Have been meaning to register here for some time, but finally found a minute.

My 11 yr old daughter Kira has been diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia recently and is scheduled for a BMT in late April with her 9 yr old brother as a matched donor.

We are so happy to have found this site as she just finished reading Evan's story and said "Yup, that's about what the doctor said would happen." It was fantastic for her to see & read first hand from someone her own age.

I however have a million questions, fears, hopes, etc which are very grateful to have this place to come and find out they are not very different than the other questions, fears and hopes out there.

As the countdown trudges on I am just wondering if any one has any pre-transplant suggestions to help her going into the transplant.

Thanks
