Aafwan Nayl Bin Nasrulridza

Hello! My name is Aafwan Nayl Bin Nasrulridza. I was born on 2nd of April 2021. I have a brother twin and a big sister. I was diagnosed by doctor as Mixed Spastic Cerebral Palsy at the age of 1 year 4 months old.

When I was 2 months old, my mother notice that my development is slight slower than my brother twin and I was also always crying. Thus my parent brought me to the clinic. Doctor was check and found out that I got tongue tie which it restrict the movement of my tongue and my weight is smaller than my brother twin. My mother also noticed the circumference of my forehead is smaller than my brother twin. Thus my mother request the doctor to do CT Brain. After do detailed investigate, doctor found out that one of my brain side is not functioning well, because of this problem, it will affected my muscle and brain growth well.

My parents didn’t give up on me. They still ask advice from doctor if there is any place for me to go for therapy. And the doctor was suggest to my parent to go to Wishesland. On Friday noon around mid of October 2022, my father call to Wishesland and ask for appointment to assess my condition. So my parent brought me to the Wishesland and there I met Teachers of Wishesland. They are really supportive and teach my parent a lot about the do’s and don’ts about Cerebral Palsy. From here, my parent and I get a New Chapter of Life. Wishesland have save my life, this is me around 6 months of life when first visiting Wishesland.

At the age of 6 months, I still can’t roll, unable to lift up my head and neck, and unable to sit independently. I need full assistance in my daily routine in order for me to do all the activity. At Wishesland, I have attends therapy sessions twice a week. After 4 months later, I can turn myself to side and side. My mother was so happy to see my progression. My teacher teaches me a lot during therapy. Every session therapy, both my teacher and Mama will guide me on how to roll side to side. Besides, I also good in creeping as I always push my body forward. My Mama called me Commando as I always love to do creeping activity. My message to others is nothing is impossible if we never ever to try it by ourself.
