Sleep Apnea Is A Very Serious Concern

This is what most of my friends from myLot believe. They are mostly common people who don't have medical background or education. But they have at least one family member that snores at sleep, so they understand the danger of apnea, what it could cause if the patient have not given proper attention.

What makes us feel sad regarding Sleep Apnea is that, not everyone is aware of this kind of health condition. Some will even have a great laugh when they see one person snoring so loudly.

The worst part of this is, even some medical professionals do not take this condition very serious. Yes, they know about apnea and even believe this will lead to some more serious health problems, like heart attack, hypertension, etc. But they don't move fast, so easy and calm to tell you, "don't be hysteric or be rattled." Won't you feel that way if you see your child suffering?

One friend also said, "A lot of people are uneducated about the condition so it's up to you to explain to them and how it's dire that your child gets the help he needs."

So I hope I can reach more people with this writing, and let them understand how serious Sleep Apnea is.

Still A Long Way To Go

We started ways to raise funds for the surgery. And we are overwhelmed with the outcome. So far, we have reached about 15% of the total estimated cost.

We thank everyone who support us from the beginning. Everyone from myLot especially Auntie Marti. All the friends from TUP-MTI and from Facebook. From the workplace, friends and relatives. We also, of course, thank all those who have pledged and still wait for the right time.

But this is still not over and still a long way to go. We still have to work harder to reach our goal. We hope more and more people will do their share when they find it in their hearts to do so.

We badly need your help.

Everything Is Large Exempt The Air Pathways

We just got back from the Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) doctor. He's very proficient should I say, in terms of equipments and how he explained to us everything about Zayzay's problem.

He checked his throat, his tongue. He used a camera to see how it looks inside of Zayzay's throat, I think that's endoscopy? And the child was very cooperative. He never showed resistance to whatever the doctor told him to do, not even with the small thing inserted in his nose.


Now these are what the ENT saw:

1. Large tonsils
2. Large adenoids
3. Large tongue


Of course he saw the video and he really feels the suffering of the child.

Now, the good news? He can correct everything on our little angel. He can make him feel better, sleep better. He said, 80% of what he is now, will be removed. Meaning, the obstruction will be erased though he may still snore.

Now... Now... Now... The bad news?

We have to raise something about 3. Yes, three thousand US dollars.

Where and how could we get this huge amount of money?
