The Imperial Family / Re: What exactly did OTMA know about Alexei's illness?
« on: February 06, 2012, 07:02:50 PM »
I know! but i wouldnt write much either if my diary was being read by someone other than myself! just think of all the interesting stuff we would know about them if they did.
As for their thoughts, being a woman whos about to get married in a couple weeks, I would be devestated if i knew there was such a risk of having a little boy with such a grave illness. You always imagine the perfect husband, pefect house, perfectly healthy children... I think any woman would feel that way...the fear, you know? Not to mention in a way a guilt knowing you were the one who gave your child this disease, even though you can't help it.

I mean i was just thinking, the cautious and overprotective mother that Alix was, when she left her son in Toblosk with Tatiana and Olga in his state, i do believe she would have given them instruction on his care. Not to mention another thing i had been thinking about there had to been talk within the other royal courts about the disease, even their own court. Certainly that knowledge would have gotten to the older girls. I mean think of Olga, i mean if im correct they tried to set her up with Karol of Romania, im sure Missy was worried about the possibility of that disease, i wonder if it ever came up in a discussion between all of them...but like you said robert we're all just guessing here

That is a really good question. I dont think they would have been told of his exact disease, and if they were it wouldnt have been until they were older and more aware of their brothers failing health at times. I mean when the girls were younger i dont think they would have questioned too much whenever a toddler Aleksei fell and was bedridden. They probably just accepted the fact that their baby brother was fragile and got sick often. I know when my brother was around 8 or 9 he didnt question about my epilepsy, just that i would get sick and not be able to go to school. However as they got older im sure they asked more questions, especially if they were to look back on their mothers family history and noticed the pattern. That and when Olga and Tatiana had to care for Aleksei before they were reunited with their parents and Maria, you would have thought Alexandra would have given the girls a precise instruction of his care. Then again she may not have. We really dont know, thats just my take on things.
