Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
My son Muhammad Athif Fahri was diagnosed with a rare disease called SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) type 1, which expert doctors say 60% of babies who suffer from the disease will not survive and reach the age of 2 years. In Malaysia there are only a few cases so far and the average case in the world is 10 thousand/50 cases. For now, there have 3 suitable treatment in Malaysia and the medicine is too costly that can cure it.
At the age of newborn up to 2 months, baby Fahri can still breathe on his own and breastfeed. When he was 3 months old, baby Fahri's muscles got weaker and the doctor inserted a milk tube and baby Fahri had to breathe using a breathing aid (non-invasive ventilator bipap). His hands, feet and all his muscles began to weaken day by day. Baby Fahri often stops breathing, his lips turn blue if the ventilator is opened even for a moment. If before I could take Fahri to bathe in the bathroom, now I only have to wipe baby Fahri on the bed. At the moment baby Fahri still can't lift his legs, head and hands well like other babies.
Once upon a time, baby Fahri stopped breathing and the spo2 oxygen reading dropped to 60%. Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor said that baby Fahri's no hope for recover but, God still extended baby Fahri's life. It turns out that baby Fahri is a very strong baby against his pain. For now, I go back and forth from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur as the best effort for my son. However, baby Fahri needs the medicine Risdiplam which needs to be bought from abroad to help him stay strong. The medicine is very expensive and costs RM40,400 per bottle. This medicine also only lasts for 30 days per bottle and Fahri needs an estimated 7 bottles of medicine in total within a year.
I ask for prayers from all of you. Please help my child, help with the cost of his treatment so that this little child can also grow up and live a normal life. I really hope for your kindness to help baby Fahri.
This is the test we have to accept and as father and mother, we are trying our best to get treatment for baby Fahri, and we will not be able to do it without your help. Please pray that baby Fahri continues to be strong!
