Day 5 At Sickle Cell Camp

One day removed from being dismissed from the hospital is a time for rest and re-charging the batteries. After many tests to see if my crisis was caused by heart related issues, it was concluded that I was sickling in my sternum...yet it didn't present as pain...hm. Oh well, I guess I still remain a medical mystery. Aren't all Sickle patients medical mysteries? We remain that because our disease is not a glamourous disease. Besides, what Doctors or Hospitals want to care for the Sickle Cell population? Hm...We need health care reform...with the Public Option.


Day 5 at Sickle Cell Camp.....


The children received a VIP at camp today...Kurt Rambis, asst. coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. Can you imagine their excitement...A Laker, The NBA Champions, came to visit them?

Another Camp Story

As I mentioned before...Last night the camp had a scavenger hunt and one of the staff dressed up as the princess. She wore a blonde wig and heavy red lipstick. She was really working her stuff. Today, one of the little boys came up to her and said, "you are the princess!" She responded, "that wasn't me." He responded, "yes it was, ...you have the same teeth."

You have to love these kids...they are a unique blessing. To view pictures from camp, go to the link below.
