Beginning of a new phase of life

Hi
Other than getting hurt while playing, considering the probability of that is the same for all kids thal and non thal, and the school does have a good first aid system with a qualified nurse supervising is there anything else that I should watch out for? As a child I remember prolonged exposure in the sun usually made me feel faint. Considering my hb was always between 9.5-10 and Hassan is in that range probably only for a few days as he gets transfused when his hb is in the very same range. So he is probably in a better position than I was. Manal since you too live in the desert climate does the sun trouble Ahmed or affect his hb.

Maha,
Though it is hot here too,but actually it is not as Saudi Arabia, but frankly i didn't moniter this much. Usually the break time in schools is early in the morning when the weather is not so hot and usually the school time is in winter (temperature around15c- 20c in the morning)
There is one more thing i want you to remember which is that having Hassan on regular transfusion makes him as any other kid. What applies to others will apply to him and his thal should be forgotten except in the day of transfusion.
Maha, i know that you are anxious because of having a new phase of life (school) but you are the same as all mothers in this stage and thal will not be adding to you any thiing more, i Can assure you of this my friend.
He will be just fine
Please feel free to discuss any other points :wink

Thankyou Zaini ,Manal and Umair
We got with the registeration. School begins on April 6th. This school is quite small compared to the one my daughter attends, considering there are a just over 1000 pupils to the 17500 students in her school it seems only natural. The playground is covered, I don`t know if I am glad about it or not. The sun is kept away but also is fresh air :-\you cant have it all. We talked with the princy, he is a warm and friendly guy. So I suppose everything is just going to be fine. Actually there was a man in the office who actually spoke our mother tongue, I was very relieved after that since Hassan understands very little english, so if there is ever any problem atleast there would be a transalator :biggrin.
