Just routine . rutiinihommia vaan..

Nothing  happens lately, and because autumn is here, we're not much doing special things.. The girls go to school. then we just hang around here, go out , clean the house, cook.. Kinda boring, but I love my routine days :D . 

I took Nader to test the new indoor football field (which is outdoors lol), he was so exited! It's good that there's football fields next to the school, so we can always go there a bit when we go to get the girls home.

Donjana called me today after the first lesson from school. she had a little fever and i had to go and get her home. I think she will stay home tomorrow too. InshaAllah she'll feel better soon.

I've been making cakes again. Dh's friend ordered this one, his two little boys wanted to have a soccer cake, with american football in the corner :D . So I made it. Next one will be Deena's b-day cake. i'm still making plans, not sure what it will be.

So, that much interesting has my life been lately :D

Nykyään me ei juurikaan tehdä mitään erikoista, kun syksy on saapunut. tällä ilmalla ei paljon huvita tehdä suunnitelmia, kun koska vaan voi alkaa sataa kaatamalla. Täällä siis vaan nökötetöön. Ulkoillaan, siivotaan, kokataan, ja muuta rutiinihommaa. Mut nou hätä, mä tykkään mun rutiinipäivistä!


Yhtenä päivänä vein Naderin testaamaan uutta kaukalojalkapallokenttää, joka on rakennettu koulun viereiseen kisapuistoon. Nader oli ihan innoissaan. Kiva, kun noi kentätä on koulun vieressä, voidaan aina mennä pelailee, kun ollaan hakemassa tyttöjä koulusta.


Tänään Donjana soitti koulusta mulle eka tunnin jälkeen. Oli kuulemma hiukan kuumeinen olo, ja kyllä se kuume sitten vielä iltaa kohden nousikin siitä. Taitaa jäädä huominenkin koulupäivä väliin. Toivottavasti menee nopeesti ohi.


OOn väsännyt kakkuakin taas, miehen kaveri tilas jalkkiskakun kahdelle pojalleen. amerikan jalkkis piti toiseen kulmaan kuulemma saada myös. Ja mähän tein työtä käskettyä.. Seuraavaks onkin ens kuussa vuorossa Deenan synttärikakku. suunnittelu on jo käynnissä..


Näin kiinnostavaa on siis ollut mun elämäni viime aikoina..

Have a nice autumn yall! - Hyvää syksyä kaikille!

A sad story that makes me MAD and disappointed at my country :/

I did not find these news in English anywhere, so can't post an english link, just translating it myself from a Finnish newspaper:

A Kurdish asylum seeker sew his lips together to protest the negative decision to his asylum application. He refuses to eat and can now communicate by writing on paper only.

He has a chronic myeloid leukemia, and Iraqi government's health department has given him a statement that he can't be treated in Iraq. He also has political reasons for seeking asylum, two of his brothers have been killed already and he has been threatened too. He has showed Finnish foreign department proof for that. So it's not only his sickness.

There's medication that usually works well for this kind or leukemia, but it doesn't work for him. He needs to be treated in a hospital, an operation which would cost about 50 000€. If they'd give him a right to stay in Finland, he could be operated in a hospital for almost free (alhamdulilah we have a good health care system here).

This brother has also said that the refugee center where he is at, has tried to keep this a secret, he has found it difficult to get himself heard. After all he wrote everything down and his friend read it to an interpreter on the phone, and now it's in all the newspapers.

He is already weak from his sickness and without that operation he will die. He has no idea how long he can last without eating but he says he won't cut the stitches from his mouth before the decision about his case has been changed. It's been put to higher court and it might take a year to get a new decision, he's been told.

This case makes me so mad! We have a law that a refugee can't be sent back to his country if his life is threatened. Already without the disease it seems to be the case. Looks like Finnish authorities don't think the same.. And with his sickness he will die for sure if they don't let him stay! The law doesn't seem to mean cases where someone's life is threatened because of their health..

I wish someone rich would see the article and pay for his operation, or the president tell the foreign office to change their decision (She has done it in a couple of cases, when they wanted to send two grandmothers to their countries, when all the family they had left was here.)

Shame on Finland for doing this to people! If he will die they're responsible!

InshaAllah he will get his operation before it's too late!

Please sisters, keep him in your duas!

Here's a link to a Finnish news paper article if anyone wan't to see it. It includes his picture.

