baby blue eyes

Avoiding the phrase “I don’t have time...”, will soon help you to realize that you do have the time needed for just about anything you choose to accomplish in life. - bo bennett

it has been a very long and tiring week.. aduh.. masa berlalu terlalu pantas! exam semakin dekat.. dup dap, dup dap...

nway, nak cite sikit je pasal baby transformers.. heh.. siapa? di mana? kenapa? bila?
citenye gini..

masa 1st day masuk SCN, sy ada ternampak sorang baby ni tgh tido nyenyak (as sound as a baby hehe), all limbs were in cast. my first impression? fractured limbs in an infant- either non-accidental injury, or some congenital anomaly that make the infant prone to fracture. n tada!! actually the infant had severe type 3 osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)! what an unlucky infant! then i asked about the infant to an HO there, and the HO said, actually the mother also has it, n the mother has blue eyes! ok ok.. blue sclera, not the iris la. so, sy dan rakan2 x sabar2 nk tggu the mother datang so that dapat tgk mata dia (sgt la perak ok)..

tunggu punya tunggu, hari jumaat tu cast dah xde, kena bukak dah.. dan akhirnya.. the mother came with the grandmother. first impression: the mother is short and a bit kyphosis. and then, ada 2 physiotherapists came, asking me, 'ni ke baby transformers tu?' i was like, 'uh? oh ok.. yes, he is'.. lol! no more cast, that's y they were confused, mana la baby transformers tu.. ahaqs! actually the infant was about to b discharged n referred to HUKM. he was in the SCN since day 6 of life until that day, about day 43 of life kot. lama gile..

so, sy dgn muka selamba mula la interview the mother n grandmother. the grandma said, actually the mother dulu pun slalu patah tulang (bahu, clavicle, hip etc. that is why the mother looks short and a bit kyphosis) since she can walk. but not as severe as this infant la. after dah interview tu, sy minta nak tgk mata the mother. waa!!! the sclera were blues! greyish-blue! yeay! first time tgk tu, slama ni tgk kat buku je kan. n then, masa the mother nak tgk her baby, baby tu bukak mata sket (akhirnya!) n ternampak la mata biru nya itu.. super cool! itu lah ceritanya si baby blue eyes..

their eyes look something like this

ok, kepada sesiapa yg bukan in medical line, sila cari sendiri pasal OI ni. basically, it's the brittle bone disease, autosomal dominant inheritance. interesting! if u are curious enough la.. selamat mencari! =)


owh, tetibe teringat yg sy pernah tgk iris yg different colours, sebelah biru n sebelah dark brown, pon masa paediatrics posting. it's the heterochromia iridium in Waardenburg Syndrome. pun autosomal dominant. that one pun cool gile!

their eyes (both mother and son) look like this, really! super cool rite? they dun need to use contact lenses, hehe..

masyaAllah, betapa uniknya ciptaan Allah.. cantik kan? dan saya bertuah utk dapat belajar dan melihat sendiri. Alhamdulillah.. tak sesia blaja medic ni, walaupun terpaksa berhempas pulas, hehe.. doakan kami sem7, 9 and 10 pass exam nx month. mau pass cepat2! =)

~ teringat encik AB, "anak saya bermata biru" dgn slang nya itu. apa khabar dia ye? lama x nampak =D
