My Injury-Prone Hero...

Muzafar has been getting injuries all over his body for the past 9 years of his life. Only recently he had a deep cut near his ankle which required four stitches. Last night, we were at the emergency unit again. This time, he has this huge awful looking wound on the left side of his cheek, the size of a 50 sen coin.

It started last week when he had a swelling the size of a mosquito bite with a dot of blood on his face. He told me that a friend accidentally scratched him while playing. So I thought whatever that was will be gone in 2-3 days. Who would think that it will grow to be one of the gross-est thing I have ever seen. I am attaching a photo here.

I cringe everytime I look at this!

We took him to the Al-Islam Specialist Hospital which is the opposite of Kampung Baru Mosque. We reached there at about 8.00pm after Maghrib. There was only one doctor on duty so we had to wait for almost or probably slightly more than an hour. But all is good. The doctor recognized it as a bacterial infection (he actually used a scientific name which I really cannot remember and repeat). Muzafar is now on antibiotics, syrup to help ease the itchiness and some gel to be applied directly to this nasty wound. Good thing he doesn't have to go school until Thursday because of UPSR.

Talking about UPSR, Naz and I can still remember how nerve wrecking it was for us when Munira sat for her UPSR last year. We were even more nervous when the results were coming out. Sadly, I way away for work on the day she received her results - straight As. We are heaps proud! Good job Munira, but please remember that this is only the beginning. Your journey has just started. Ibu and ayah, are wishing nothing but the best for you and adik-adik. Amin, amin ya rabbal alamin...
