Oya. Just oya.

Suddenly i have the urge to share these videos of oya. This was recorded last month in pantai batu buruk.

I used to keep her progress to myself. Fearing others may think that i talk big one. But lately, i get the feeling that some people needs motivation.

Well, those who have seen or know oya before the age of 4 years old, will know that she was not able to stand at all.

Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at 2 years old after a traumatic birth experience which caused oya to be admitted in NICU for 2 weeks, we were told to not hold our hope high. Seriously, she was hanging to dear life those days in NICU. she was on constant medication and she was on the 2nd drug when we were told that she might not make it. Hokay? 50-50 org kata.

We authorised the doctor to administer the 3rd drug and alhamdulillah, the seizures were gone and she could breathe on her own.

To say that oya was not severely affected, is to belittle the efforts done by us, her therapist, family members and my ever loyal babysitter. We had rough days, financially,emotionally.and physically. Back then, there was no MYCP nor any support group till 2010/2011. i had nowhere to refer to except for occasional information in the internet.

But yeah, we did held our hope high and i remembered bringing her to local tukang urut whatnots.

And yeah, we do have our worries and obstacles. It was not easy.

She may not be bedridden and need wheelchair all the time, but do not ever say that her case is not so serious, so-so. We worked hard,prayed hard,sacrificed  and voila..at the age of 4, she started to stand.

Now, at the age of 7 we can see what she is able to do. Aloooo...don't la.compare with normal kids.

My intention is.not to show off, nor belittle others. I just want to show that with hard work and prayers, fate can turn around. Trust me. Been there.

Video: to upload later.

MYCP @ Taman Tasik Titiwangsa

It was actually World Physical Theraphy Day 2014 - Fit To Take Part event.

Should have started with brisk walk but being a so-not-a-morning-person-after-dawnprayer, obviously i only reached there at around 10.30a.m. MYCP table selling all MYCP stuffs was already set-up and of course, there was food.

Thanks Anis for the superb Lontong Darat, Nasi Ayam and oh-so-marvelous ayam masak merah.

The event was filled with physical-health related information booth and counters including 4 tests which costed us around RM5/pax. Yeah it was worth it but the food was more appealing at that point of time.

so instead of counting how many times i breath after exercise, i chose to count how many ayam masak merah i could finish...yeayyy..

Tengokla je la gambar2 kami...mesti dekat dengan food kan..jangan orang kata MYCP and Food - bagai lagu dan irama..

There was a wedding ceremony nearby and our jaw dropped when the AOC - Alphard Owbers club cars started to march in. waaaaa....so many wooo...there was also rollerblading group and you can rent the blades for RM5/30minutes. Thre was this TTSC as well - Titiwangsa skate club kot..
budak 2 orang neh pun nak jugak skate la kan. akku dengan Fid confirm dah bakar berjuta2 kalori di hari itu.

so, eventhough sebenarnya MYCP tak buat apa2 event sangat hari tuh, pegi pun sebab dapat jemputan, it was fun.

lepak2 dan bercerita2 with friends in similar shoes katanya.

so, tak sabar bak tunggu Picnic in the park on Oct 11th, same place.

see you there.

Kenali CP. Sayangi Kami.

hari ini Oya tak mau ke sekolah lagi seperti biasa di SCASFT, PJ.
bila ditanya kenapa, dia hanya menggeleng.

tapi dalam masa yang sama setiap pagi Oya merenung ke arah SKKL yang hanya bersebelahan dgn rumah.

Bila melihat kanak2 lain berbaris setiap pagi dengan kawan2, berbaju sekolah, aku tahu dia amat teringin. Hampir setiap pagi juga Oya akan berkata " nak ikut".

Teringin untuk berjalan ke sekolah. atau mungkin jugak sambil dipimpin oleh abangnya.

Hati ibu mana yang tidak terguris melihat situasi ini hampir setiap pagi sebelum ke tempat kerja.

Bayangkan permulaan hari kami dengan nada sedih, tapi kami masih harus menjadi produktif?

Berilah peluang anak2 CP ke sekolah.
Kenali CP. Sayangi Kami.

ps Tuhan tolong lembutkan hati dia.
