September Is Sickle Cell Awareness Month

Posted by Victoria Wells on September 3, 2008 at 1:05am

Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder which predominantly affects African Americans in the United States. About 1 in every 12 African American carries the trait for this disorder. The most common form of sickle cell disease is Sickle Cell Anemia.The hallmark for sickle cell disease is pain. Individuals with this disorder suffer with painful episodes called crises. Crises are unpredictable and may occur at anytime, lasting anywhere from hours and may be prolonged for days or weeks at a time.Complications such as severe life threatening anemia, stroke, splenic sequestration, pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, blindness, and acute chest syndrome may occur, some beginning as early as childhood.In order to survive, prevent and correct these complications, blood transfusions or blood exchanges may be required as part of the treatment plan. Some children as young as five years old depend on these procedures about every 6 weeks to prevent the onset or recurrence of a stroke.What can you do for Sickle Cell Awareness Month? I’m so glad you asked! You can give the gift o f life by donating blood. Contact your local American Red Cross and inquire about the sickle cell program. Blood donated to this program is given specifically for patients with sickle cell disease.To learn more about this disorder, click here: Sickle Cell Anemia.Give someone the gift of life today!Victoria

My husband and I came up with the idea for this network after a pretty big disagreement (fight or whatever you'd like to call it). And the name of the network came from when I thought back to how we acted toward one another when we first started dating, we were respectful, patient, kind, and all the other mushy things we all do in the dating stage. After a series of long talks late into the night we decided to that one thing that would help us stay on track with our goals (of having a strong, long lasting and happy marriage) would be a support network, hence 'Still Dating My Spouse,' is that network.Someone might ask why didn't you just go to counceling? First I'd like to say counceling is a great tool and I am all for it but with a working schedule like my husbands and the girls busy schedules it wasn't the most convenient thing for us to do. Now let me say this, if we didn't get it together after the network got started (like you read in many of my blog post and forum discussions) we would of had to nix the schedules, rearrange our lives in order to schedule some counseling in. Cause this time WE were determined to get it right (YES, I said this time- this is a second marriage for both of us). So yes I do believe in counseling (I prefer Christian Counselors- that's just me) and think it is a most valuable tool to help inspire new ways of seeing a PROBLEM in the marriage. That being said, this network will be featuring some marriage counselor, life coaches and other professionals that can INSPIRE all of us to LIVE OUR BEST LIVES.This network of married couples is a place that we all can inspire each other to see problems that, are bound to happen at one time or another, from other couples perspective. And the discussions aren't ment to solve the problem, but to inspire you to see a problem as an opportunity to grow, making effort to change the situation yourself. Change and problem solving always starts with each individuals choices, and the work they are willing to put in (both parties involved) to see the problem for what it is and to choose to do something about it.Go to 'STILL DATING MY SPOUSE,' at www.stilldatingmyspouse.ning.comNo we are not perfect but we are working on it.Love is work and work can be fun, but sometimes hard and always worth it.
