| Happy May Day to all! Just a quick note to let everyone know that the May 2008 AIHA/IMHA Success Story is now up at the Meisha’s Hope Web site. This month’s story is about Casper who not only had/has IMHA but also ITP (immune mediated thrombocytopenia) at the same time, which results in a condition known as Evans Syndrome. Casper’s human mom/caregiver, Leslie posts on this forum. The following URL will take you directly to Casper’s Success Story http://www.cloudnet.com/~jdickson/successstories.htm Be sure to follow the link in the “editors note” at the end of Casper’s Success Story to the IMHA section of Leslie’s online store where you can find some great IMHA items. All the commissions Leslie receives from the sale of these IMHA items will go to the Meisha’s Hope AIHA/IMHA Fund #338 at Morris Animal Foundation. I purchased a sweatshirt, t shirt and mouse pad from this site and was very pleased with the quality of this merchandise. You will also notice that all the main pages of the Meisha’s Hope Web site now carry the AIHA/IMHA Awareness and Fund Raising Initiative, “Race for Hope” decal. Clicking on this decal will take you to the Race for Hope page at the Meisha’s Hope Web site: http://www.cloudnet.com/~jdickson/raceforhope.htm This page contains some basic information about the Race for Hope Initiative as well as links to other sites that will provide you with more info. There is still more info to come and I will be updating this page as this information becomes available. Once again the following URL will take you directly to Casper’s most inspiring Success Story: http://www.cloudnet.com/~jdickson/successstories.htm I am sure it will give Hope and encouragement to those with newly diagnosed AIHA/IMHA/ITP/Evans Syndrome dogs as well as to those who are continuing to struggle with the disease/diseases. Hugs to all the canine kids from my little canine red-headed gal, Maddie and me. |
