Rara Zikry

Zarith Nadhira Binti Mohamad Zikri or more likely to be known as Rara Zikry, born 4th Oct 1988. . She was energetic, inspire, and beautiful young lady and fashion student at Limkokwing University. Serius! She was blessed with good looking figure and face. However, this poor lady was attacked by a mild asthma a year ago that have changed her whole life into 360° since then.

Mungkin ramai dah tahu kisah Rara. Her news was everywhere. As far as I know the story has spread widely throughout the net including youtube, tv news, tv shows (WHI TV3), blogger, even her aunt create a charity page for her in Facebook..

Okey! i noe i'm a bit delayed with this, yeah! It was happened a year ago, tapi tak kisah lah i masih nak tulis pasal Rara. Sebab ape? Actually i don't even know her in person.

Dear Rara, i don’t know you at all but i do feel for you and your loved ones. I always pray may someday Allah brings some miracles to you. May you get well soon. Hope one day you would know that your story brings "consciousness" to us who are still "conscious" at these moment. Apa yang terjadi pada Rara sangat menyentuh hati dan mendatangkan keinsafan di sudut hati aku. Secara zahirnya, dia makhluk dan ciptaan Allah SWT yang Masyalah sangat-sangat cantik dan bagi aku cukup sempurna dari segi zahirnya. Namun semua yang ada di bumi dan di langit adalah milikNya yang mutlak........Innalillah, last year March, God tested her, she went into comma for two months, and waking up to a Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy.

Hypo : Less

Oxia : Oxygen

Encephalo : Brain

Pathy : Disorder

Thus conclude us with a condition named Brain Disorder due to Less of Oxygen. Or a condition in which brain tissue is deprived of oxygen and there is global loss of function. The longer brain cells lack oxygen, the more damage occurs. Rara was cut off from any oxygen for about 7 minutes, right after she fainted causing her to be under state of coma.

What was really happened to her? On 19th of March 2010, she was cycling with her best friends and suddenly has difficulty to breathe, asked her friend to get the car to drive her to the hospital. Her friend was still talking to her in the car when she suddenly is quiet, her friend turned around to see her bestfriend foaming around the mouth and when she reached the hospital, doctor pronounced she is in a coma. *jaw drops*

"On that date, 19th March 2010, Lanie, Rara and kawan-kawan yang lain plan nak spend time together. Alaaaa, biasala hujung minggu. Ada yang pergi camping, ada yang pergi shopping, ada yang pergi clubbing, but they choose to go for cycling. Diorang pergi kat area Mahkamah Shah Alam tak salah aku. Ada orang cakap tempat tu keras. Tak tahu lah, orang cakap. Semua tempat kat Shah Alam pon keras, nak nak rumah teres kat Seksyen 2 tu. Melayu buat terok sungguh. Eh, tapi Lanie pon pernah cakap tempat tu keras. Okay, back to our topic. Diorang pon enjoy cycling kat situ. Out of sudden masa tengah have fun, Rara terduduk and sesak nafas. Yes, diorang sedia maklum tahu yang Rara ada asthma, dan mungkin ni asthma attack yang normal. Rara minta hantar dia pergi hospital terus sambil tahan sesak nafas tu. Masa kelam kabut tu, Lanie suruh kawan dia ambil kereta while Lanie tanya Rara nak dia buat CPR tak memandangkan Lanie tahu how to do it. Tapi Rara cakap tak payah and terus ulang minta hantar dia kat hospital. Masa dalam kereta Lanie sempat cakap-cakap lagi dengan Rara but then, Rara diam and mulut dia dah berbuih-buih. Sampai je hospital, doktor cakap dia dah koma."- Azyerahs Ilazahg

Sebagai masyarakat sekeliling, mungkin tak banyak yang dapat kita bantu. Namun kita masih mampu sedekahkan sedikit doa supaya Rara diringankan kesakitan yang ditanggung dan kembali pulih. Semoga sahabat dan keluarga terdekat serta Rara sendiri kuat semangat menghadapi ujian daripada Allah ini. Betul la kata org, kecantikan dan sumua yang ada pada kita, semua nya milik yang mencipta kita. Ustaz pernah berkata, kita diduga kerana Allah sayangkan kita. Maka bersyukurlah, tentu Allah sayangkan dia. Anggaplah semua yang terjadi ada hikmah di sebalik ujian Tuhan ini. Sesungguhnya hanya Allah SWT sahaja yang Maha Mengetahui. Hanya pada Engkau sajalah yang dapat memberi ketabahan pada hati mereka dan Engkaulah ubat segala penyakit.

Rara with her mom

Diriwayatkan Imam Muslim dan Imam Bukhari dari Abu Hurairah ra bahwa Nabi SAW bersabda:

"Tidak satu musibah pun yang menimpa diri seorang Muslim, baik berupa kesusahan dan penderitaan, kesediihan dan kedukaan, maupun penyakit. Bahkan sepotong duri yang mencocok anggotanya, kecuali dihapuskan Allah itu sebagian dari kesalahan-kesalahannya."

"On 19th of March 2010, Zarith Nadhira went into coma for 2 months due to a mild asthma. Initially she was admitted at Darul Ehsan Medical Centre Shah Alam, subsequently referred to Subang Jaya Medical Centre, was admitted in ICU. Alhamdulillah she woke up from coma but was unable to speak or communicate with her parents, relatives and friends. She needs to be fed through a tube at her lower abdomen. Her hands & legs were stiff until today and she needs further medical treatment from specialists at University Hospital. Her diagnosis is Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy, in simple explanation : brain injury due to lack of oxygen because she had difficulty breathing."- Contribution for Rara Zikry's medical expenses Facebook Page.

It is sad to know such a young and pretty girl suddenly fell in such handicapped state. But Rara is so lucky to have so many loving people around her, I mean just look at all the youtube vids, the facebook page and various blog posts made in tribute to her, searching for help by any means. Unfortunately I can’t afford any contribution but my prayers are with her.

Hospital cost for the treatment at Subang Jaya Medical Centre came about RM80,000.00 not to include the cost at DEMC and later some other cost incurred at Sunway Hospital. This time her follow up treatment at Hospital University require intrathecal medications for her spastic episodes which would involve:

1) EDM Lumber Drainage Kit, Qty 1 costing RM900.00 per unit

2) IT Baclofen test doses 1ml/vial (50mcg/ml) Qty 3 costing RM115.00 per unit
3)Intrathecal Drug Delivery Package
i.e Synchromed Programmable Pump, Two piece catheter kit, Tunnel rod Qty 1 costing RM45,000.00
4)IT Baclofen 20ml/vial (500mcg/ml) Qty 1-2 vials /mth costing RM670 per unit

This time the cost would be about RM47,000.00 excluding hospital fees.

The treatment were so costly as such we hope donations from you will lighten the burden that Nadhira's parent had to bear. Thank you for your kind donations and may Allah bless you.
