Zydan Says Hi!
July 19, 2024
Assalamualaikum, wahhh it's been a while since my last post! I forgot about my blog until recently when I was given reminder to renew my website account. Haha I have been paying annual fee just because I don't want to lose my memories and posts here... the website, actually to be honest. It is not easy to secure a good name .com.
So, hi~
Introducing my little bunch of joy,
Zydan
He is 9months old plus now. So cheeky and full of ideas. This baby learns and adapts so fast to every single thing exposed to him!
9months milestone:-
Gross motor:
Zydan can sit without support but not really steadily yet. He is keen to stand and climb than sitting. Makes a lot of movement on surface - crawling for few steps then wriggling on his abdomen.
Oh, he can climb furniture now and keen on cruising here and there.
Fine motor:
I can't really appreciate his pincer grasp yet. But he totally loves seeing moving objects like vehicles or anything falling like fallen toys! Of course, while sitting on his walker / chair he loves to drop thing and tries his best to get out to pick it up.
Language:
He knows his name and can respond to our call. But now no really into taking pictures like he used to. He likes it when we cough (unintended / intended) and try to imitate that. He babbles a lot, especially during nesting time before sleep.
Social Behavior / Self-Care / Play:
Still mouthing on every single thing. Prefers baby led weaning than spoonfeeding. I will let BLW if it is before his bath time. Hehe. He just found out he knows how to clap! Thanks to repetitive song of "kalau rasa gembira tepuk tangan" yeayyyy
Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for this gift.
Kindly excuse my motherhood's excitement.
And kindly pray for Zydan's safety and health, and for his eczema to be well controlled :)
Am I That Old / Young?
May 27, 2022
Sambil masak makanan untuk lunch, saya pasang lah lagu kat YouTube. Macam biasa, saya akan buka Korean OST / piano instrumental, tambah lagi kalau dapat bakar scented candle... fuhh, antara me-time yang best.
Masa jadi houseman dulu, beberapa kali juga rawat wanita yang hamil luar nikah (bukan kandungan pertama ya). Sebab ini dah kandungan kelima, pakar menyarankan beliau untuk ikat saluran peranakan. Sebab diri sendiri pun beliau tak mampu jaga, ahli keluarga pun tak mampu nak kawal aktiviti beliar, apatah lagi nak mendidik anak-anak yang lahir. Semua anak-anaknya diserahkan pada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat.
Terkadang timbul rasa cemburu dan kecewa bila kita menanti cahaya mata manakala ada orang yang begitu mudah sekali mengabaikan zuriat yang Allah dah beri. Tapi memang kena selalu istighfar, kena sentiasa yakin yang rezeki Allah bagi insyAllah sentiasa tepat pada masanya, di saat kita sebenarnya bersedia sepenuhnya. Usaha, doa, tawakal. InsyAllah.
Nanti kalau ada kesempatan, saya share lebih tentang input kursus. Banyak ilmu perubatan tapi akan cuba kongsi dari sudut pandang masyarakat. :)
Doakan kami dikurniakan cahaya mata yang sihat, sejuk mata memandang dan boleh bawa kami ke syurga. Ameen.

Every Moment Matters
March 22, 2022
Seems like lesser people read blog these days. Maybe I should redivert my thought instead of mainstream medium to blogging. It feels like yesterday when it was during my undergraduate phase to be exact, blog is like an open diary. Though it is not really a personal diary but sharing my life and experience here feels good, to meet friends with the same interest of writing is awesome too. But I think now people write more on Facebook, Instagram as more audience (?) maybe.
My blogging journey incredibly reduced during housemanship and even less after I became a medical officer. Blame the hectic working life, honestly. But I did tried to find some free times to write few informal articles or maybe just sharing about medicine and health. I posted on Facebook instead for people to read and gain something (hopefully).
Life has been a roller coaster since then.
I was in various places within 2years of my MOship, somehow I don't regret it despite occasionally I felt tired and annoyed of doing it (I meant, transferring workplace).
Emergency and Trauma
Paeds General
Surgical Oncology
Paeds General (again)
Paeds Covid
Paeds General (also again - back to so called base)
Paeds Endocrine
How can I adapt in totally different working environments, saving lives some more?
Surprisingly, I survived. Alhamdulillah.
