Happy Birthday Irfan

Irfan is six today. How fast he had grown. 9th of February 2006. The date was picked by Anita since she had to go for Caesearian, some 20 months after she was operated for Idlan.

Anita was born on the 9th as well, hence the reason she picked the date. All went well and over the years, Irfan grew to be a cheeky little munkey! My little Munkey!

Happy Birthday Irfan. We'll have some cakes and toys later!

The Moll is in the House

On Deepavali morning, we received delivery of Irfan's new table. We paid for it during the weekend and we got the people from the shop to come over and install it for us. Irfan had been all excited since the weekend about the table. He picked the finish himself, even though we were keen for him to have a different unit.

The other unit would be for Idlan, but we had to wait for my next paycheck before I could pay for that one. Put it this way, it was not cheap. But from the build and also its attachment, it should last a very long time. A very sturdy table, and could be adjusted as the boys grow up.

The triangular compartment that Irfan could not get enough off.It came with a placeholder for books..... but not new chairs

Next month, it would be Idlan's turn. His unit would be wider, with a bigger drawer. He has not yet picked the finish. After that would be the chairs, followed by study lamps.

Practice makes Perfect

This Saturday would be the Sri Utama Musical for the year. Both Irfan and Idlan would be involved and again Irfan would be getting a prominent role right in the middle of the stage. From the looks of things, he was really looking forward for the big day, and have been practicing hard, including in the car. As of yesterday, he had lost his voice from shouting too much. Let's just hope that he would be OK on the day.

Similar to last year, the musical would be held in a hall in Sentul. They have had full rehearsal and I suspect the dress rehearsal would be tomorrow. Yup, my camera would be traveling with me on the day. So, come on boys! Let's have some!

Finally ....

Finally Irfan agreed for a haircut. It has been a good 4 months. His hair was getting thick and he was getting sleepless night with his scalp being itchy. Even then, it was really tough getting him to agree for a haircut. After much bribery, we brought him to a hairdresser in IKANO. Even the hairdresser was asking me twice what kind of haircut did ‘she’ need. Everybody was mistaking him for a girl …..

He sat down. Rigid, awaiting the fate of his hair, clearly upset. 10 minutes later, everything was done. No drama. On the way back, he said he did not mind going there again …. which was just as well.

Irfan being allowed home

The good news for the day was Irfan being discharged. Dad was also doing much better but was complaining of being hungry. He was fasted since admission and that will likely continue until he has his scope done. They were planning to do it later this morning in CCU itself. At least he was spared from having to be moved.

My Cardiology friend saw him this morning and did a scan of his heart. His heart was beating away fine and after he assured us that once the transfusion took effect, he should make a full recovery. His Hb level this morning was estimated at around 8.8 although we were still waiting for his other tests.

He was clearly getting bored and I must say I was not much of a company. What' was more important was for him to have some rest. We were cutting visitors to the absolute minimum while he recovers. It was very likely that he will be staying until the weekend.

As for Irfan, Mum and the driver will be picking him up and Puan Anita. My wife was understandably anxious to see her father. She has not met him since the fall as she was occupied with Irfan. At the moment Dad was hungry and bored which as far as I am concerned are good signs. I had to put up notices at the entrance of his room to stop the Medical Students from coming in to examine my Dad. A few of them turned up earlier this morning. Their final exams were just behind the corner and my Dad does have some good clinical sign.
