Pain That Not Invited

On 2010, my little brother Arif Sufyan was already grown up as other children. His cleverness and happy-good-lucky attitude was always made the whole family feel alive. As he was a younger siblings and has an age range with my sister about 8 years, of course he got full attention from us.




……………….

He was a normal hyperactive boy like some kids out there. Until one day on October 2010, my mom realize that something wrong with my little brother in physically. His legs were look like swallow and his cheeks become chubbier than before. My mom had referred to the hospital as my little brother become weak and always had a fever on that time.
On the same month, Arif Sufyan was admitted at the hospital Sultanah Zaharah in Kuala Terengganu. On that time his face and almost part of his body become swallow and looks like balloon!

After had some check up with the paediatrician, finally the doctor said that my little brother is having Nephrotic Syndrome which relate to his kidney filter. That news was really shocked my whole family of mine. My little brother was never shows any changes of his health before. All of these just like happened on sudden. I’m close with him of course I’m the saddest one when this was happened to him.

My little brother admitted at the hospital about 3 weeks long. He was just two years old on that time and he never understand what is going on with him… All he knew was the pain he felt at almost time per day. Got a few of injections and feed with medicines. He almost spent his times with tears and a lot of pain. He felt scared and sad at all time because he realize that he cannot go to play at the playground with another children, he cannot eat his favourite food like fried chicken, French fries because of doctor’s advice.



He don’t want others to see his face. His self-esteem become low.
He scared if other children will laugh because of his physical and his face.
He knows that everyone will talk about him.
He tend to sit alone and watched the other children playing without joining them.
My parents and I realize that. We always support him and make him confident with himself especially in front of people.


Before the end of 2010, Praise to God that my little brother got healed from his disease. But it doesn't mean he was fully recovery. He must still takes the medicine in pills form continuously and it was about 33 pills (take for three times) taken by him per day.
