Ayah was diagnosed with Dementia/ Alzheimer since 2 or 3 years ago and his behaviour & memory condition has worsen ever since. Last year was the beginning of the tough time for my mom. Ayah acted strangely, he got mood swings, no one couldn't correct him when he did something wrong, he refused to read Quran, he peed in planter box, he refused to take a shower, always woke up in the middle of the night making noise and wandered outside the house. All of these has made mom so worried and lack of sleep.
We gave him supplement & medication from doctors - yet he was just becoming too 'active'
We stopped giving him medication - nothing improved. Keep repeating his chant:
"when are we going back home?"
This is our home, Ayah..
All of us almost give up.
We seriously didn't know what to do to calm him & ease my mom's burden.
And today, Ma texted me via whatsapp saying that they (Ma, Ayah & my brothers) went to see an Ustaz who possessed skill in Islamic treatment & Alhamdulillah so far things are quite 'relieving'. Why we opt for Islamic treatment? Because we thought that Ayah might got a 'saka' given to him without his knowing. Mom always experiencing Ayah visioning him seeing an ape, Ayah casually talked to an 'unseen kid' & stuff. So, since Ayah's late uncle also facing difficulty during his life to get rid of this thing, we thought, why don't we try alternative treatment other than monthly Dementia follow-up?
Please Ya Allah, let this be the last treatment & Ayah will gain back his memory & behaviour like he used to be. I want him to know that his last child has already gotten 2 degrees in her hand & now is an architect! I want him to feel satisfied with his achievement of bringing us all up to this level. I want him to have a feeling, I want him able to talk & express his feelings..Allah, please.
I miss you, Ayah.
