Cats for adoption

Hello friends & readers.

Do you still remember that there is a family of cats for adoption at my apartment? The family of cats (the mom & the kittens) is safely foster by a friend's of my neighbourhood. I didn't saw them since last week. I tried calling them but no answer. So, I asked my neighbour the informations about the cats and actually a husband and wife came by my neighbour's house and adopt the whole family. I am happy for that and hope that the cats will live happily with their new home.
 
Thank you to all!

Cats for adoption

Hello friends and readers.

I know that I've not written way too long and to update lately. There's many things inside my mind and I want to write it and share it, but couldn't find the rite time.

Here is a picture of a family of cats. The family of cats has been outside of my house, playing, sleeping, they are cute!!! and not to forget, they poop and pee in front of my house. Everyday, I will clean their poops, cause the kittens choose my house.. (Don't know why). I assume the kittens are 2-3 weeks old.
 




I am staying in an apartment, Level 3, Ukay Perdana and already have cats. For person like me, (with medical condition) it requires an energy to bring the cats down/up for check up and etc. Most of my cats weight 5kg - 9kg. I have that problems, cause I will use my other hands to climb the stairs and so on. I am not able to add another family members (cats) cause of my own condition. So now, I need your help.
 
Anyone who read this blog, and want to adopt a family of cats, please do so. All 5 cats (the mom and the kittens). The kittens still need the mother to feed them. Message me at syahidahishak@rocketmail.com. (The adoption fee is FOC!!!)

Thank you very much!

USA Journal

Hello friends and readers. How are you guys doing today? I hope everything is good.

My trip to USA last year (October 2011) brings an unforgettable moments and memories to me. Individuals, groups and organisations have come forward and give the amount of helps that I myself cannot imagine it.

I still remember, a group of volunteer came over to my house for a visit in multiple times. The amount of efforts of the group, is countless. In fact, I cannot imagine the amount of support that this group has given to me, including in Malaysia and my trip to Los Angeles. They came to visit me before and after my trip! (Even in the hospital, ICU and also the guest center)

Check out the following link and you may know who I am talking about.

http://www.us.tzuchi.org/us/en/images/stories/Publications/e-books/us_journal/2012Fall/Download/2012Fall.pdf

Last week, this organisation was featured in Majalah 3 (TV3), on Saturday night (July, 7), with a topic called "Silent Mentor". When I saw it on TV, and the colour of their clothes, ahhh... I know it already. I stick in front of the TV until the end! They have their own university, which is for the purpose of the medical students to learn, do research and to study about approaches for certain illness and medication.

Love them very much! My visit to their headquarters have open up a story about this group, where do they start, how they started from an individual to large organisation and what makes them different from other organisation.

Cheers!

A Celebration of Life foundation

Dear friends and readers. Do you remember last year, a public charitable foundation that Yvonne is setting up?

She is now working on it and she comes out with the name of the foundation "A Celebration of Life". Now, in order to promote this foundation, she'd like to create a logo to represent the foundation, something that the public can immediately identify and relate to. Are you good at graphics designing? If you are, would you like to help create a logo to celebrate life?

A Celebration of Life foundation will not only assist Neurofibromatosis patients in Malaysia financially. It will also inspire and encourage people to recognize the silver lining and the lessons behind their individual lives.

If you guys out there would like to design the logo with graphics designing, please get in touch with her through her e-mail Yvonnefmn(at)gmail(dot)com. At the same time, if you own a company or business, would you like to consider donating a gift to the volunteers who will help create this logo?

Noormawati is going back home from HUKM

Today, I read the information about Noorma (miera301.blogspot.com), that Noorma will be brought back home from HUKM because the doctor said that "there is nothing much they can do". Although I don't meet Noorma in person at the hospital, I know how she feels. At this moment, her husband and the family really needs support from you guys out there. Please, PRAY for her.

Funds Raising for Yvonne

Hello guys..How are you?

My fellow friend, Yvonne Foong, will have a surgery with the expert at HEI, LA, the same place where I went before. She has RM20,000.00 in hands, so she needs another RM80,000.00 to achieve RM100,000.00.

She is an author of a book "I'm not sick, but a bit unwell", an inspiration book, that strikes many Malaysian about her, and genetic disorder that most of us take for granted. The fact that she was totally deaf, and with her conditions, she still manages to helped many people seeking for helps, including me. I understand how she feels now. It is a matter of life. There are many things to consider because it involves the future. We cannot know God plans, but we can do something now. It also involves medical history that only those doctor who familiar in this case can do. Even a decade, HEI still have the same team of doctor. Like my doctor, Dr. Rick Friedman said, "I will be here for you, and I always be here at HEI"

Let spread the words and help Yvonne. She also sales T-shirt and many more. You may contribute to her personally to Maybank savings account 112223202599.

