Kasih’s Journey

Kasih’s big operation is just 2 days away now! It has been a difficult time of waiting for Nur, her Mum -like any Mum, there is concern that she will remain healthy prior to her operation & of course that she will make a good recovery. Please pray for Kasih and her Mum on Tuesday […]

Happy New Year to all!
It seems that things are taking longer than expected for young Kasih -with her surgery being postponed once more until 13th January
We expect the decision was due to the shorter staffing during the Christmas break - but its much better to think of Kasih having access to a full complement of […]

The Adelaide Courier has picked up Kasih’s story -

Read on for the story:
Kasih’s birth brought overwhelming grief to her mother, but her life is bringing joy and hope to her family, her native island in Indonesia and the wider Muslim and Christian communities.
The 20-month-old from Halmahera, in what was once part of the rich spice […]

Kasih’s story has gone far and wide this week, with the Adelaide Courier picking Kasih’s story up.  Look out for future posts on that… 
Surgery plans are well underway - Dr Nicole met with Prof David on a quick flyin trip to Adelaide from Christchurch last week - things are on schedule - with Kasih due […]

Kasih is doing very well with the tissue expander in place.  Her face looks quite swollen as you can see, but she does not seem overly effected by it - running and playing at the park, and thoroughly enjoying her zoo visit yesterday!!
She does seem to enjoy riding her ‘car’ everywhere!!

Martin took Kasih to the park the other week with Nur.  Kasih apparently is a bit of a ‘petrol head’ - all she wants to do is ride on her little car and run around like a crazy thing!  she is so full of beans!!!
 
 

Kasih’s surgery has started!
Kasih has had her first General Anaesthetic, on Tuesday just gone - for the insertion of the Tissue Expander.  She is one step closer to the major surgery.
Martin tells us that Kasih was looking very subdued.  Nur has been up constantly with Kasih, so its been a big few days for her […]

Saturday’s outing:   Kasih and Nur went with Martin and Virginia Gare to Cleland Conservation Park where they had the opportunity to pat and feed kangaroos and koalas.  Kasih was keen to keep feeding the kangaroos even when they were full!! 
The pair have settled in well at the nurses’ quarters, making friends with the three other […]

It’s been a huge week for Kasih, but she’s really taken things in stride with her usual “fearless” manner!
This week Kasih has seen:
- the Ophthalmologist (Eye docs),
- Orthodontist and Paediatric dentist,
- Nutritionist,
- Social worker and of course
- Prof David, Plastic surgeon.
In addition she has had x-rays and been to “digital media” for pictures that will […]

Kasih seems to be taking the trip all in stride!  Martin has been arranging some of the necessities we take for granted for Kasih and Nur:  stroller for Kasih, a prepaid mobile so Nur has some way to contact her support crew if she needs to… simple stuff
Martin got the pram today, but […]
