Azmin told NST that his 83-year-old mother, fondly known as Mak Tom, was admitted to the intensive care unit on Oct 10 and underwent surgery to clear a blood clot.
“The neurosurgeon had successfully cleared the blood clot. She came out strong during post-surgery treatment.
“Then, some nasty bacteria developed in her lungs for several weeks, but alhamdulillah, she recovered well after some antibiotics.
“Last week, she was very active but unfortunately, about noon yesterday she suffered another stroke and has since gone into coma,” he told NST in a text message.
Azmin said he was told by the doctor that her condition would deteriorate, adding that he was with her in the hospital every day after office, and extended his thanks to all well-wishers.
