Innalillah...Al-Fatihah to arwah Ilmiah Ibrahim

On 10th of April, i've been shocked with sms from my HB saying that he had to go to Ipoh because his sister is in coma. I took half day off that day to make ourself to Ipoh to visit my SIL. When we arrived at the hospital, it was already too late and the visiting hours was over..since it's goverment hospital. All my in laws were present at that time so we decided to overnight there for tomorrow visitation.

Arwah is a lecturer at a local university in Seri Iskandar. She was in coma due to stroke. On the day when it happened, arwah was at home with her youngest daughter. Arwah only had 2 daughters. She felt sick that day and was having a bad headache. She was watching tv with her daughter at that time. It started off with failure of speech and she started having fits and was vomiting furiously. She was brought to nearby hospital first where the doctor had to clear her lung because she had swallowed her vomits. Her condition worsen and that she had to be sent to Ipoh Hospital for further medical reasons. Her blood pressure at that time was around 230. Arwah has had high blood since the past few years...and had been hospitalised few times because of this. So the stroke happened because there was a bleeding in her brain caused by high blood pressure which is so large that blood spills into the brain's ventricles causing an intraventricular hemorrhage, a condition which can result in life-threatening. So she had to undergo an operation to remove the blood in her brain. One after another complications persisted during and after the operation. Her brain was swollen because her heart was unstabled. Another operation was done by removing a portion of her skull to lower down the pressure. Unfortunately, with that kind of condition, she was declared brain dead and there's nothing can be done to save her life. She was kept stabilized with the help of life support machine.

On the 11th, we gathered in front of the ICU waiting for the 1pm visitation hours. Since she was in ISO room, only 2 person can go in per visit. Me and HB were the first 2 to enter when clock hit 1pm....and yes..the condition seems pretty bad.  

Vital decision was sought to stop the support machine and medicine. By 2pm, it was final and they have decided........only tears were streaming on each faces surrounding the ICU at that time....innalilah....

She was a dear sister in law to me. Always speaks in soft tone and true muslimah indeed...i will miss you my dear sis.
