We have been to the Holy Land!

As I told you before, we have had the highest hopes in the doctors from Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. We have just returned after ten days of investigations and meetings with a team of real professionals and extraordinary people.

Bibi was taken a new bone marrow sample and while he was under anesthesia they took all the blood necessary for the rest of hematological and genetic tests. It was a great relief for me, as a mother, not to see him in tears and trying to escape the needles.

Their recommendation was, unfortunately, the one we were afraid of: bone marrow transplant. And because Bibi is still very little, we will try another medicated alternative and pray to God that it works and as Bibi`s grandma says:"" the hemoglobin factory will start running”.

At the hospital, in Jerusalem, we were surprised to find a Romanian nun, fluent in several languages - Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Greek, and Romanian - who would help anyone who needed a comforting word or a translator with the doctors. She insisted that Bibi receives the blessing from the priests at the Holy Sepulcher and the Romanian Church and for that, we thank God we met her. I did not think there were still people with warm souls, who in kindness and humility live only for the good of others.

I know she is not familiar with the technology and will not see this post but "Thank you Sister Mary!"
