Penned Down #21: Unfortunate & Fortunate Events

Dear Earthlings (and disguised Spacelings),

Two major things happened in a week. First thing first, Mom got struck by mild stroke on Wednesday. It was a shocking thing for I would never have imagined it would happen to her. Mom complained about a sudden numbness through out her left part of body but I really thought it was just because she had too much attention on her crochet knitting activity for the past few days.

But we still rushed to Manjung's emergency room in the evening and boy, we gasped upon hearing that Mom could be possibly struck by minor stroke. Mom was warded that night for observation but the next day, she had to undergo the CAT Scan in Ipoh General Hospital to confirm the doctor's assumption. Unfortunately it was the Thursday's morning when Mom suddenly had a series of serious stroke attack.

Her left part of mouth was somehow unaligned with the right part and her speech slurred. Mom started to whimper on how her left arm was causing her a great deal of pain. Fortunately The Hubster called for an emergency leave that day so we followed the ambulance to Ipoh to accompany Mom. 

I remember how my hand felt as cold as ice for I was quite panic so I called Yong and Annie to see if they could come home as soon as possible. Nyah on the other hand was immobile; she was counting hours for her labor. So Yong and her family got home with Annie in the evening.

The after result of CAT Scan confirmed that Mom was struck with second level of stroke. We were not sure what caused the attacks but Mom was advised to start eating as healthy as it can be. Her previous medications were also changed according to new prescription. Praise be to Allah SWT for she is finally discharged today. What a hectic week but we caught the good news, though!

We have another addition to the family now. My second sis, Nyah has safely delivered a baby boy yesterday of November 1st, 2013. It seems like the baby will be sharing the same birthday month with The Hubster who was born on November 27th. However I think they won't have a similar zodiac sign though (I think but not really sure, quite lazy to Google up).

So yes, my family is currently having more grandsons instead of granddaughter. One from Yong and two from Nyah. But that's alright peeps. The Hubster and I have already planned to get pregnant with twin daughters to get it balanced one fine day! Bahaha. Soon baby, soon.

Anyhow please keep my mom in your prayers, dear people!