There was one point, I lost passion. I did not even understand what were I doing. Being transferred here and there as in I was an invaluable ball. I woke up few times in the middle of night despite it was not my oncall night, unable to return back to sleep. Waking up, I felt heavy, can I survive working today? I was totally not looking forward for another day in the hospital. My sleeping pattern became terrible.
There.
Till one day, I don't feel totally good with myself. I got sick easily. I skipped meals. I performed my prayers late.
Colleagues, most are awesome and a few are not. Betrayal, talking behind your back, query about your medical leaves (when I was actually survived my housemanship without a single emergency leave / medical certificate). People always say 'remember the Hippocratic Oath' the so called infamous 'Do no harm.' oh yea, I agree, my ultimate goal in my career is always to be a safe doctor. I believe most doctors have this vision.
But, if doing so affected my own health so much, I finally know something is not right. I want to contribute to the community but maybe this is not the place.
That's it. I finally made my decision. To explore the rest of medical fields that may offer any opportunities to grow and learn so that I can still practice as a certified medical officer with a more work-life balance.
I can say I am healthier and happier.
The journey is still long, surely going to be windy. I pray Allah will always lead me through it.
I believe Allah's rizq is everywhere and insyAllah there will be something for me, ameen.
Pray for me. :)
Buat Bodo-Bodo Dengan Doktor
June 17, 2021
???????? ????????-???????? ???????????? ????????????
Di sesetengah hospital, ada yang review pesakit TDS (maksudnya tiga kali sehari - am review, pm review, night review). Ada juga yang BD (maksudnya dua kali review sehari - am review, pm review). Di tempat saya bertugas sekali, kita amalkan TDS review.
Alkisah night review di wad kanak-kanak.
????: ??????, ?????? ?????????? ?????? ???????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ?????
??????: ????????, ???????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ????????.

.
Settle night review, saya pergi attend referral kat ED. Balik wad, house officer beritahu, "???????????? ?????? ???????? ??????, ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ?????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ??????-?????? ?????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????????????????????? ????."
I was like....
Kena sabo lagi.
(sabo maksudnya kena sabotaj)
Jumpa senior MO yang round dengan pakar sekali, clarify balik yang mak dia siap boleh cerita apa nak buat untuk prosedur esok, macam mana pulak boleh kata tak tahu apa-apa. Dah jumpa doktor bius banyak kali dah sebelum ni (sebab ni kes MRI yang asyik kena postpone sebab tak dapat consent parents)
Fuh, paeds specialist RE-EXPLAIN sekali lagi, terpaksa inform anaesth team sekali lagi. Anaesth team siap datang pukul 12 tengah malam untuk RE-EXPLAIN tentang prosedur.
Ayat ibu yang serious rasa kena sabotaj ialah, "????? ???????? ?????????? ???????? ?????????????????????"
Adoi.
Percayalah doktor akan berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk terangkan dalam layman terms untuk pastikan pesakit dapat basic idea apa yang akan berlaku. Saya sendiri akan lukis atau tunjuk gambar berkaitan untuk beri kefahaman pada pesakit, siap bagi analogi lagi dengan kehidupan seharian.
Pagi keesokannya, specialist oncall datang wad sekali lagi tanya perkembangan kisah MRI pesakit ni, nak proceed ke tak, dah faham ke tak.
Kita bagitahu lah dah re-explain, anaesth team dah re-explain, consent taken. Terpaksa clarify dan tunjuk proof documentation sebelum ni yang dah banyak penerangan dibuat dan ibu faham.
????????????????????: ????????, ????????. ?? ??????'?? ???????????????????? ?????? ?????? ?????????? ???????????????? ??????????????????.
????: ???? ??????. ??_??
Tolonglah jangan buat bodo-bodo dengan doktor.
Kalau faham, cakap faham.
Kalau tak faham, cakap tak faham.
Kalau ada Covid contact, cakap ada Covid contact.
Kalau tengah tunggu PCR result, cakap tengah tunggu PCR result.
Janganlah sabotaj kami. Kami pun manusia. 
Demam Sawan - Ibu Bapa Jangan Panik!
May 29, 2021
?????????? ?????????? - ?????? ???????? ???????????? ??????????!
.
Deman sawan ni dalam bahasa Inggeris, namanya febrile fit / febrile seizure / febrile convulsion.
