Nurul Sakinah's arrival




It has been quite a long time since I last updated this blog. Work commitments kept me away for quite some time. Just to announce that we now have an additional family member - Nurul Sakinah. She was borned on the 24th July 2007 although she was only expected to arrive few days before Ramadan. Neny had preeclapsia (not sure whether the spelling is correct) i.e. high blood at the later stage of the pregnancy and in order to save the mother and the child, a c-section operation would need to be carried out and Alhamdulillah, the doctors and nurses at Putrajaya Hospital were very well trained and had adequate facilities to handle such problems. Sakinah had to be immediately warded at the Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for about 4 weeks as the the baby's weight just about 1.4kg. We were told that we had to wait until the baby weight had increased to at least 1.8kg. For all those times, I had to travel to and fro every day from Shah Alam to the Hospital, sometimes twice daily to allow Neny to breast feed the baby.

The investment in NGV had proved to be helpful. After all, the Petronas CNG station is less than 1Km away from the hospital and not many taxis queing. After taking into consideration of the medical bills, toll, CNG... the whole affair cost me less than RM400-00.
Thanks to all friends and well wishers.
