JOHOR BARU: Doctors at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital have removed the respirator that has helped snatch thief victim Sanorfizah Saleh, 31, to breathe since she was admitted nine days ago.
She has shown much improvement, said husband Azhar Md Ali, but his wife was still unconscious.
He said doctors informed him that the respirator was removed at 1pm and his wife was able to breathe without any mechanical aid.
Azhar said she will be transferred to the neurology ward today to allow doctors to monitor the injuries she suffered in her brain after the motorcycle fall that put her in a coma on Oct 20.
Doctors at the hospital had saved her baby, named Amirul Naim by her husband, in a 14-hour operation while she was unconscious.
Sanorfizah was travelling from her home in Masai to pick up some goods from a direct-selling stockist in Pasir Gudang when two men on a motorcycle snatched her handbag. One of them also kicked her motorcycle, causing her to fall.
She was rushed to a nearby health clinic and then to the hospital, where doctors also worked to remove blood clots in her head.
“Although she can breathe on her own now, she has not regain consciousness due to the serious head injuries she suffered in the incident,” said Azhar, 33.
“The doctor told me that normally a person will regain consciousness between four and five days after an accident but my wife has not regained consciousness for nine days.
“That’s why they are referring her to the neurology ward,” he said.
Of his five sons, Azhar, said the state welfare department has given the family emergency aid following a directive by state Local Government and Health Committee chairman Datuk Halimah Sadique.
He declined to give the sum, but added that it was a “small amount” and it would help him buy baju Melayu for his sons for Hari Raya.
Azhar has handed Amirul Naim to his sister-in-law, who wished to be known only as Kak Siti, and her husband. The baby has been with her family since Monday.
Having the baby as anak angkat (foster son), said Kak Siti, is a gift from God.
“Dia anugerah Tuhan,” she said, adding: “I feel so happy to have a son this Hari Raya.”
The mother of two daughters, said with a tinge of regret, however, that the family had received the child under such sad circumstances.
“I would have preferred that his mother was healthy and fine.
“My husband is also very happy to have this child but he cried when he saw the baby’s picture in The Star,” she said. Her husband and the child’s father, Azhar, are brothers.
Kak Siti plans to take Amirul Naim to Azhar’s kampung in Tampin for the Hari Raya celebrations.
“He is a good baby and gets up only once or twice at night for his milk. My husband also looks after him, especially in the early mornings,” she said.
Kak Siti said she is concerned about the well-being of Sanorfizah and Azhar’s other sons and urged the public to help out.
“They are facing difficult times. And it would be good if people could help them out.”