.
?????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????Demam sawan ialah sawan yang berlaku disertai demam (suhu badan melebihi 38'C) dalam kalangan kanak-kanak antara umur 6bulan hingga 6tahun. Biasanya demam sawan berlaku masa hari pertama / kedua fasa demam tu.
.
?????? ???????? ?????????????????????? ?????????? ???????????Demam yang terlalu tinggi - boleh berpunca dari apa-apa jangkitan contohnya:
- saluran pernafasan bahagian atas - lebih kurang bahagian tekak (URTI / pharyngitis / tonsillitis / tonsillopharyngitis)
- saluran pernafasan bahagian bawah - pneumonia
- saluran telinga - otitis media
.
?????? ??????????-?????????? ?????????? ???????????Demam panas (atas 38'C) berserta tanda-tanda ni:
- kekejangan otot / tersentak-sentak (ada yang berlaku di kedua-dua belah kaki ataupun di kedua-dua belah tangan ataupun di kedua-dua belah kaki dan tangan)
- ada yang mata terbeliak ke atas
- ada yang mulut berbuih / air liur meleleh
- ada juga yang terkencing / terberak.
- dan biasanya kanak-kanak tu tak sedarkan diri ataupun tak respon bila kita panggil dia.
Biasanya sawan akan berhenti sendiri selepas 1-3minit, jarang yang lebih 5minit. Kalau atas 5minit, bawak ke hospital / klinik SEGERA!
.
?????????? ???????? ?????? ???????????Biasanya bila kanak-kanak sampai klinik / Jabatan Kecemasan, sawan dah selesai dah. Ada kanak-kanak yang masih mamai / bingung, ada yang dah kembali dengan diri sendiri.
Doktor biasanya akan buat routine blood test (bergantung):
- full blood count - check sel darah putih / merah / platelet (kat sini biasanya boleh tunjuk badan dia tengah ada infection tak)
- renal profile - check fungsi buah pinggang
- liver function test - check fungsi hati
- electrolyte (magnesium, phosphate, calcium, albumin) - nak tengok balance tak garam dalam badan
Biasanya semua results tu normal. Cuma kalau sawan tu berulang-ulang dalam satu fasa demam yang sama, ada yang sampai kena buat CT brain - ni semua bergantung pada keadaan pesakit ye.
Doktor akan check jugak keseluruhan badan, especially sistem saraf (kita panggil central nervous sytem) - dari segi tone & reflex kaki, tangan etc.
Untuk demam sawan kali pertama, ada hospital yang biasanya admitkan untuk pemantauan, rawatan, diberikan pendidikan tentang sawan. Ada juga yang dipantau dalam 6jam di Jabatan Kecemasan dan dibenarkan pulang dengan ubat & pendidikan tentang sawan.
.
?????? ???????????? ?????????? ???????????????????? ?????????? ???????????Yang ni kita akan tanya sejarah keluarga. Kalau ada ahli keluarga yang pernah dapat demam sawan masa kecil, risiko kanak-kanak tu adalah tinggi untuk dapat juga.
Kita akan tanya juga ada tak ahli keluarga yang ada masalah epilepsy (sawan yang berulang-ulang & berpanjangan walaupun tanpa demam), ada tak ahli keluarga yang masalah pembesaran / tahap kecerdasan (developmental delay).
.
?????? ?????????????????? ?????????? ???????????Dalam kebanyakan kes, ?????? ????????????????????????. 3-4% populasi boleh dapat demam sawan. 30% daripada tu boleh dapat demam sawan lagi di masa akan datang (fasa demam berbeza). Kalau dah pernah berulang lagi dapat deman sawan, risiko untuk dapat next attack akan lagi tinggi.
Tapi untuk kes-kes tertentu, ada risiko boleh menyebabkan kecederaan otak. Contohnya:
- sawan yang berulang-ulang dalam satu fasa demam
- sawan yang berlarutan lebih 5minit
- ada masalah perkembangan yang lambat
- sejarah keluarga yang kuat
?????? ??????????????????
- pendidikan tentang demam sawan - apa yang ibu bapa perlu buat masa anak kena demam sawan.
Masa anak demam, check suhu badan anak. Sediakan alat termometer kat rumah, seeloknya yang check melalui telinga / bawah ketiak. Yang 'tembak' kat dahi tu tak valid sangat.
