Kerna Kasih Kita: January 2007

Tuan Rayyan Ariff Tuan Alimin was born on 12 May 2008 : Monday : 8.12am : 1.815kg

At 22 weeks gestation, Rayyan Ariff was diagnosed with a disease that affects between 1 in 5,000-10,000 live births.

We have been informed that many pregnancies with a fetus diagnosed with this disease end in miscarriage and studies in the past also showed that 3% of all fetuses with this disease survive to delivery, and the vast majority of these babies do not survive past the first six months of life.

We were given options whether to let him go, or to keep him and opt for elective LSCS. To be fair to him, we chose to give him a chance and go for early delivery.

He was born prematurely at 31 Weeks gestation via Elective LSCS . Earlier, we have been told to be prepared.. As he may not be able to see, to hear, to move and to think.. In short, he'll be a vegetable..

But he has shown us that nothing is impossible in defying the odd.

In the past few years of his life, he has went through a lot! But he's still standing strong, and he'll always be! =)

With him around, life is so wonderful. We're so blessed to have him as we've been given the gift of learning to treasure every second of life..

Allah is above all..

Alhamdulillah..

He is so special in his own unique way.. He is our lil' Rayyan Ariff - Pintu Syurga yang Bijaksana..
