visiting a friend

My Ludo’s partner, Umair, has been warded in Sunway Hospital for almost 2 weeks. He was diagnosed from Aplastic Anaemia, a rare disease that only happen to 2 out of a million people. It is a condition when your bone marrow cannot functionally produce new cells to replenish blood cell. Normally we need all 3 blood cells: red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes) and platelets (trombocytes). Aplastic Anaemia sufferers have lower all of those 3 blood cells counts.

As by today, Umair doesn’t have any more platelets produced. We needed to put mask because his body resistance is way down low. His friends who happened to be my housemate, are looking and contacting his family and researching information about bone marrow transplant procedure and the medical payment. It cost alot. 300 thousand plus.

Wish you get well soon.