Pastu, make sure dah prepare siap-siap ubat demam (Boleh rujuk sini untuk cara kira ubat demam - https://www.facebook.com/hanis.amanina/posts/10159297811497002) Please, ibu bapa perlu tahu cara bagi ubat demam taw. Ni perkara asas keibubapaan.
Masa demam ni, longgarkan pakaian anak, buat tepid sponging (jelum dengan kain lembab), bagi ubat demam. Matlamat kita ialah turunkan suhu badan yang tinggi tu. Galakkan juga anak untuk minum air.
Masa sawan berlaku pulak, perkara pertama anda kena buat ialah ?????????? ?????????? ?????? ??????????????????. ???????????? ??????????. 
- mengiringkan anak ke sisi belah kiri.
- jauhkan barang-barang bahaya di sekitar anak - toys etc.
- jangan sesekali masukkan apa-apa dalam mulut anak (termasuklah kain, sudu dan sebagainya).
- jangan tinggalkan anak sendirian.
- perhatikan sawan anak, kalau ibu bapa dah bertenang - rekod video supaya doktor boleh tengok nanti.
- check timing - berapa lama anak kena sawan (biasanya 1-3minit sawan dah selesai dah).
- kalau sawan berpanjangan >5min, bawa ke klinik / hospital SEGERA!

ASMA NI TAK BOLEH SEMBUH KE?
May 26, 2021
"???????? ???? ?????? ?????????? ???????????? ????? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ???????????????????? ???????? ?????????????? ???????????? ??????????."
Asma ni satu keadaan yang sangat selalu kita jumpa di fasiliti kesihatan. Terus terang, memang selalu sangat. Ada yang bermula masa kecil, boleh jadi berleretan sampai dewasa, boleh jadi selesai masa kanak-kanak. Ada yang masa baby beberapa bulan pun dah mula kena. Ada yang masa dewasa baru dapat. Ada yang masa mengandung je dapat asma.
.
?????? ???????? ???? ?????????????????????
Asma ni radang pada saluran pernafasan yang kronik. Maksud kronik ni ialah berlarutan, tempoh masa yang lama. Radang tu akan buat saluran pernafasan tu sempit. Kesannya, udara yang kita hirup tu tak dapat masuk ke paru-paru, lalu kurangnya oksigen dalam darah.?????? ?????????????? ???????? ?????
Presentation dia selalunya susah nafas / nafas laju / nafas berbunyi, batuk + sesak dada. Apa yang penting perlu tahu? Asma ni boleh mengancam nyawa kalau tak dirawat! Sebab dia melibatkan sistem penting badan kita - sistem pernafasan. ?????? ???????? ?????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????
Fuh, macam-macam sebenarnya. Ada yang akan kena asma masa dia batuk/selesema. Ada yang kena bila terdedah pada asap rokok. Ada yang bila main dengan binatang berbulu (biasanya kucing / anjing). Contoh lain:
- allergy pada debu / asap / habuk / pollen / binatang lain
- jerebu / apa-apa pencemaran udara
- suhu sejuk / makanan sejuk / buah-buahan
- stress pun boleh menyebabkan asma ya
- ada yang induced oleh senaman / apa-apa aktiviti lasak
Asma untuk orang yang selalu merokok tu actually namanya ???????? (?????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????????? ??????????????). Konsep penyakitnya sama tapi biasa berlaku pada orang dewasa yang terdedah pada gas yang berbahaya, senang cakap asap rokok. Bukan setakat perokok ya kawan-kawan, kalau kita dikelilingi orang yang merokok pun boleh mengundang! ???????????? ???????????????
Ni ialah soalan-soalan kegemaran doktor kalau anda datang dengan simptom asma. Hadamkan bagi yang memang ada asma & selalu datang hospital ambik nebulization / inhaler / perlukan rawatan dalam wad. Basically ni ialah basic info sejarah asma anda.
??. ?????????????? ???????????????????????? / ?????? - bila kali pertama? macam-mana kekerapan dalam setahun / beberapa bulan kebelakang? Bila last guna / dapat? Ada sejarah masuk wad tak? Kalau ada, apa tahap tertinggi dapat oksigen - nasal prong / facemask / venturi mask / intubate?
