Missing you all

Dear friends,

I have been quite busy lately and haven't had as much time to login as I would like.  We are dealing with Lil A's antibodies, which will hopefully happen soon. 

Also, he had a little accident last night.  He tripped and broke his wrist yesterday.  He had a procedure done to straighten it which seems to have gone well.  The most difficult part is keeping him entertained during the next 5 to 6 weeks while it heals.  He is very active and was looking forward to his hockey, baseball and golf that he does on a regular basis.  Hopefully everything will heal soon and he will be back to playing very soon.

I miss you all very much and pray that you are all doing very well,

Love to you all,   

Sharmin

Dearest Sharmin

I hope little A's wrist will heal soon so he can go back to his sports, but what is the plan in dealing with antibodies???

I am sure everythig will be just the way you want it to be

Sharmin,

I feel so bad for little A. I guess his hockey will have to be confined to watching the playoffs on TV for awhile. I hope this antibody situation is soon resolved. They do eventually fade.

Give little A a high five from me...on his good hand. 

Thank you Manal and Andy,

Currently lil A is getting prednisone for his antibodies, but it does not seem to be helping.  I also hope his arm heals soon.  He has a long cast on his arm from his fingers to his bicep. 

I will keep you all posted,

Sharmin

I wish I were there to help out, Lil A.....maybe do a funny dance or tell you a long story to entertain you...sports is not my arena, else maybe would have chatted with you about that too!
Sharmin....do take care of yourself too.....Lil A needs you the most at this time....
Hope this time passes soon.....

Take care all of you...............

Lil A,

Get well soon!   

Sharmin - you take care too  -   

I've learnt one thing in life - No matter how tough things are - try to focus on whats good. A cast immediately reminds me of all the art work that can be done on it.  :-)   Distracting the mind works best - for kids and adults alike.

Laughter is therapeutic too - Even if it means looking up jokes on the net and making someone laugh once a day.

It helps to make a list of things we enjoy - and use that list when we are low.

Hope this helps!

Lil A must have really tripped bad to have broken his wrist. May he deal and heal soon. Inshallah everything will resolve soon. When I am feeling so bad about his antibody issues I can understand what you must be going through. Keep your patience and I am sure you will have wonderful news to share with us soon.

Umair, Madhavi, Preety and Maha,

Thank you all so much for your wishes.  He tripped and feel quite hard, he also rolled his wrist causing it to fracture and slip out of place. 

I am a little frustrated because even though he has a cast covering most of his arm he continues to go outside to play hockey, soccer and even golf!  I hope that the bone does not move and that it heals properly.  It is so hard to get boys to sit down and wait for things to heal. 

I hope that you all are doing really, really well.  My thoughts are always with you all, wish you all the best,

Love,

Sharmin

Sharmin,

I'm actually quite happy to know that little A is not letting this hold him back. As long as it's set properly, and I am sure it is, he should be fine.

Thanks Andy,

Two more weeks in the cast.  I am also glad that he is not sitting around moping and that he is continuing to play.  The last x ray showed that his bone was healing well and that it was straight.  He is so eager to get back to his sports. 

He is still being transfused every two weeks, I think that the doctor may increase his prednisone dose briefly - hopefully hitting him a little harder will stop the antibodies.  His iron levels were excellent so far, we haven't checked them since his transfusion frequency increased - but I hope that they are still low.   I don't want to go back to desferal ever again.

I didnt log in for ages. So I only read it now. I am glad it heals beautiful. Two more weeks to go. I think it is over before you notice!
I am sorry to hear about the antibodies. I thought the problem was already resolved. Too bad it still plays it stupid games. I really hope the new dose of prednisone is going to do it's job. You four deserve to live without that problem!

Thank you so much Dore    I hope that you are doing great.  How are your studies? 

I hope to be on more often soon. 

Love,

Sharmin

Call me if u get a chance tomorrow. Sorry I haven't seen this post until today! 

Sorry to hear about little a...I hope Ari is as brave and willful as he is!  Always praying for u.

Dear friends, thank you for your ongoing support. 

Charisma dear, I look forward to calling you to chat real soon.  Lil A may get his cast off tomorrow if the fracture healed properly.  He can barely wait to get it off and get back to normal. 

I also wanted to share with you all that I have been accepted to law school for the fall and if all goes well I will be a lawyer in 3 years:)  I hope that I can do some good with the knowledge that I gain. 

Sending my best to you all,

Love,

Sharmin
