Fortunately Aisha has all her lumbar bones. That means there was one extra piece of bone? What a bless? Because of that hemivertebra, her spine could not grow normally and would affect other organs development as she grows.
Even though I knew that:
"Congenital scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that is caused by a defect that was present at birth. It occurs in only 1 in 10,000 newborns and is much less common than the type of scoliosis that begins in adolescence"
But deep in my heart I always asked myself what did i do wrong? What did i took during pregnancy? Something I ate? Any external factor? Supplement? Age factor maybe?
Dr said it just random. Just being 'lucky' to be selected by Allah SAW. As Muslim we redho and believe there are always something good behind the worst situation.
One more thing: No Insurance would cover for congenital sickness. Yeah....The operation cost was very expensive. Yes even though it is a government hospital, we are not government servants so we had to pay by ourselves. I think government servants still has to pay but will get discount. What we were paying (that costs so high) was to the supplier. For the hospital services, there would be some charges but it was very small compared to if you chose private hospital.

There are four types of scoliosis. The common one is idiopathic scoliosis. You must be aware of your spine curvature or your kids alignment. Please be alert. For CS, only operation is an option.