??. ?????????????? ???????????????? - ada sesiapa tak dalam keluarga yang ada asma (terutamanya first degree family - adik-beradik, ibu bapa)? Kalau ada, terkawal tak? Ada follow up / pakai inhaler apa-apa tak?
??. ???????????????? ???????????????? - ada tak bangun pagi akan selalu batuk? Ada tak tidur malam terganggu atau selalu terjaga disebabkan batuk? Ada yang tak boleh exercise berat sampailah semput sangat-sangat?
??. ???????????????????? ?????????????? - apa yang selalu mengundang asma tu? Ada yang makan tembikai je, terus batuk-batuk dan semput. Ada yang baru lepas renovate rumah, batuk-batuk disebabkan habuk & debu lepas tu semput. Ni semua berbeza ya ikut diri masing-masing. Ada yang semudah tidur dalam aircond / bilik yang sejuk.
??. ?????????? - ni maksudnya badan kita bagi tindak balas pada sesuatu allergen. Ada yang resdung (selalu bersin pagi-pagi atau dek kerana habuk macam tu). Ada yang banyak allergy pada makanan. Ada yang mata selalu kemerah-merahan. Ada yang kulit kering (eczema). Bila seseorang ada atopy, lagi tinggi chance dapat asma ya.
??. ????????????-???????????? ???????? - doktor akan tanya ada perokok / haiwan peliharaan / carpet ke kat rumah. Sebab ni antara punca biasa yang menyumbang pada asma. ?????????? ???????? ?????? ???????????
Untuk yang pertama kali, silalah pergi ke hospital / klinik terdekat. Anda perlukan ubat untuk legakan dan buka semula saluran pernafasan.
Untuk yang memang dah diagnose dengan asma, tolonglah compliant dengan ubatan anda (inhaler tu). Inhaler ada dua jenis ya.
??. ???????????? (????????????????)
- yang ni paling biasa digunakan ialah Salbutamol, nama lainnya Ventolin. Pakai ikut arahan doktor / bila perlu sahaja. Pastikan kita prepare inhaler kita sentiasa ada dengan kita sepanjang masa. Serangan asma ni bila-bila boleh jadi ya, terutamanya bila ada sesuatu yang trigger.
??. ???????????????? (??????????????????)
- yang ni doktor akan review keadaan pesakit sama ada perlu pakai atau tak. Jenis inhaler ni ikut fasiliti / tahap masing-masing - paling biasa namanya Budesonide / Fluticasone. Kalau level asma jenis tinggi tu, tolonglah jangan terlupa ambik tiap-tiap hari. Ikut prescription yang doktor bagi. Kalau ikut guideline GINA terbaru, kes asma simple pun dah digalakkan bagi preventer taw. ???????????? ???? / ???????????? ???????????? ????????
Dah ada ubat, jangan lupa follow up. Doktor biasanya ada bagi review 3-4bulan untuk tengok macam mana badan kita respon pada ubat. Kalau kita compliant dan simptom terkawal, doktor akan turunkan dose sikit-sikit sampailah kita hanya perlu pakai pelega bila perlu sahaja. Kalau tak terkawal, kemungkinan akan dinaikkan dos / tukar ubat / rujuk pada pakar respiratori.
Semua pesakit asma (terutamanya kanak-kanak), kita akan sediakan asthma action plan, diari batuk untuk disemak masa follow up. Asthma action plan ni akan bantu untuk seseorang tu bagi pelega sendiri dahulu ikut tahap sebelum perlu ke hospital atau tak. ???????? ?????????? ???????
Untuk kanak-kanak, kita akan minta ibubapa belikan aerochamber untuk pastikan ubat sampai ke saluran pernafasan dengan efektif. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0M1lLpOu4U
Rutinnya, doktor / ahli farmasi akan semak teknik tu berkala (biasanya masa appointment kat klinik) - sebab tu please jangan skip TCA. Kalau terlepas, tolong call klinik dan dapatkan tarikh baru.
Fahamlah kawan-kawan, asma ni tak boleh sembuh tapi boleh dikawal. Sama macam orang allergik udang, sama ke penghujung nyawa dia akan dapat kesan pada diri kalau dia makan udang. Hampir sama macam asma. Asma ni kalau tak dirawat dengan baik, lama-lama simptom tu makin teruk dan makin susah nak tindak balas pada rawatan biasa.
