Birthday present...

Hajar's 8th birthday is on this coming Friday.. since last week lagi dia dah cakap... mama nanti nak bagi Hajar hadiah birthday jangan cakap hadiah apa ya. mama bagi Hajar surprise ya. mama balut hadiah tu pastu baru bagi kat Hajar. mama balut dgn kertas balut hadiah warna purple-purple tau. Amboi-amboi...

Untuk tidak menghampakan harapan si bongsu yang macam-macam kerenah ni.. I pun mengiyakan jelah... "alright Hajar, nanti mama balut hadiah Hajar bagi Hajar surprise".

Tahun lepas, Hajar dapat hadiah tapi tak surprise sebab dah cakap nak bagi apa and also tak balut pun. Alaa... hadiah beg more (betul ke I eja ni)girl yang warna pink-pink tu... yang banyak jual sekarang ni tu... 

Yang bestnya lagi... yesterday babah nya pulak cakap yang Hajar pun dah mintak hadiah birthday from babah, pun nak surprise jugak. Jangan bagi tahu dulu hadiah apa. Dekat kakak Nadia dia pun cakap jugak!

Oklah Hajar. We'll make you surprise on this Friday. Yesterday after work, babah, nadia and me pergilah kedai gift kat Giant Senawang tu, we all pun belilah hadiah sorang satu including satu hadiah for sarah untuk bagi kat Hajar. Sarah ada kat rumah dan tak tahu apa-apa pun.. So, this Friday, insyaallah, Hajar akan dapat hadiah misteri from all of us in the family. Sure senyum sampai telinga! Just wait and see..

Apalah agaknya ya hadiah anda untuk yang tersayang?



Scoliosis

Scoliosis?? apa benda nya ni?? I pun tak tahu sebelum ni.... tapi sekarang dah tahulah serba sedikit... ianya bukanlah penyakit tapi medical term untuk spinal deformity.

kisahnya begini...

On last Saturday, my second daughter, Sarah had an appointment dengan orthopaedic specialist kat KPJ specialist hospital kat Seremban. I managed to slot in the appointment for her on that day.. sebabnya ialah beberapa minggu sebelum tu my hubby and me, we noticed that Sarah posture makin tak berapa tegak dan lurus. Even since last year pun Sarah ni kalau duduk ke, berdiri ke, berjalan ke mesti macam tak nak tegak-tegak .. macam malas-malas je... yang paling obvious is belakang dia, kat tulang belikat tu tak seimbang, sebelah kedalam dan sebelah lagi tu terkeluar...

Mula-mula I fikir dia macam nak hide herself sebab among her friends.. dia ni memang tinggi.. for her age yang baru nak masuk 13 tahun. Nampak macam she's taller than me now! I am 5' 2" and her height must be taller than that.

I bawak dia jumpa Dr Wan Hazmy and after explaning to him pasal Sarah the doctor suruh dia buat forward bend test... bahu dia masih seimbang antara kiri dan kanan... then the doctor mention that ini adalah symptom SCOLIOSIS. First time dengar perkataan ni... after that kena buat X-Ray. After seeing the X-ray, the curve of the spine is then measured, and roughly kecondongan tulang tu cuma 3 degree sahaja buat masa ni. tak severe lagi. Alhamdulillah...

This is not Sarah's X-Ray, but her one is exactly like this. Notice tak the spine curvature macam huruf 'S'. Image from www.iscoliosis.com

Next appointment lagi 3 bulan. Doctor nak measure lagi her spinal curv. Tengoklah nanti macam mana. I doakan the abnormality wouldn't get worse. The doctor assured her that she still can continue her atheletic and recommended her to continue with the swimming class. Bagus jugak sebab sekarang kat secondary school ada swimming pool and tak payah lah I bawak dia gi public pool selalu.

Anyone outside there ada tak experience dengan Scoliosis? Bolehlah share experience dengan I if you don't mind.
