Eusoff's Runny Nose

I realize that I have never written about my third child in my blog. There are so many interesting stories about Eusoff that I don't know which one to be the pioneer to be penned down. Alas, let me share the latest happening on Eusoff's medical expenses.

Eusoff has been suffering for "an allergy of the nose" for about 3 months. It appeared like a normal flu, but it's not. It's like sinus in the making. During this period, we would have been one of the most frequent flyer with Dr. Catherine Tham Sabapathy of the Puteri Specialist Hospital. The nurses could recognize him from far, what more Dr Tham. Antibiotics after antibiotics. Medicine after medicine. Costs after costs. Not claimable. The equivalent value of a decent sofa set from Fella Design I would say.

Finally, we brought Eusoff to see one "pakcik" in Paka, Terengganu on our way back to Kuala Terengganu (Eusoff's daddy hometown) last Aidiladha. The pakcik scanned him and informed us that Eusoff had seen "something" and that he had been "tersampuk" for more than 2 months. Bingo! The pakcik held Eusoff's head tightly and recited some doa. Eusoff cried out loud while trying to remove the old man's right hand. Then the pakcik held my poor baby's toes and again recited some more doa. He cried and shouted even louder while kicking the man's hand with his other leg. Quite surprising to see this tiny boy's determination to halt the cleansing effort of the old man. In the end, Eusoff stopped crying, wanted some milk and fell asleep soundly.

From that nite since, Eusoff has been sleeping soundly at nite and he no longer has runny nose. Alhamdullillah, he has been well since then. I pray that he would continuosly be in good health.

Conclusion : Never underestimate the power of alternative medicine (with permission from Allah of course).