Derita tumor otak

Syahidah usaha kumpul dana untuk rawat penyakit acoustic neuroma

PENYAKIT tumor otak, acoustic neuroma (AN) yang dikesan dan dideritai Syahidah Ishak, sejak setahun lalu mengubah hampir sebahagian daripada hidupnya.
Namun begitu, Syahidah, 33, yang sebelum ini bertugas sebagai pensyarah di kolej swasta dan mengajar subjek ekonomi serta pengurusan, reda dan akur dengan ujian Allah harus diharungi.
Biarpun seronok berkongsi pengetahuan dengan pelajarnya tetapi dengan pergerakan terbatas dan beberapa perubahan fizikal dialami sejak di diagnosis tumor otak, Syahidah dengan berat hati meminta ditukarkan di bahagian peperiksaan.

“Saya suka untuk berkongsi pengetahuan dengan pelajar tetapi saya tidak lagi boleh menjalankan pembelajaran kerana hendak menulis pun agak sukar. Malah, tangan saya sering mengalami kekejangan. Pergerakan saya juga agak lambat dan tidak seperti dulu lagi. Begitu juga pada bahagian muka sedikit herot manakala mata tidak boleh tutup lama,” kata Syahidah menceritakan penderitaan dan beberapa perubahan fizikal dialami.

Menceritakan penyakit dihadapi, Syahidah berkata pada awalnya dia mempunyai masalah pendengaran dua tahun lalu tetapi tidak fikir banyak mengenai hal itu kerana menganggap ia masalah biasa.

Namun, keadaan itu berlanjutan dan masalah pendengaran dihadapi semakin teruk ia seperti mendengar ketika berada dalam air. Kemudian, telinga kiri juga mengalami masalah hampir sama. Keadaan itu menyebabkan koordinasi Syahidah terjejas dan hilang keseimbangan serta menyukarkannya untuk bergerak.
“Sehinggalah suatu hari saya hilang keupayaan untuk mendengar pada telinga kanan. Mulanya, saya fikirkan telinga tersumbat dan cuba untuk membersihkan tetapi ia tidak membantu. Saya kemudian meminjam kawan, alat pendengaran (earphone) untuk mendengar muzik dan dari situlah menyedari telinga kanan saya menghadapi masalah langsung tidak dengar,” katanya.

Syahidah yang tinggal di Ampang, berkata dia menjalani pemeriksaan lanjut pada bulan Julai lalu untuk mengetahui masalah sebenar dihadapi. Ujian yang dijalani menunjukkan, dia mempunyai tahap tiga tumor berkembang di dalam otak.

“Saya agak terkejut dengan hasil ujian itu kerana tidak sangka ada tumor otak yang dikesan sedangkan sebelum ini, saya sangka sakit telinga dialami adalah sakit biasa saja. Mulanya, saya mengambil keputusan untuk tidak mendedahkan kepada sesiapa mengenai penyakit dihadapi termasuklah keluarga. Tetapi apabila ibu bapa saya dapat tahu, saya berasa bersalah dan menceritakannya serta memohon maaf kepada mereka. Sebenarnya, saya tidak mahu mereka bimbang,” katanya sambil menambah ibu bapanya adalah pesara.

Sejak itu, keluarga, rakan-rakan dan pelajar memberinya sokongan moral, termasuk penulis blog, Yvonne Foong yang menderita penyakit neurofibromatosis serta mengalami penderitaan sama dialami. Syahidah turut membuat penyelidikan melalui internet untuk memahami dan mengetahui lebih lanjut penyakit dihidapi.

“Banyak membaca dan mencari maklumat ada kala membuatkan saya rasa takut dengan penyakit saya tetapi pada masa sama, ia penting untuk saya mendapatkan pengetahuan,” ujarnya telus berkongsi kegusaran di hati.

Pada Oktober tahun lalu, Syahidah menjalani pembedahan di Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) dengan kos RM33, 800. Selain majikan, jumlah kos rawatan itu turut ditanggung syarikat insurans.

Katanya, pakar bedah berjaya mengeluarkan hanya 2.4cm tumor daripada 3.8cm yang dikesan. Syahidah mendapatkan beberapa pandangan pakar perubatan mengenai baki tumor yang masih tinggal. Rata-rata berpendapat, baki tumor yang masih ada berbahaya dan jika tidak dirawat ia boleh berkembang, di samping memberi kesan kepada telinga dan juga deria imbangan badan.

Selepas membuat segala pertimbangan, anak tunggal perempuan dalam empat beradik ini bertekad untuk menjalani pembedahan membuang baki tumor di hospital di Amerika Syarikat (AS).

Menerusi rakan blog, Foong, Rasyidah mendapat tahu Dr Rick Friedman, pakar mengenai masalah telinga dan pernah berjaya mengeluarkan tumor 4cm dengan melakukan pembedahan selama empat jam.

