Some days and nights at the hospital ahead. Mika begins his treatment tomorrow. You can read about ATG treatment for aplastic anemia here. Some rough and tough side effects to expect. Give Mika strength to meet and cope with the challenge ahead! He’ll make it! Capice? Photo by Karin.

Co-exploring the big big world.
Keeps us strong! What? All the love and support you give! Now we have a diagnosis. Now we have a plan. Now, let’s act upon it! Mika will get well!
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!
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.
Happy mum and little kid.
Thanks! Very colorful, the way we like it. Supporting a circular economy!
At the backyard. Deshi nags about going out every day. Sometimes we listen.
And soon he will grow this out!
Today Mika got a blood transfusion at Vrinnevi hospital.
Virtual lipstick on!
