So it has been a few weeks that I have had a chance to post updated news about what has been going on, and information about the pending domain name sale (beholdawhitehorse.com) that I had posed about here – pending domain name sale.
So in short I sold the domain name through Godaddy and received $4000 dollars for the domain name.
The excitment of my first domain name sale (technically second as I transfered a domain name to a client a few months ago) quickly came to an end, and the good life got really, really bumpy when my wife went to the hospital ER on August 23rd for bad headaches and vertigo and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Words can not describe the shock and emotions that came with the doctors reporting on their findings. Because she is so young the doctors at this hospital (Jacobi Medical Center) did not want to provide the operation neded, as they stated they were not equipped to provide the care she should receive, and they suggested that we immediately reach out to one of the major medical centers in NYC. So after 4 days in the hospital we brought her home and started seeking the best brain tumor surgeon in NYC.
We had to act quick because this type of rare brain tumor, a tumor in the fourth ventricle with mild associated hydrocephalus, is causing swelling in her head, and is blocking the spinal fluid circulation to her brain.
Everyone around us have been great; family, friends, co-workers, employees, our team in Pakistan (thanks Ahmad!!!), and the support we have received. Having a network of support is critical in hard times like these, and we are greatful for the network of awesome people we have in our lives.
Luck fell on us because we were referred to, and were quickly able to get an appointment with Dr Jeffrey Bruce at Columbia University Neurological Institute of New York (BIO) and he took the case and scheduled surgery for next Wednesday morning (09/10/2014). It is all happening so fast and is so scary…but we have to hold it together not just for ourselves, but for our 4 boys.
We are looking forward to her very fast recovery and getting back into full swing with domain development, domain name leasing, and now domain name sales!
All your thoughts and prayers are most appreciated!
