sprite

happy K day? Does something like that exist, she wondered... Looking up jilli's lovely picture and seeing that wonderful face, the sprite decided that this wise lady would know... happiness and Ks don't have to be mutually excluding.

12:58 am

jillibus

LOL sprite!

12:58 am

melonheadjujube

1:02 am

jillibus

several months ago there was a cranky new babble-tester who got quite insulting and objected to stid's story-telling and other chat, demanding clues. I told her she was being rude. She urged us to see her blog and and I did, to find she called me an "80-year-old hag", and at that point I was only 79! Not fair!

1:03 am

4:40 am

diem

4:40 am

sprite

I am getting a tremendous lickety fireworks

4:41 am

FranMag

andree, my husband and daughter both have the trait.

4:41 am

Andree

i thought i saw you finish earlier sprite

4:41 am

FranMag

good news is you can't catch malaria!

4:41 am

FranMag

yay sprite!!!

4:41 am

sprite

lol diem. I even tried DNA... how stupid can one get

4:42 am

FranMag

diem i tried it also. :-)

4:42 am

sprite

nope Andree, wasn't me. Or you must have seen me finish my Ks.

4:42 am

Andree

yes worked well when we lived in asia for 8 years fran, i had no worries, lol

4:42 am

sprite

Fran: ke x 5, ki x 4

4:42 am

diem

well i should know

4:42 am

FranMag

the university is doing a study of it here because it's more common in Asians.

4:43 am

FranMag

thanks sprite! that helps.

4:43 am

Andree

fran, my son[bambam ] and his son also have it

4:43 am

sprite

I know! LOL.
Ks are just dreadful.

4:43 am

sprite

I am sorry for all those sickies :(

4:43 am

FranMag

my daughter, my husband and myself all had blood drawn to go into the study.

4:43 am

Andree

there are a lot worse things so we never take any notice just all need extra rest

4:44 am

FranMag

yes sprite, it's not sooo bad, very mild anemia is probably closest thing to it.

4:45 am

sprite

I thought part of it was terrible fevers.

4:45 am

FranMag

when she found out i was of micronesian descent, our doctor was upset that i didn't get tested before we got pregnant.

4:46 am

FranMag

that's for malaria, but the thallasemia keeps you from getting malaria.

4:46 am

sprite

looks like a great babble word, but what does thallesemia mean?

4:47 am

FranMag

my son lucked out and doesn't have it, daughter got the 25% draw!

4:47 am

FranMag

let me find a website sprite.

4:47 am

Andree

yes fran could have been a disaster as if you both have it, baby can get the thallasaemia A major.. unthinkable

4:48 am

FranMag

http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/u
vahealth/peds_hematology/thalapth.cfm

4:48 am

FranMag

sorry for the long url sprite

4:48 am

sprite

jeez, I feel really dumb now. Gonna check google.

4:48 am

Andree

other counties call it sickle cell anaemia, common amongst african americans

4:49 am

sprite

oh thanks Fran!

4:49 am

sprite

owwwww sickle cell anemia, I have heard of THAT

4:49 am

FranMag

looks like a good explanation on that site.

4:49 am

Andree

and greeks , italians etc, my mother was greek which is where i got it

4:50 am

FranMag

yep, scary if both parents pass on the trait, baby is unable to produce its own red blood cells.

4:50 am

Andree

when my son was married [ to a croatian] i insisteed on the blood tests

4:51 am

FranMag

my oldest niece has the sickle cell trait, not full-blown anemia though.

4:51 am

sprite

Seriously, we have learned that in biology lessons at school! Only never heard of that th name.

4:51 am

FranMag

her father was african-american.

4:51 am

FranMag

sprite, i think it's slightly different from sickle-cell, but in the same family of disorders. at least that was what our doctor told us.

4:52 am

FranMag

i only heard of it when i met my husband.

4:52 am

sprite

thank you :)
Another thing learned from babble and my fellow babblers. I hope they will be fine, your family?

