Mika at the hospital again | #MikaTheHero
This morning we found Mika with fever. So when we went to the hospital to deliver his daily dose of cortisone, we asked them to check it out. Tests showed no infection. But with fever at 39.2 C, they decided to keep him overnight for observation and give him antibiotics every sixth hour from 1pm. I am home with the cats, Karin is at the hospital. All will be fine! Here Mika is at the play therapy.
Hot, hot, hot! | #work
Peak summer! 30 degrees Celsius. At work today, the fan worked hard to cool us down.

So great being home again, after the days at the hospital. Now, let’s hope the treatment will work!
Treatment day 4/5 – fighting boredom | #MikaTheHero
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!

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!
