To all of you out there, Selamat Hari Raya AidilFitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin. Enjoy Raya, Buckle Up & Drive safe!!

Yeah, Dania's napping time...:)
Oh ya, Dania got blister on her head keeps us worry since dah merebak kat badan and we brought her to Paed. He gave us antibiotic, wash lotion and cream...atleast we can see the improvement rather than keep on washing the blister with HKL's prescription...uuWwweeekkkk!!!!!Opps, I'm fasting!!

Merdeka
Yesterday we went to KLIA, sending hubby's nephew to Canada for further study.He will be there for 4 years.[In the photo, he stand next to me, in suit of course].So he is the 2nd person in their family pursuing study in the foreign land other than hubby.In their group, I saw only 5 girls - 4 Malay girls and 1 Indian girl. I hope they will come back with a good degree, good attitude and a better person.I just told him 2 important things which are the usual study hard and jangan tinggal sembahyang. My hubby tak sempat nak salam with him since hubby busy entertaining his princess at the book shop. I looked at them impressively as they looked so clean, naive and smart.
Yeah, many few years back, I'm supposed to pursue my study in oversea, and my first attempt in Banting was failed as I didn't get the minimum criteria. The 2nd attempt was in Kolej Unitek, where I did secured a better result, but the economic down turn fails me .Hmm..I broke my parent's hope and my own.When I scored a Dean List in almost every semester (except last sem) in PPP, my dad told me I was too late to prove him.My mom was speechless and I found her writing to my elder sister who was in Kiwi Island telling that she was so sad with me and so embarrassed with her relatives since they keep on asking her why Ina is still not flying. Did the letter reach you, sis?That time, I was so sad, my then again, unlike any other friends, I managed to complete my degree locally.
During this dooms time, my parent has ignored me and I didn't get any pocket money but lucky me the sponsor's self-allowance was sufficient. But when I looked back, I think I've a strong heart to face all these challenges and ...
Alhamdullilah I did secured a good life now without morale support from my own parents during my college years. Oh ya, on my convocation day, I went with my husband and my roommate, Caza. Betul, aku memang pendendam, so what?
I hope Dania's life would be better.If she got a sister or a brother one day, I hope I will treat them both equally.I hope I will not chase them out from the house if they are not employed for just 4 months or coming home late for attending 2 job interviews in whole day. Yes, please remind me as I've problem with my memory. No, I don't have undiagnosed psychiatric problem, your ass.[F&^%$#you!]

Her first shoe

We finally bought Dania's first shoe...we went to Clark First Shoes,Osh Kosh, but it was so difficult to make up our mind and we end up buying her Crocs...Dania clubfoot's feet is 1 size smaller than the normal left feet...in other words, her left feet is size 4 and her right feet is in size 3...Her left feet also can fit into size 5 for coming couple of months...so we decided to buy Size 5 instead..so u can imagine how big is the sandal in her right feet..She can't wear the real shoe since her right feet might get off easily ..that's we bought her sandal..Itupon, ada sekali tertanggal when we were in Ikea..

We went to Sony Shop...I found this 20' LCD and they have it in PINK!!Ho ho ho...I told Dania, I will keep my promise,if she can walk and run by end of this year, this LCD will be hers..bukan dia faham pon..tak kisah lah janji I found the smallest LCD..and the retail price is almost similar price to 32' LCD TV...
I tried to find her a dress for Hari Raya...but I can't find any...yang suka pulak is 1 year old size..Currently she can fit into 3-4 years toddler dress and I think I will keep on hunting...She has only 3 dresses for outings..kedekut betul mama ni...hahaha...
OK i need to tempah her cotton baju kurung for Hari Raya..This year theme is 'kemerahan'..hahaha

The 6th Trip To Bangkok
Look at the above photo. Her feet look amazing kan? Alhamdullilah, berkat ‘usaha tangga kejayaan’ from both of us…
Dr Amnuay told us that Dania’s feet is at perfect condition BUT he is quite annoys with Dania’s heel condition. Still tight but the feet still can be flatten.I still remember one of the specialist told us that Dania's clubfeet is shorter than the normal one, that's why kaki dia jengket. Another one pulak claimed that Dania's feet is so rigid and can not be corrected with casting and she must do another surgery(the best solution konon)...Sengal betul ...Pak Andak sey selalu kato Kueh koci Kueh Kodok, Tak ngoti, ontok-ontok...hahahaha
He said he do no want to do another release since the 2nd surgery of Dania’s feet (done in HKL) has weaken the heel. Therefore, another release of the heel cord will make Dania’s feet weaker. He taught us how to stretch Dania’s feet to improve her heel condition (which you can’t find this in HKL…;p). The another release will be the last resort and we have to try to avoid it but in HKL, it is highly recommended . Yang bestnye tuh kat HKL during the last consultation that we had , one specialist said the surgery will be done at the side of Dania’s feet, another specialist said the surgery will be done at heel area. Seriously, they do not know what are they talking about.As a parent and human being, will you confident with this 2 different opinion and recommendation?
Yes, I am stil angry with this people..;p
Dr Amnuay also worried seeing Dania still can not walk at the age of 1 year 4 months. I was about to tell him that we’ve been so naïve and has wasted Dania’s time in casting for a year in HKL where the result is so unconvincing and bad.Yes, I’m still angry. Dania still scared to walk and she loves to stand but only for few minutes.Since her feet is perfectly like normal feet, we supposed to train her to walk ‘ tatih’ daily and Dr Amnuay has allowed us to let Dania’s feet free from the shoe on daytime. Another follow up check up will be on 16th September (yes, fasting month).Oh ya, the hospital bill is only 1,200Baht @ RM120.Murahkan?
We went to Siam Paragon, Central World(again!!)...naik sky train..takde lah susah sangat...Bangkok is still on sale but I didnt buy anything, sayang duitku..:)

