We went to see Yusuf this morning. Alhamdulillah he looks good. He no longer needs the machine to support his breathing and his drugs have been reduced to only one. And I think they will try to cut that off too. 

He opened his eyes today, we talked to him and told him we have registered his birth certificate. I did not cry at all today, maybe because my baby looked so strong, as if he doesn't even have CDH. I love that the nurse who took care of him put on his dinasour hat that we bought. He's also wearing the diapers that we brought... And i notice the nurse applied baby lotion on him so his skin isn't so dry. 

Last night we received a call from Dr. Alexis. They asked for our consent to transfer platlet to Yusuf to increase his platlet count. My husband gave the green  light and we told them we were coming the next morning.

Alhamdulillah, his platlet count increased and they were no negative reactions to it. He still needs to pee a lot before the operation. I'm feeling more and morw optimistic... Yusuf will make it InshaaAllah.

We also talked to the Prof. Dr. Yik that wi perform the surgery. He told us that they want to wait until tomorrow or Friday and see how Yusuf is doing before going for the surgery. He also told us that there is a probability that the hole isn't too big/severe and he can probably do it without having to go for surgery. He will use another method (something like a teropong). So less scar...i think. 

Alhamdulillah, praises to Allah swt. Semoga Yusuf's health keeps improving and that he will recover from all this as soon as possible.

Allahumma yassir wala tu'assir, robbi tammim bilkhoir

Home soon.

In two days, I'll be going home for good and I am actually feeling quite sad. It's quite funny because when I came here 10 months ago, I did not like this place at all. It's expensive, it's hard to get around, and I kept comparing it with Wellington and how I wished I was in Wellington instead of Sydney. But slowly, I grew to like living here but now I have to come home. Oh well, that's life I guess. Maybe in the future ada rezeki I get to go somewhere else? InshaaAllah.  I'm so not looking forward to go back to work haha. Can I just be a student forever please?

Hypnobirthing

When I first found out I was pregnant, one of the first people I told was a colleague here in UniKL. Her name is Dr. A. I knew her because we had to attend a meeting together at one of the institutes. We were talking about random stuff when I suddenly told her about my pregnancy (I have no idea why I told her). She told me how much she loves the process of being pregnant and urged me to find out about Hypnobirthing/Gentlebirthing. She then told me how she made the decision to give birth to her second child using HVBAC - Home Vaginal Birth After Caesarian (read her story here: My HBVAC Hypnobirth Story   One of the reasons she made this decision was because of her traumatic first child birth experience. She, however, stressed the importance of being well informed about the process of childbirth etc. Anyway, a few days later she emailed me two e-books on gentle birthing and told me that I must read it!  I recently got around to start reading the books she emailed me (Th...

Alhamdulillah

Just a quick post- I just received back my marks for two of my units. Alhamdulillah, I think I did pretty well. I managed to get a Distinction (which is equivalent to an A grade) for Sociology and Education, which is still a huge surprise for me because I sucked at Sociology during my Alevel years (not even kidding, I used to get Cs all the time and my final result for Sociology for Alevels was also a C). Alhamdulillah a Distiction is more than I had expected so I'm very happy! I was actually very worried about this particular unit because the context is very Australian. All my assignments had to do with the Australian education system so I had to learn it from scratch. The unit also only had three on-campus classes and most of the time we had to do a lot of independent learning and listen to online lectures. Anyway, Alhamdulillah I am glad it is over and I did well. As for the other unit (Advanced Pedagogy), I only got a Credit for it (equivalent to a B) but I am st...
