an intro..





feeza was born in 14th Nov 2005 as the second child to Irwan Effendi and Siti Zaleha.

she was a healthy baby until she was 7th months old. she encountered a drastic lost of weight. what was left for her during that time was bone and wrinkled skin. her parents sought for treatment and had her undergo further check up with general practioners and also specialists.

during that period of time, she had to bear persistent vommiting. be it after meal, when she woke up from sleep, the vommiting was unpredicatble. the only diagnose she gets from most of the doctors was only 'stomach upset' or, 'food poisoning' or even worse, 'malnourished' which ended up putting her into pain due to frequent blood tests and what not..

her parents had no other option than to get her to another hospital and bear the pain watching their beloved daughter cried with needles going through her skinny hands. it was an unbearable sight to see her in that much of pain. the treatment goes on for almost 3 years without none of the doctors suggested the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image) test for her. so the whole family lived with the fact that it was either her stomach or her the environment that cause the constant vommiting.

despite the vommiting, she is a very active child. im not afraid to say that almost everyone who meets her will be impressed by her chaming personality, her intelligence (she's a very smart girl!) and the fact that she is so friendly.

after almost 3 years consulting two private hospitals, her parents bring her to the 3rd. the paeditrician in the current hospital suggested her to do the MRI test. so she had an appointment on 3rd February 2009.

she have a habit of sucking her fingers before she goes to sleep. couple of weeks before, my mom took care of her for a while. one night, after vommiting, she was going to sleep but she had some trouble putting her fingers in her mouth. when my mom asked what's wrong, she replied ''i can't find my mouth''. so my mom assisted her. what hurt my mom the most, was when she could not suck her fingers as she could not take controlled of her hand..on the night before her appointment, she was with her father. she was sleeping soundly until suddenly she started bubbling and somewhat struggling to talk in her sleep. her father woke her up and for 5 seconds, she was speechless.. these were the only symptoms she showed us..

on the day of her appointment, the whole family was shocked when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. her tumor was 4cm long and it has been there for almost 2 and a half years! the tumor had blocked the fluids in her brain from circulating and the only way that she can channel the preassure in her brain was only by vommiting (which the doctor said,have saved her life all this while). after her brain scan was out, the doctors decided to insert a tube in her skin. the length of the tube is from her head down to the back of her right ear and straight to her chest before it reaches her stomach. the tube is meant to circulate the fluids in her brain so that her vommiting will stops instantly.

now, she's living with the the tube in her body waiting for the exact treatment for her tumor.. please pray for her..tq..