MR of the Brain
The result - the post contrast images do noy shows any evidence of residual tumour.The rest of the brain parenchyma is normal on both T1 and T2 images. No evidence of of any focal abnormality on the ADC map and DW1 images. The brain stem and right cerebellum are normal.
No evidence of residual or recurrent tumour in the left posterior fossa...
I'm just copying the imaging report..Alhamdullilah, in short, there is no tumor left after 6 months post brain surgery.I asked Dr Kumar whether the surgery has caused me being mentally ill.hahaha.As expected, he laughed.Anyway, he is a good doctor, one of the best neurosurgeon in Malaysia.He is confident and he made us confident to go through all this.By the way, the operation under him is so damn expensive.I hate mri..the procedure took about 30-45 minutes..and I was caughing all the time...until the radiologist asked me to hold..sangatlah gatal tekak..manage to hold so that the images can be clearly seen and diagnosed.
Actually the surgery has lead me to Mecca and pray for the correct solution to solve Dania's feet problem.See, I still can think rationally..:p

Baby Yok Shan turns one - and learns to cope
from today's the StarKLANG: Baby Lai Yok Shan cuts a pretty picture in her frilly frock as she cuddles up to her mother Nut Tuemthong.
Yok Shan, who celebrated her first birthday, looks every inch a regular, happy and bubbly baby – until one gets a glimpse of her left arm which is just a stub.
(She was born on July 23 but it was her birthday yesterday according to the Chinese Lunar calendar.)
Yok Shan lost her left arm when it turned gangrenous and dropped off after a houseman at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) inserted an intravenous needle into a muscle instead of a blood vessel when the premature baby was placed in an incubator.
Her father, mechanic Lai Kian Khee, 25, said Yok Shan does show her frustration when she cannot play with some of her toys.
“She also cries when she is unable to roll over or crawl,” said Lai.
However, Yok Shan has managed to adapt and moves on her buttocks to get around, he added.
Although all appears well for the baby and her parents, the issue of her compensation from the Government is still uncertain.
“We want to end this amicably and hope the Government will come to a just and fair quantum of compensation,” said Lai.
The Government accepted responsibility for the mishap and had offered an ex-gratia payment of RM60,000 to Yok Shan’s parents, who turned it down as they felt the amount did not do justice to Yok Shan’s suffering.
“We don’t want to prolong the issue as we’ve been told that it (a court case) may take years and we are afraid that it may effect Yok Shan emotionally as she grows up,” said Lai.
Author's review - Yes, u saw them smiling, in her heart only God knows..and I bet there is a person with heartless who can tell her 'you should be thankful that your daughter has no severe congenital problems or hole-in-heart'...It is not about not being thankful or not, but we have story to tell where others should be more coutious and carefull; being the parents or the doctors..I experienced where a trainee doctor can't find Dania's blood vessel for more than an hour when she was at NICU. Knowing a lioness mother fiercely waiting outside the treatment room, he gave up and asked the staff nurse to help.Not to condemn but there are always room for improvement or 'Kaizen'.Trainee should not be allowed to treat premature babies like Yok Shan and Dania.Coach Coach!!

I can't believe it!
'Yes, the baby girl was directed to me by Prof. Ponseti. Actually, the foot was almost corrected by a ped orthopod. I didn't do anything much. Your doctor should have received the credit.'
I disagree Doc!!
I would like to stress here that none of the doctors in HKL who has touched my daughter’s feet deserved any credit. Dr Ponseti has suggested us to see Dr Amnuay in Bangkok after seeing Dania's feet photo after 2 surgeries hv been done in HKL.
This is what Dr Ponseti commented and says 'I would recommend that the cast be trimmed back over the tops of the toes so they are free to extend. The pictures show the foot is not completely corrected. There is a high arch, the big toe is hyperextended, the equinus is not corrected and the foot is adducted. She needs a few more casts. The deformity should be corrected without further surgery. Dr. Amnuay Jirasirikul in Bangkok , Thailand is experienced in treating clubfeet using our technique. I recommend you contact him. '
We have shared Dania’s feet photo with Dr Mathews Dobbs as well and he says ‘I would not recommend a major clubfoot surgery. Your child’s feet can be corrected with casting done in the correct manner and maybe a repeat percutaneous heel cord lengthening. You should not need extensive surgery.
I personally thinks that if Dania’s foot is almost corrected as per Dr Amnuay’s email to Prof Sharaf,the treatment in Malaysia should be NOT done half way and the solution is NOT recommending the 3rd surgery which we managed to escape. What Doctors in HKL has done to my daughters such as serial of casting which there were more than 7 times (Dr Ponseti says casting more than 7 times shows the treatment is in fault), the 2 surgeries which has NOT makes the physical of the feet looks better, the stupid splint by Jabatan Cara Kerja….all of this is CRAPPP!! It is against the Ponseti Method!!
For me, Dr Amnuay is just being humble to Prof Sharaf so that it may not jeopardize their relationship. From my observations, Doctors and nurses in Thailand are very humble, empathy and friendly. Shell can confirm you this as she spent her confinement days in Bangkok and she has met Dr Amnuay. Comparing with Malaysian’s doctor quality, treatment and also personality, we preferred Doctors in Bangkok. Besides, Thai’s people are sooo soft spoken.cakap pon siap ada rhythm.
I will not recommend any of clubfoot’s parents to see Paed Orthopedics in HKL until they are proven Ponseti certified by Dr Ponseti.
