~THANKS FOR VISITING YASHAR'S PAGE~

YASHAR WITH HIS BEST BUDDY, FRESH!



Yashar was diagnosed with Acquired Severe Aplastic Anemia (Idiopathic) on June 2004, the day after Father's Day. SAA is bonemarrow failure and is rare in children (4-6 in 1 million annual diagnosed in the U.S.) The only known cure is a succesful BMT. Yashar has 3 siblings, but none were a match and no match was found in the National Bone Marrow Registry either. On July 12, 2004, he underwent ATG/Cyclosporine therapy and is currently in remission . Late December 2006, Yashar was once again put on CsA after counts began to slowly drop. Thanks to God he's doing well!

Hi Everyone,

UPDATE: Latest Counts: 07/28/08

Yashar had a Pentamdine treatment and saw Dr. Wong on 7/28/08. All is well.

WBC: 6.5
Hgb: 12.4
Plt: 148K
ANC: 3510

CsA reduced by 25mg

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Glad to report that all is going well. This week marks four years since the time Yashar was diagnosed. Thankfully he's doing well. His latest counts look good and Dr. Wong has reduced the CsA by 25mg once again.

Counts:

WBC: 7.7
Hgb: 12.2
Plts: 155K
ANC: 3773

Liver and Kidney functions are all within normal ranges thanks to water, water, and more water.

That's about it for now. Summer is coming along just fine, Katrina is doing all the fun-stuff while Yashar tends to get stuck playing online-games until I disconnect him and make him take "Fresh" on a walk. Oh well...

Take care and blessings to all

Norma