Bukan sedikit ya, pesakit asma perlu ditidurkan & diberi bantuan pernafasan (intubate). Kalau sebelum pandemik Covid pun banyak, semasa pandemik ni lagilah mencabar nak beri rawatan. Bayangkan lagi budak-budak kecil baru beberapa tahun dah kena intubate disebabkan asma yang teruk. ????????????????????
1. Asma boleh dicegah - mencegah jauh lebih baik dari merawat.
2. Kenal pasti perkara-perkara yang boleh trigger asma kita dan elakkan.
3. Pastikan kita ikut arahan pakai ubat (compliant to medication).
4. Pastikan teknik pakai inhaler yang betul.
5. Elakkan terlepas appointment rawatan susulan.

Hari tu kena present acute severe asthma. 
Pasar Presint 8
October 20, 2020
Finally I found a place that I can do groceries shopping without having to worry about the price. Thanks Kak Mulan :)
For the early 2 weeks of my stay in Cyberjaya, I kept on buying stuffs from Grocers (name it - Village Grocer, Jaya Grocer, Star Grocer yada-yada), so I posted Instagram stories asking for help and opinions. A lot of information came into my message box.
One of them is Pasar P8. It is actually very close to Hospital Putrajaya.
So, I went there on Saturday with Haziq and haha of course I love the place!
It is a market in a neighbourhood surrounded by apartments, a school, a food court, a local library in Presint 8.
The price of vegetables, fruits, fishes, meats, chickens etc are affordable. I can say, it is almost similar as in Mydin etc.
The market will be the place for me to get my groceries on regular occasions :)
Here is the map. Luckily it opens daily.
Sweets
October 19, 2020
HO: Doktor, ada banyakkkk coklat kat pantry, mak ayah Bed X bagi.
Hehe I was excited to be honest. We usually received some food from discharged patient, sometimes brownies / cake / breads etc and we will just put them in the pantry and make announcement to other colleagues.
"Cepat-cepat, nanti habis."
And to my surprise, we received a box full of sweets!
Though I didn't really eat these but it did give me happiness and put a smile on my face behind the face mask. :)
Thank you for the thoughts :)
May Allah help and give us courage to continue working with good quality. Ameen.

These Tiny Tubes
October 18, 2020
Poking babies for some blood investigations is not that easy. First, we need to decide if poking them / to insert IV line (branula) is really needed. Then, of course we need to explain to mothers why we need to do that.
I always tell my patients (since housemanship phase) that our blood is like our identity. I think I have mentioned this in previous post too. We can check many things from few drops of blood. :) And I love the facts that we can do so.
In paeds, blood taking procedures are RARELY be done bedside (means most of the time, we will take the babies / kids to the procedure room) and we will ask the parents to stay outside of the procedure room, or simply stay in the patient's room. Why? I don't think people loves to see their kids crying with the pain initiated with poking them. Right? I have witnessed lots of mothers (usually) have tears flowing on their cheeks every time they hear their children crying in procedure room.
And to be honest, kids have really good memories - name it from their eyes and even from their body memories. Huhu. Every time we just hold to check their hands & foots for any possible veins, they usually will start crying. But some others are cool haha. Some will only cry once the needle is inside.
From left: EDTA tube for adults - EDTA tube for paeds - plain tube for adult - plain tube for paeds
EDTA tube - usually for full blood count, full blood picture
Plain tube - for renal profile, liver function test, serology etc.
Tricking the children with some videos are helpful to be honest. It helps to distract the kids. For babies, I discovered that playing some sleep lullaby can help to calm the babies. :)
I always asked my husband why on earth would he prefer Paediatrics compared to Medical Department. He said that both are busy departments, one handling general medicine for babies & children while the other one for adults. But, at least seeing cute babies sooth his mind to continue working. Lol. He handles kids better than me though we both are the youngest in the family.
And now, both of us are Paediatrics MO. Haha. Life is very funny sometimes.
Anyway, please pray together with us to be blessed with kids ya :)
I still remember I will ask your prayers when I was in medical school & housemanship. Hopefully, you will not mind to keep praying for me too.
May Allah bless your day :)
