My friends in Pakistan

Hi Sharmin,

Nope, I'm still running on dry solar power

Well, things are starting to normalize and hopefully I will get a transfusion next year (don't get alarmed it's only a few hours away)

You are lucky that things are starting to get normal at your side, we are still waiting, Zainab's transfusion is due saturday and i am worried.

ZAINI.

I hope that things get better throughout the country and Zainab gets her transfusion without any holdups.

As for me, the transfusion center is open now but there is no blood to transfuse. They are just transfusing those who bring their own donors. I'm still hunting for one; let's hope I get one and that too who turns out to be my blood group; because people don't even know which blood group they have.

Somebody tie me down to my chair!!!!

After 25 days of transfusion my Hb is 10.1 g/dl

Transfusion POSTPONED!!!



Thankyou Everyone!!! for your prayers

Woo hoo - way to go Sajid!!!! Yeah!!

Congratulations Sajid, i am soooooooooo happy for you

Thanks Everyone!!,

I think this is nothing less than a miracle. Just imagine; a couple of weeks before my last transfusion I was suffering from G.I infection and my Hb sunk down to 5.5. When I first received the unbelievable 11.8 result after 10 days of transfusion the next was postponed to another 10 days. I was wondering that it could have been a machine error, deep inside I was worried that the next result will be quite low as I knew how quickly my Hb falls...and then.... cr@p started happening with the country just when it was time for me to get a transfusion and there was no way getting blood. However, things stabilised and I got my Hb checked from another Lab (just in case the previous result was too good to be true) but to my surprise my Hb was 10.1 just enough to postpone my transfusion again for a couple of days.

So I think it wasn't a lab error at all, I believe that God All-mighty blessed me to cope with all the things that were about to happen. Had my Hb behaved in a normal trend or like it did in mild infection just weeks before, I would have been in serious trouble

Even now I'm a little bit worried as there is blood in the bank but they don't get enough continuous electricity to screen and prepare blood. We are suffering from serious electrical outages about 6 hours a day!

But I have faith in God Almighty that I would be just fine even if can't get blood for a couple of more days.

  Sajid,

ZAINI.
