It’s been a long time I’ve not been talking about my dad (which means he’s doing great in his recovery). He has been sleeping upstairs for few weeks already. With some support from me and mom, he’s able to walk up the stairs and the reward for him is an air-cond room. Alot of my relatives were shocked and happy when they heard my dad can walk up the stairs.

It was so hot these few days and until today since few days back, our house got no water. That is like a worse nightmare. We have been sweating alot even my living room now have 5 fans switched on. The weather sucks.

We celebrated Mother’s Day last Saturday. And since we can’t go out and my dad can’t bring us to have a great dinner, I ordered pizzas from Pizza Hut together with my cousin sister celebrating as well. I bought the pizzas using the money I just earn from Google Adsense. I guess I’m going to receive my second Nuffnang cheque soon too.

I told my dad that it was Mother’s Day that day and then when my mom came near my dad, my dad said “Happy Mother’s Day” which were not really clear. But that was enough to make us all cry. With that, I know my dad will be getting better soon since he’s able to walk up the stairs and talk.

That’s it for now. I’ve been lazy these few days for not posting new articles because I hardly going out and taking photos. But don’t worry, I will as soon as I have new stuff to post about. Thank you readers for all the support you have given from the start. Peace out.

It’s been a while that I have not write about my dad’s condition. Why? It’s because he is in his recovering stage right now. He has much improvements since the last time I’ve blogged about where he pulled the tubes by himself.

Now both tube holes were closed and both recovered. So far no problem with his breathing but the only sick thing me and my mom worried is about his food consumption. He ate quite little and what makes my mom angry is that my dad ate very slowly.

I understand why. Even my mom knows why, but she still got frustrated. So now it is my duty to feed my dad from now onwards. Though I may get frustrated sometimes but I can control my temper.

Walking is ok, but still need our support by his side. Speaking is not really good. Still can’t speak properly and he became lazy to talk. Must force to talk only talk. He understands everything what we said but maybe he needs some time to digest what we say.

My dad has started doing acupuncture and also reflexology. So far the progress is very good. Every week they will rotate their shifts, a week of acupuncture and then a week of reflexology.

I guess we will send my dad to stroke rehabilitation soon. But actually we are doing ourself at home. We trained my dad to walk. But for the speaking, I guess my dad really need a speech therapy because it’s hard to force my dad to speak.

I guess that’s all I can say. A million thanks to those who had support us from the beginning until now. I really appreciate what you all have done for us, pray for us. Thanks to all the readers who had been following my article on my dad’s condition.

God bless you all and have a healthy life. Peace out.

My dad was discharged yesterday and came back home. Today, in the morning my mom saw the tracheostomy tube on the throat was pulled out. My mom woke me up and I checked if my dad could still breath through the mouth. Though I know my dad could breath on his own, I’m only afraid of the wound will get infection. So we took my dad to the hospital with my car.

Actually doctor has closed my dad’s tube with a cover. For 2 days already my dad was breathing through the mouth. Doctor said she will review my dad again next week and see how was my dad doing. But my dad already pulled out on his own. My dad will be in hospital for another night and see how is his breathing.

It’s our mistake and fault for not tying my dad’s hand. Though it may look fine from our view but for my dad, it will be very uncomfortable having the tube on his throat. My dad’s previous room was taken by another patient already and the High Dependency ward were fully occupied. No choice but to take the 4-bedded room.

I just hope my dad will feel better without the tube. My dad has been trying to pull out the tube ever since it was there. I guess that’s a jackpot for him. This time I will not be so “kind” to my dad and I will tie the hand till everything is fine. That’s all for now, peace out. May God bless my dad and you guys.

My dad will be going back home soon. My dad will be discharge once we have prepare bed and stuff. Doctor said staying in the hospital will only cause more problems as my dad will get more infection in the hospital. My dad needs to breath in some nature’s fresh air and not the air inside the air-conditioning room or the oxygen gas. That’s why we need to bring my dad back home.

My dad is still very depending on the tracheostomy tube on his throat for breathing. So it will stay there for a while. At first we planned for my dad to stay in the hospital till doctor says it’s ok to remove it but then it will take some time. So we will have to bring that back as well. Will be doing some “practical” today and try sucking phlegm for my dad. It will be scary.

Once we’re back home, we will get the best acupuncturist for my dad to do some therapies. Acupuncture helps alot from what I heard from my relatives and friends who have tried before. Reflexology is a good therapy too. Will seek for more advise. If you have experienced either of them or both before, please give me some advise which will be more suitable or are we able to do both together?

After listening to a nurse whose dad had the same stroke condition as my dad, it makes me more confident that my dad will recover but it will take time depending on the person. It took her dad 2 years to be fully recovered and able to talk. I’ve learnt alot from her and also from the other experienced nurses who had seen such cases working inside the hospital.

I’ll have to prepare myself now and will be going out to buy beds and stuff for my dad. Thank you for your time reading about my dad’s story. A little boring I know but I really appreciate for your time and your support. Take care, may God bless you and peace out.

My dad’s left arm now able to lift up high now but uses alot of energy. But it is also a good news that he could lift up, better than the last time. Me and my mom always help my dad to carry up his left arm and doing some simple arm exercise so that he will have some muscles and strength to move the arm.

Met the doctor today and she said that my dad can go back home already. Problem now is that the tracheostomy tube will still be there and we will be bring that tube back home. The tracheostomy tube is harder to be taken care than the PEG tube.

Phlegm always building up in the lungs and my dad chokes when there are phlegm. We will have the buy the suction machine to suck out all the phlegm built up inside the lungs from the tracheostomy tube. It’s a suffering process and I bet my mom will cry when he sees my dad is suffering when she sucks out the phlegms. My mom cried once when she saw the nurses doing the suction.

My dad was still unbalance when he’s walking. Maybe it’s because of the eyes which he still can’t control the eyes movement properly as he could only move the eye balls left and right. My mom can’t take care of my dad alone at home.

I really want my dad back home but many things to be considered once my dad is at home. Bed is already a major problem. We are staying at a double-storey house and our bed is upstairs. Rooms located downstairs were occupied and it became a storeroom which there are too many things inside. What we planned is that we are going to put my dad’s bed in the living room.

My dad’s personal insurance (Prudential) coverage now is RM225k but we need to pay 10% of the total bill when my dad discharge. So what we planned now is that we will be using the company’s insurance (Lonpac) RM15k to pay the 10% of the total bill. Why have it increased from RM75k to RM225k? It was due to the insurance agent’s mistakes which she read the policy wrongly and my dad bought a different type of insurance.

So now we do not care much about the money, what we care most now is that my dad will be fully recover. I know we have to face the fact that my dad will not be as active as the day he used to be but I still happy that my dad able to survive this “test” given by God.

But still I’ll have to thank You for helping my dad in his recovery. And also thanks to everyone who supported my dad from the beginning. I really can’t stop thanking you guys for all the supports especially to my relatives and my friends (including my dad’s friends, colleagues and also friends I know through blogging atmosphere). Thank you, may God bless you all and peace out.
