Against the odds.

At 7 months I was faced with a bent swollen left knee.My parents were baffled until they took me to a private medical practicioner and was immediately sent to the public hospital. It took two months for my dignosis when in the interim I was treated with Fresh Frozen Plasma and blood transfusion. When the blood results came in, I was diagnosed with Hemophilia A. That is when my treatment started. The medication is aavaliable but close to our country's budget it is scarce because money is not released to buy the product.I attend school with the aide of a motorised scooter and assisted by a personal aide.
