Amar's Recovery
Picture: Finally, decent pictures of Amar's infected finger.
- Top-left: The finger looks swollen and black.
- Lower-left: The finger still looked swollen with a yellow collection (pus) under his fingernails. This was after he'd received antibiotics and the abscess has partly burst.
- Top-right: Amar's ID
- Lower-right: being imprisoned.
When we arrived, Amar did not look poorly but he also did not look his normal cheerful self. When I carried Amar his body seemed noticeably weak and slightly flaccid. However, he still managed to smile when he saw Sarah and soon afterwards they started chasing each other around the playroom again! Amar was also eating with good appetite, a very good sign.
Both of Amar's hands were heavily bandaged. His left was the side operated on, and his right contained an IV cannula for the antibiotics. A surgeon explained to us that necrotic tissue and pus were removed, and Amar's fingernail had detached by itself, due to the infection. They are planning to continue IV antibiotics for several days, with a view to discharge Amar sometime next week if he recovers well.
We left just before Amar's bedtime, so that he could continue to rest but so far, Amar seems to be recovering progressively.

sherin & simah
on behalf of mama sarah, thank you for all the nice wishes and the concern:) i've relayed all your comments to her and i've also given her internet access via my mobile for her to answer both your comments, but she's probably tired and slept early tonight.
Alhamdulillah, i'm happy amar's operation went on fine as well. I havent told anyone but i was partly worried about amar having anaesthetics as there is a history of allergies in my family. Takut amar allergic to the anaesthetics - the consequences of this is dire.
Now, hopefully there'll be no post-op complications, nazubillah. We have to look after the finger carefully to prevent it from getting infected.
Personally I cant wait for them to get back home safely.

InsyaAllah everything will be fine. Amar is lucky to have a father who is also a doctor. At least you can also monitor his condition at home. I hope mama sarah will have a good rest tonight. Kirim salam pada mama sarah. I am keeping Amar in my prayers. InsyaAllah, he will recover fast.
Take care of your family as well as yourself.:)
phuh.. Alhamdulillah.. kecut perut jugak to hear what happen to Amar. Hope he's recovering well. Take care. May Allah keep all of us under his blessing.
it must have been an ordeal for nisa..it is never easy for a mom to see her child being sick.*hugs* And amar is so brave..InsyaAllah everything will be ok soon..as always..our prayers will always be with u..
I cant thank all the readers enough.
Amar is recovering really well, infact on of the nurses said that maybe he could be discharged from the ward today. That is, if the surgeons agree. My impressions of amar yesterday, i think he's fine. he just needs to eat and get some energy before he's back to his normal cheerful self. insya allah i'm going soon to visit them again, i'll bring back more news when i get back.
as for nisa, she's doing okay. she had to wait for amar to sleep before even being able to take a shower. but she said amar was hassle free to look after.
sorry nisa could not answer her comments, but i bet she'd be pleasantly surprise seeing how her readers are so concerned!
thanks again.
i'll convey all you guys said to her when i see her today.
Alhamdulillah,
I'm quite relieved to see Amar is recovering from his surgery and even has the energy to run around after Sarah in the hospital..
I'm still quite curious oh how his finger could became like that. Hope it's not serious.
And hopefully K Nisak could get a good night's sleep.
