One of the strongest things to deal with at the hospital, and wait for e. g. those five hours of ATG infusion to sink in, is boredom. Here, with the help of good old Yatzy! All fine, tomorrow last treatment!

Diagnosis set – Mika has aplastic anemia | #MikaTheHero
Now we have a diagnosis. Mika has aplastic anemia. It’s a serious blood disease, where his bone marrow doesn’t produce blood cells. No red, no white, no trombocytes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aplastic_anemia Next week they will start with ATG treatment, and start to look after a donor of stem cells for a bone marrow transplant. A process of months ahead. We’re definitely in need of mental and moral support and lots of prayers. We keep strong! We will make it!
Mika getting trombocyte transfusion | #MikaTheHero
While I was working today, Karin took Mika to the hospital for a trombocyte transfusion. The back has some petechiae and bruises, hopefully getting better now, beyond transfusion.

A Bonus Birthday | #HappyBirthday
Today Hedwig and Jippii came for a visit. Since we were at the hospital June 26, my mother-in-law couldn’t celebrate my birthday. Done today! Waffles with jam and cream, a good dinner and some presents (in pic). Thank you Hedwig!

Did it today. The annual together-with-my-kids Birthday Photo at the playground terrace at the kiddie hospital in Linköping, with Mika undergoing investigation. Not the regular place to celebrate. But – love is everywhere! Thanks for a loveful b-day, family!
We’re in Linköping | #MikaTheHero
At the hospital. Investigation continues. Here – a little pizza break.
A day of changes | #Family
Today, we took a walk on town, and had a break at a hamburger restaurant. Mika was eating ketchup by straw! Then we got a call from the doctor since we wondered about why Mika gets many bruises. We were recommended to do a checkup at the hospital. We did so, and did some testing. Investigating further, and will share what is going on when we get definite results.

Happy Midsummer! Happy Solstice! | #Family
Took part in the celebration in Folkparken, but left early. Karin is sick, so we chilled at home afterwards.
