Just one week before departure, Zaskia faced a difficult situation. Her youngest child, Kama, had a high fever that wouldn’t go down despite being given various treatments.

"Kama is sick... fever for 3 days hasn’t gone down even with paracetamol and ibuprofen," Zaskia wrote on Instagram. In the end, the doctor prescribed antibiotics and antivirals before Kama was hospitalized due to declining oxygen saturation.
