Doctor's updates


The appointment with the kidney specialist, Dr. Halim when fine yesterday. I kinda drove the roads of KL like a mad man trying to make it to the hospital before the clock tick 4.30pm. Thank god, I made it on time. Everyone was in the state of relief as Dr. Halim ensure that progress is good although her condition is very sick. Good news is her brain was not infected. He stress on the fact that her life needs to be saved first before her kidney or anything else pertaining to her initial condition. They will continue giving her the breathing aid using the ventilator to ease her a bit since her blood pressure and breathing would rapidly increase in times when she tried to gain her consciousness. There are some infection in her lungs though which has to be treated before they could transfer her to the kidney ward and provide her treatment specifically for her kidney and SLE disease. She is expected to wake up in a day or two and soon after she does, they will take off the ventilator and transfer her to ward. There's some possibilities that she might be having permanent dialysis in future if she survived this but he didn't want to comment further on that because things is still in the early stage to confirm on that.

Miracle was starting to take place that evening at 6.30pm when she slowly starts to open her eyes though she was still very weak. A progress that brings tears to our eyes. The doctor was expecting her to do so by tomorrow but the fighter in her makes her try to beat the odds by responsing a day earlier. May Allah give her the strength and courage to face her disease as we all would give her all the support that she wanted. Amin.
