Update from yesterday

Nate, sorry for the late update. Was busy the whole day. Ardani is stable, and so far all the infective cultures came back as negative. But because of the severe brain injury, likely he’ll be in that semiconscious state for a long time. For now he will need the permanent tracheostomy tube (which usually tahan for 6 months with care), and nasal tube feeding. To prepare for care at home, kena ada ripple mattress, suction machine as well. Our nurses ada numbers for the sellers, can ask from them. Physiotherapy will have to be done by family members. Even with home care nurses, visit usually every 2 weeks.

I am so sorry. I wish i had better news.

2 weeks on

Every Sunday feels like reliving a nightmare all over again. it's been 2 weeks and we have started discussing long term palliative care for you, Man. Painful decisions had to be made but do know that whatever it is, we will make sure that you get the best care okay.

I hope you can hear our prayers. I cried so much for the past 2 days but I promise I'll be stronger for you.

Ardani Aiman bin Mohamed

And this page remains unwritten...

I thought I've gone through the darkest days of my life but 12 July is the worst day of my life.

Wake up soon baby brother. Kak Amy is waiting for you. We all are. 

Safe to say that I have a favorite plant shop near my house and now that I am slowly reconnecting with my friends, potted plants make a good gift.  

Brunch at Jibby&Co

I can safely say that today is the first time the 4 of us dined outside. The feeling is not the same because I'm only thinking about going home and silently judging people who are not wearing masks. But I try to console myself - let them be, what matters is I protect myself and my family first. 

Another thing, we've been experimenting with cooking and now it feels like there's really no point of dining out anymore. :)
