Alicia...
How's it going, being the big sister?? You know, baby Ashon is going to look up to you for assistance as he grows.

My son was extrememly jealous when my daughter was born. They are 4-1/2 years apart. So what we did, was buy him a baby doll. Just a plain, simple one. So when we bathed our baby, he did the same. We fed her, he fed his, etc...and when we took her for walks in her stroller..he purchased him one of those cheap lil $5 toy strollers, and he could walk his baby with us. It made a world of difference and the jealousy didn't last long at all. Also, before bedtime every night, our son got some extra story and attention time, "big brother time" we called it!
It's a huge adjustment, but one that Alicia will overcome in no time!!

Wishing you all a great week!

Love and hugs,

Ha! I suppose it would be weird having a baby boy in the house...since you are used to girls....hehe...and I am the opposite...I am used to the boys and if I have a baby girl next...I suppose I will be saying that having a girl is weird! Ha! I just wanted to stop by and thank you for all the support that you have been giving me and i have been thinking about you and your family tonight.
I love you,
Charisse

Hey Alicia,
I am so happy about your results. Praise the Lord for the decrease in blast count to 2%. Praise Him for the vanishing of monosomy 7. God is good. You keep being stong sweetie.

Hello everyone,

Lil Anshon is one week old today. He is doing so well. Erika is taking him to the doctor this afternoon for his one week check up. He is such a good little baby, Im at Erikas now watching him while she goes to the doctor to get her staples removed.

I was right about Alicia being jelous. She has been staying with me since Lil Anshon was born, Erika is still moving very slow and Alicia is such a little busy body. We were over Erika's Sunday and the very first time I picked up lil Anshon Alicia wasn't having it. She jumped up right in my lap and wouldn't get down so I had to put the baby down. We are going to have to work on sharing Mee-ma. She also tried to jump off the porch and Erika had to catch her, Erika said that felt like she was ripping open inside. Hopefully by next week Erika will be feeling better so Alicia can go home. She starts back to school Monday, so I think we will spend Sunday again so Alicia can get used to being around the baby and being careful with Erika.

We finally found a Pediatician here that we like, she has a lot of special need children as patients and she is very eager to learn all she can about FA. That made me feel at ease finally.

I will update later, the baby is stirring so I think he might need a dry diaper, ( its so weird having a little boy)

I hope all is well with everyone.

Michelle

HELLO EVERYONE,

I BECAME ANOTHER MEE-MA TODAY. ALICIAS LITTLE BROTHER WAS BORN THIS MORNING AT 8:30 AM. ERIKA DID JUST FINE DURING HER C-SECTION. "LIL ANSHON" IS SOOOOOO CUTE. HE WEIGHED 7 LBS 15 OZ.

OF COURSE THE FIRST THING I DID WAS COUNT HIS FINGERS AND THEY WERE ALL THERE. HE DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF FA THAT I COULD SEE, ALTHOUGH IM NOT GETTING ANY HIGH HOPES UNTIL HIS RESULTS COME BACK.

THE TEST IS THIS EVENING. MY SISTER IS TAKING ALICIA TO THE HOSPITAL TO SEE HIM. I KNOW SHE IS GOING TO BE SO JELOUS.

MY FRIEND IS GOING TO PUT PICTURES OF HIM ON ALICIAS SIGHT THIS EVENING SO HOPEFULLY EVERYONE CAN SEE HOW CUTE HE IS. ( YES IM A PROUD GRANDMA)

Hello.

well we are in the waiting stages again. alicia is going to have another biopsy done in 2 months, hopefully they stay the same as last which said her monosomy 7 had dropped low enough for it to be counted and her blast count was down to 2%. i know that the monosomy can come right back so im not going to get my hopes up about it staying away because i have not had very good luck lately on having high hopes.


alicia and me did a live interview for childrens miracle network yesterday. i was kinda scared but alicia was herself and took everyones attention. i wish i had all her energy.


the count down is on... im going to be another mee-ma in 4 days. i am sooo excited. the first thing im doing is counting for 5 fingers. i just know he is going to be so cute. erika is having a c-section at 8:30 on thursday the 15th.


ill put pictures on alicias site just as soon as i get them.

Hello,


Sorry I haven't updated on Alicia in a while. I still have troubles finding a computer to use.

We made it to Cincinnati safe. Our first flight went just as planned, we had a layover in Minnesota, and got to see Dianne and Michelle. That was soooo cool. Dianne fixed us an awesome Breakfeast. Thanks so much Dianne. Alicia was (and still is) very excited and wired. She knows she isn't at home and is testing mee-ma alot. I guess she's just beibg a tipacal 4 yr old.

We got great news, Alicia's biopsy results came back and they were awesome. Her blast count was confirmed at 2% and the abnormal Monosomy seven went away for now. This is all very hard to believe. Just within the past 2 months I went from being told my baby was going to transplant to finding out her counts are fine for now, I truely believe that it was a wake up call. Hopefully I will be able to handle it a little better when the time comes for transplant.

We have a couple of appointments in the morning before the family meeting on Saturday and Sunday. I will let everyone know how they turn out.


Thank you everyone so much for all the prayers you have said for Alicia.


O yea I almost forgot. Erika is having the baby on the 15th of March at 8:30 am. I am so excited to finally get to hold my grandson.
