Nazizi’s Health Battle With Son Jazeel
Nazizi has had a rough and tough time with her son whom she realized had profound hearing loss when he was a few months old.
She fought so hard, with love, dedication and compassion, with the help of her husband to see her son get better.
Jazeel as young as he was was fitted with hearing aids on 28.02.2023, but, unfortunately, they noticed it didn’t help as much to develop his speech.
Naz enrolled him in a Cochlear Implant Surgery on 3.08.2023 and it was successful and an emotional moment for the family.
He responded to sound after the CI (Cochlear Implant) was switched on 05.09.2023 and the family was grateful to God and fans for the support and prayers.
Nazizi wrote, “Patience is something we are learning everyday. Patience and faith that all will work out. It’s been about a week since the switch on and tomorrow the speech therapy starts.”
Sending love and light to Nazizi and her family during this tough time.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun (Indeed, To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return).