“Saya berterima kasih kepada Foong yang mencadangkan Dr Friedman kepada saya. Melalui emel saya sering mendapatkan pandangan dan nasihat daripada Dr Friedman mengenai penyakit dihadapi,” katanya turut memberitahu akan menjalani pembedahan di AS dengan kos 50.000 US $ (RM150, 000).

Kos yang tinggi itulah menyebabkan Syahidah tidak lena tidur kerana tidak tahu bagaimana untuk mendapatkan sumber bagi membiayai rawatan pembedahannya dijangka akan dibuat Oktober depan.

“Insurans perubatan tidak termasuk rawatan di luar negara dan Majlis Kanser Kebangsaan Malaysia (Makna) klasifikasikan kes saya sebagai bukan kanser dan tidak dapat membantu saya. Mulanya saya bercadang untuk membuat pinjaman peribadi daripada bank tetapi dengan keadaan kesihatan dialami, tidak mungkin saya boleh berbuat demikian. Ibu bapa pula bukan orang senang dan mereka masih perlu menanggung seorang lagi adik saya yang sedang belajar,” katanya.

Tambahnya, sejak Julai lalu dia tidak dapat tidur dengan betul akibat kesan penyakit dihidapi, di samping mempunyai masalah menutup mata kanan.

Syahidah memberitahu, cuba mengatasi masalah dihadapi dia kini sedang berusaha keras dengan pelbagai cara terutama melalui jualan amal untuk mengumpulkan dana bagi membiayai kos rawatan bakal dibuat di AS.

Melalui blog yang dibangunkan sejak Mac lalu, Syahidah menjual beberapa barangan seperti baju T, payung, beg, magnet, tali leher, alat permainan dan sebagainya. Selain menjual barang, blog dibina itu juga berjaya menghubungkan Syahidah untuk berkomunikasi dan bertukar-tukar fikiran dengan beberapa pakar perubatan dari negara luar termasuk Jepun, Russia dan Amerika Syarikat, khususnya mengenai AN.

“Baju T saya reka cetak sendiri manakala barang-barang lain saya ambil dari luar dan ada juga barang ihsan diberikan oleh rakan saya tanpa mengambil sebarang bayaran untuk saya jual. Dengan melancarkan jualan amal melalui blog, sehingga kini saya berjaya mengumpul RM14,000 dan ini bermakna, masih banyak lagi diperlukan tetapi saya yakin boleh mengumpulnya, seterusnya dapat menjalani pembedahan dengan selamat,” katanya dengan tekad tidak akan berputus asa.

Syahidah turut berjanji pada diri sendiri, jika segala-galanya berjalan lancar dia bercadang untuk terus berkongsi maklumat dan pengalaman mengenai penyakit acoustic neuroma yang dihidapi melalui blognya iaitu http://wwwsyahidahishak.blogspot.com.

INFO: Mengenai Acoustic Neuroma (AN)
• AN juga dikenali sebagai Acoustic neurilemmoma, Acoustic neurinoma, Auditory tumor dan Vestibular schwannoma.
• AN adalah ketumbuhan bukan kanser yang terjadi pada saraf yang menyambungkan telinga ke otak.
• Tumor biasanya tumbuh perlahan-lahan dan apabila tumbuh ia memberi tekanan terhadap saraf pendengaran dan keseimbangan.
• Pada mulanya, pesakit mungkin tidak mempunyai simptom atau gejala ringan. Ini termasuklah
- Kehilangan pendengaran salah satu deria dengar
- Telinga berasa berdengung
- Pening dan mengalami masalah keseimbangan
• AN boleh sukar untuk di diagnosis kerana gejalanya sama dengan individu yang ada masalah telinga. Pemeriksaan telinga, ujian pendengaran dan imbasan boleh dibuat bagi mengenalpasti penyakit itu.
• Jika tumor kekal kecil, pesakit hanya perlu diperiksa secara berkala.
• Pada dasarnya, terdapat dua rawatan yang ditawarkan iaitu pembedahan atau radioterapi. Pilihan terapi adalah bergantung kepada kedudukan dan saiz neuroma akustik, kesan paduan pada saraf dan otak, serta keadaan pesakit. Disebabkan oleh pertumbuhan perlahan tumor keputusan memilih rawatan boleh ditangguhkan dengan risiko tertentu iaitu "tunggu dan lihat".
• Jika tumor memberi kesan kepada kedua-dua saraf pendengaran, ia kerap kali kerana gangguan genetik yang dipanggil neurofibromatosis. Tumor juga boleh akhirnya menyebabkan kebas atau lumpuh bahagian muka.
• Jika ia tumbuh cukup besar, ia boleh menekan terhadap otak, menjadi yang mengancam nyawa.
