World Hemophilia Day April 17

This post is dedicated to my hemophilia friends new and newer. I am thankful to be a mom living in a country where in this day and age hemophilia can be treated in a way that is safe and predictable. WE are in control of this disorder. It does not control us. Our children are able to live long full lives where they are not ostracized for being different or looked at as sickly. Although treatment is expensive we are fortunate to have measures in place that let all children with hemophilia get treatement. No hemophilia child will have to suffer or become infected with other life threatening diseases. As families dealing with hemophilia, we have good days and bad days but in the end we will not be given more than we can handle. World Hemophilia Day should not only be about awareness, but also be about celebrating how lucky we are that we CAN manage this! Cheers!
