Sickle Stories

It takes a special kind of family to raise a kid with a debilitating illness. But if you can survive the challenges of raising a kid with Sickle Cell and usher that kid to adulthood with your family intact, that's a bond strong enough to withstand anything. This is a true story about my Sickle Cell diagnosis at 3 years old and how my family dealt with the long hospital stays, finding a doctor who cares, finding ways to make home life as comfortable as possible, and never ever letting me see myself as a burden. This is one short story from a full length autobiography I've been writing over the past year.

How does sickle cell disease occur in the human body?

Luella can physically appear to be your average young kid, but inside, a lot more is happening. Sickle Cell Anemia had only JUST started control her everyday life when her bodily health took a downfall. Because of how severe this disease is, she is aware she might not be able to have as long as a lifespan as others, but still sticks to her regimen knowing it won't really be worth it in the end. Archie, her best (and only) friend has tried his best to stick with her through everything, knowing the person she used to be, but since she was sick, she felt she'd never ever be the same person.

When God speaks everyone should listen. Lost,confused and searching for answers .Shakirah opens her ears and is given a task by guardian angels. Hope she is wise enough not to follow the same steps as Shaytan( the devil). Pride is something that can ruin anyone! though I have no right to, I get surely with my doctors, short-tempered with the people whose job it is to keep me comfortable. I rail against a diagnosis I don't want to hear: I refuse to accept it, knowing that my refusal won't change a thing, that my opinion in this context counts for nothing. I think, childishly, that if I don't believe it, it won't come true, as if the truth of this thing were predicated on my belief in it.
