University Malaya Specialist Center
In 7 December 2012 was a Horrible Nightmare, my dearest sister was detected to have Chiari Malformation. I think that nobody know what is Chiari Malformation right? Chiari Malformation condition in which brain tissue extends into your spinal canal. It occurs when part of your skull is abnormally small or misshapen, pressing on your brain and forcing it downward. How we detect my sister has Chiari Malformation? Because my sister go to UMSC is to have a Scoliosis surgery and luckily the Assoc. Prof. Dr Kwan Mun Keong find out my sister got Chiari Malformation.We felt very shocked and can't accept the truth we all crying. Honestly tell you all, I'm the person who crying very worst. If my the Prof. Dr. Kwan did't find out that problem and straight away do the Scoliosis surgery my sister will paralyzed.
Thanks GOD and very thanks to the Prof. Dr. Kwan.The next day Prof. Dr. Kwan introduce we to see Prof. Dr. Dharmendra, because he is good in Brain Specialist. They do their job very efficiency and responsible. When the both Prof. Dr. understand my sister condition they quickly arrange surgery for my sister. The surgery will be progress on that day but is in the evening. On that time I was shock because I did imagine that the surgery can arrange so quickly.

My sister not fell any nervous she just relax and still playing computer game for waiting her surgery. The duration of the surgery is if I not mistaken is about three hours plus. Three hours later my sister surgery is done and she still coma not awake because of the anesthetic. Tell you all a funny things when my sister already awake don't why my sister keep asking what is the time now. She every 20 minutes will ask one time really wired. That night we all did't sleep because need to take care of my sister. The next morning the doctor come and see my sister and he said my sister is recovery very well.

In 28 February 2013, we went back to UMSC to do Scoliosis surgery. Unfortunately, my sister was not fully prepared for this major surgery because she scared and crying so the operation needed to be pospone.

In 16 April 2013 we went back to UMSC again to continue my sister Scoliosis surgery. What is Scoliosis? Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While Scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown. In most of the doctor opinion, most of the female will easily suffer to Scoliosis. The duration of the surgery is about 8 hours. OMG damn long needed to wait. This time my sister comes a little bit nervous because this is a big operation need to cut the whole back of body and put some screw inside the body. Waiting around 8 hours and finally the operation is ended. Same like before my sister coma when she been push out from operation room to HDU. This time my sister no more asking what time is it and she awake not same like before awake so fast.
She still in coma at HDU
