come all the way to Bangkok. He looks so worry but We just dont mind at all anyway as long as Dania's problem can be fixed at his good hand.

Hey the bill is only 4,000 Baht...around Rm400...very reasonable..We can see ppl over the world come to this hospital for treatment...Pak Arab, Koreans, Japanese etc...and they have Starbucks in their Hospital...amazing huh?
We are going to Bangkok again, every week, at least 6 times more...

We are going to bangkok...


Dania was born with mild clubfoot at her right feet..On her 2nd day of life, she has a splint on her right feet..Then we decided to bring her to HKL since at HTJ Seremban, her progress is not so convincing..

It's been a year we've been follow up with HKL, 2 surgeries hv been done..Yes it is very hurtful when I hv to sent her to the OT but anyway, I have to be brave enough to go through this..She is healthy and normal anyway despite of her premature baby status and her clubfoot thingy..and most of her time , her feet is casted..

I planned to do my MBA this year, but I think I need to postponed until Dania's feet is corrected and able to walk as other normal baby..(yes, I did not go to the MARA interview)..

We've been communicated with Dr Matthews Dobbs from Missouri USA and Dr Posseti of Iowa USA(the man who invented the Posseti method to correct clubfoot problem without a surgery), and he has recommended Dr Amnuay Jirasikul from Bangkok...So, we are going there this Monday 5th May...This doctors are amazing doctors, they gave u a reply within 48 hours..Can Malaysian doctors do that? I dont think so!!

Just to express my feeling towards Malaysian Doctors in Paedetrics Clinic in HKL, who claimed they used Posseti Method...I think they need to go school again or I should ask Dr Posseti give them a spot check..and please dont think that all parents who seek treatment from HKL is stupid and can not afford to get 2nd opinion (buat muka taikk pulak mcm dia sorang terrer!!)...sorry Doc, ini zaman technology macam-macam info kat internet!!!

Tinggal kenangan

I need to write this for my future memories.. It is hard to say goodbye to the house u once called home that compiles all good and bad memor...
