She is my sister, who just had an open Heart surgery few months ago.
Yes, I would like to say that she is quite, extreme and absolutely the strong one.
She just had a valve replacement for her mitral valve (replace with tissue valve from a kind COW i would say) which is the left side of the heart and she also undergoes a repairment of her tricuspid valve which is in the right side of the heart. So that's mean both of her heart right and left has been 'cut' by the surgeons. Huhh
Masa operation tu, kakak sulung kami sekeluarga ada kat Mekah, performing Umrah. Indah kan rancangan Allah? Dia hantar kakak kami ke sana untuk berdoa. Ke tempat yang paling suci.
And adik beradik yang lain, semua berkumpul kat IJN. Abang and kakak second aku datang KL sehari lepas operation kalau tak silap aku, sebab dorang keje.
And yeah, after that very major 8hours of surgery, we thought this will be the last time for us to see her 'menangis kesakitan', but unfortunately, after a week (abt 5days in ICU & 3days in ward), she was suddenly tak sedarkan diri as her heart stops beating for three seconds. 3 secs are quite long okay. But Alhamdulillah, Kun Fayakun, she still has the second chance to see the world, to see her family, as she has survived by the CPR that has been done by a few of IJN nurses.
Masa dia tak sedarkan diri tu, aku and umi ayah dah balik Kelantan. Sebab umi ayah dah start keje balik and aku dah start semester 2. Suddenly dapat call dari akak aku yg ada kat IJN waktu tu, bgtau yg Kak Ilah xsedarkan diri and dah masuk ICU semula.
Esok nya, Umi ayah terus terbang ke KL, then aku ke sana jugak, tapi pergi masa weekend dengan abang aku.
Ingatkan dah okay,
But then, Allah still want to test her and kami sekeluarga. Since her heartbeat was very slow and extremely weak, (30beats/min) she needs to wear a permanent pacemaker (battery) in order for her to survive instead from her heart to stop beating again.
And after having a second minor procedure for her pacemaker insertion, and after staying at IJN for a month, she is now in the process of recovery. Alhamdulillah for all of this tests Oh Allah.
And if this happens to me, Aku tak rasa aku masih hidup skrg. Because I'm not that strong.
Aku yang ulang alik ke sana tiap2 minggu pun boleh rasa penat. Bayangkan, lepas habis kelas hari Khamis, terus ke airport, amik flight malam. Then esoknya pagi2 lagi (9/10am) dah gerak ke IJN, and akan stay kat hospital tu sampai lepas Isyak. Tiap2 hari rutin sama. Start dari dia admit ward sebelum operation, sampai dah discharge. Sebulan jugak la kitorang satu family melepak kat IJN. Sape yang tak penat kan. Bayangkan aku naik about 16 flights within 2 months. Huhuhhh
Tapi aku tau, Allah had chosen an exact person. Because until now, she is still smiling, and not giving up to live even once.
Allah and all of us love you, Kak Ilah. Stay strong. May all of us live together in Jannatul Firdaus soon 💞
