Dedicated to Ayah

As Salam,

JPMC - 23 December 2009

After his valve replacement in 2002, he has become heavier and heavier (see above pic).  Moving from one place even short distance, he will be out of breath. 

30 Jan 2010 - At Giant

Chest infections in 2009, the start of him getting thinner.

27 Oct 2010 - Ripas (Emak & ayah)

2010 was the peak where he was in and out of hospital due to infections and could not pass urine. He was referred to Ripas by JPMC.  This was the longest he stayed in hospital and still using the uring bag after discharged.  It was taken off but after 4 hours waiting still he did not urinate.  They put back the urine bag. 

After the urine bag was remove, he was ok for about 2 weeks or a month, after that he continues to loose weight drastically and always sleep and sometimes confuse and not recognising those surrounding him.  It is difficult to understand his speech as he mumbles.


5 Jan 2011 - very thin now



6 Jan 2011

Due to lack of food and water intact, he becomes very frail and very dehydrated and was put on antibiotic.

He is a man of few words.  He was born on July 14 1932.  In 2011, he will be 79 years old.  As a young man, he was handsome (still is to me), tall, always well dress when he goes out, has a sense of humour, strict, but most of all he loves us.  He is a quiet guy who does not like to reveal much about himself.

Working with an oil company, we were ok.  Having eight children to support is a big responsibility.  But never once did I hear him sigh or complained etc.

During school holidays, he always brought us to BSB to museum, etc.  Even though we all cramped in the car or sat at the back of the wagon, we would go.  Kids those days even going for sight seeing they were excited.

During his off days, he likes to go fishing.  He provided us with what he can, he gave us more if and when he has extra income and spoilt us rotten.  Even when he doesn't have $$, he doesn't ask for help.  He is the eldest among his siblings of seven.  He has one adopted sister.

To me he is always a mystery because I couldn't read or understand him.  Till now, I still can't.  Only my youngest sister who has been there looking after him and my mom who knows his behaviour.  I thank my sis for looking after him though I didn't say it out loud.

For you ayah:

"Segala puji bagi Mu Ya Allah.  Dari Mu kami datang dan kepada Mu kami kembali.  Ya Allah, sembuhkan lah penyakit ayah ku seperti sediakala.  Ampun kan dosa dosa nya.  Berikan lah dia kesihatan tubuh badan agar dia dapat bergerak seperti biasa.  Permudahkan lah pergerakan dan pertuturan nya Ya Allah.  Hanya kepada Mu kami memohon Ya Allah.  Perkenankanlah permohonan hambu mu Ya Allah. 

Ya Allah kau ampunilah dosa-dosa kami, sembuhkanlah penyakit-penyakit kami. Hanya padaMulah tempat kami memohon. Engkaulah yang kami sembah.  Amin."

Ayah, we missed your laughters and jokes.  Your grandchildren miss you.

Get well soon...he is still in hospital