Nader is fine and recovering

So on thursday I woke up Nader early in the morning and took him to the hospital. He was so sleepy, I was afraid he'll throw a fit, but I managed to get him out from the house without drama alhamdulilah. On the way we ended up queueing for a long time in some traffic lights, because they're renewing some asfalt on the highway. I wish I knew it, I would have taken another route. Alhamdulilah we managed to get to the hospital in time.



We signed in downstairs and were told to go to the 11th floor to the ENT outpatient ward. We were taken to the room and got some hospital clothes for Nader. There wasn't much stuff his size, the nurse found only one pair of pants and a t-shirt. They've had a lot of his age kids there lately, so everything was finished. Lol he was proud of his little t-shirt :D

There was still about one and half hours wait before Nader's turn. He watched some videos until it was time for him to be taken to the operation room. I went with them downstairs and said bye to Nader by the door of the operation ward. Then I headed up on the hill in the hospital garden with my book and a thermos full of coffee. Got to get my mind somewhere else so I wouldn't worry. I had over an hour to wait.

My little Nader's operation went well alhamdulilah. They got the palatine tonsils and adenoids both removed as planned, and put the tubes to his ears. I was told that there was a lot of secretion in his both ears. I was surprised because he didn't have any pain in his ears and even the specialist who checked him saw that only in one ear. Alhamdulilah it's taken care now before it affected to his hearing or balance.



He is recovering now. Eating and drinking seem to be a bit of a problem, but alhamdulilah he is trying so he gets at least something. it's heart breaking to see him craving for something and then when he tries, he can't have it. :(

I have tons of popsicles and ice cream at home, but he doesn't seem to be interested. He tried two kinds of ice cream and one kind of popsicle. Now they're in the freezer half eaten.



I can't make him drink as much as recommended, but he doesn't have any signs of dehydrating, so i think it's all good. And he surprised me yesterday! He ate a big plate on cold tagliatelle with plain creme sauce.. alhamdulilah. he's been eating chocolate pudding too. seems like it's easier to swallow than liquid stuff.

He hasn't had any bleeding alhamdulilah. InshaAllah he will continue recovering well!

Nader will be operated tomorrow

My little boy needs an operation :( . Nader has had his nose running or blocked almost since he was born. If he gets a flu, his nose will be running two months after the flu is gone. Usually it's been better in the summer. He has always been breathing hard while sleeping, and lately he has been snoring too.This spring he had an ear infection, and when we went to check out if it was healed after a few weeks, the infection was still there.



We had appointment with an ENT, and she checked Nader. She said that his ear is still not healed. It's not really infected either, so it doesn't need antibiotics.. It just has some liquid inside. They call it glue ear, because his adenoids are way too big so the ear air conditioning doesn't work.

His adenoids need to be removed and he needs ear tubes. His palatine tonsils are huge as well, and if they're not removed now, they will need to be removed sooner or later anyway. It's better everything is done at once so we don't have to think about it again and Nader don't have to go through the pain and stuff twice.


We were supposed to get a letter from the hospital about one week before the operation, but yesterday they called me and asked if we can go on thursday. We had a plan to go to Moomin world that day, so we had to change our plan. We left to Moomin world right away so the choldren wouldn't miss it. Nader can't go anywhere for a whole week after the operation, and 'sport' is forbidden two weeks, so we can't go to any action places any time soon.

It might be hard on Nader to take it easy for so long. I guess about 99% of his moves can be counted as sport, he is a really active kid mashaAllah. He is a strong boy and inshaAllah he'll recover quickly.





We bought tons of ice cream, ice lollies, chocolate puddings, spiced yogurts etc, because nader can eat only cold foods on the first days. He is exited.. For now. I'm afraid once he realizes why he needs to eat those, he may throw a fit and refuse to eat anything. I really don't know what to expect from him. He is usually not making problems when he is sick, but he throws fits for getting hurt and acts very dramatic sometimes, so his reaction can be pretty much anything. InshaAllah he will understand to not shout and eat his ice thingies nicely..

So, tomorrow morning at 8 am we need to check in the hospital. The operation will start about at 10 am. If everything goes well, we can go home about 4 hours after the operation, so it should be some time in the afternoon inshaAllah.



Hang in there Nader habibi! ♥ mama loves you! ♥


May Allah subhanahuwata'ala bless and protect my little boy and let the surgery go well! Ameen

Please sisters, keep him in yalls duas! ♥