4:53 am

Andree

our type fran is thallasaemia B minor, does not have any effect on our lifespan or health other than the extra rest we need

4:53 am

FranMag

andree, i'm going to have to interview all my daughter's suitors. :-)

4:53 am

Andree

the red cells have a sickle shape

4:53 am

FranMag

okay, my husband and daughter have alpha thallasaemia. slightly different.

4:54 am

Andree

don't joke, do it fran

4:54 am

FranMag

with them the red cells are just smaller, they have the right amount though.

4:54 am

FranMag

oh, i'm going to andree, but she's just turned 2. :-)

4:54 am

sprite

oh, ok!

4:55 am

Andree

there are greek families in australia who have lost 3 children out of 4

4:55 am

FranMag

that's horrible...i heard there are treatments they can do in utero now.

4:56 am

Andree

i know fran, i only really got worried when Tony was getting married to someone who could have carried the trait

4:56 am

FranMag

well, when both parents have the trait, those are the odds.

4:57 am

Andree

thats why its important when your daughter and my grandson marry that the other is tested

4:57 am

FranMag

andree, you're the first person I've known that actually knew what thallasaemia was.

4:58 am

FranMag

definitely going to do that. she's going to learn the risks also...how's that for birth control!

4:59 am

Andree

very few people do fran, i hardly ever even mention it, it only started with diem living off 3 hours sleep, i so need my rest

4:59 am

sprite

I am off, hugs to all and happy babbling

4:59 am

FranMag

hugs sprite! have a good day

4:59 am

sprite

you too :)

5:01 am

Andree

nothing would have stopped my son marrying the woman he loved [and still adores after 14 years] but they would have had the good sense to consider adoption or other means of a family if she had it too

5:01 am

diem

night sprint

5:01 am

Andree

bye sprite

5:02 am

Andree

you started this diem

5:02 am

diem

i mean have a great day

5:03 am

FranMag

that would have been the smart thing, it's good you insisted on the tests. now they can rest easy(ier)

5:03 am

Andree

my grandaughter [3] is here for the night so i am babbling while she watches barney!!!!

5:04 am

diem

was interesting, better than trolls

5:04 am

FranMag

3-year olds just love Barney!

5:05 am

Andree

they sure do and wiggles etc

5:06 am

Andree

glad we are better than trolls, lol

5:07 am

FranMag

lol

5:09 am

diem

sorry did not mean it that way just glad to get some intelegent info never heard of that before tks

5:09 am

Andree

my mother did not believe the thallasaemia story and took major doses of iron all her life because she was told she was anaemic, as it is not a lack of iron it destroyed her liver

5:10 am

FranMag

no offense taken diem. :-)

5:10 am

Andree

she died many years before her due date

5:10 am

FranMag

oh no andree, that's too bad, i'm glad medicine has advanced a lot.

5:10 am

Andree

no offense diem, funny

5:12 am

FranMag

someone stop me, i almost tried friend again!

5:13 am

Andree

there is an age group you cannot reach fran, i cannot tell you how many times i went over the same thing with my mother, i was diagnosed at 18 when i was nursing, took 6 months to diagnos because i am blonde, last thing that was thought of

5:14 am

FranMag

you're lucky your doctors kept looking. parents have a hard time listening to their kids it seems.

5:14 am

Andree

was vthallasaemia but nothing could or ever would convince my mother, she was horrified when i went off my iron tablets

5:15 am

FranMag

sadly, it was probably because it was what the doctors told her to do.

5:16 am

greenbayladi

good morning all.Its a smaller grid today

5:16 am

Andree

i have had no problems except when pregnant, i had blood transfusions

5:16 am

diem

Fran its still not there honest

5:16 am

FranMag

hi greenbay! no monster today. :-)

5:16 am

greenbayladi

thatt for sure

5:18 am

FranMag

i can see how that would require transfusions, pregnancy takes a toll on the body and your blood had to nourish the baby too.

5:18 am

FranMag
