Thanks everyone for the well wishes and cheers. Nathan is 10.4lbs as of this week monday. He is growing up really fast, which is a good sign.
My hb is only 9.0 but the good newsis that my hematologist allowed my baby and me to have a vacation. Actually she encouraged us because the weather and atmosphere in the province may be better for me and baby Nathan.

By the way sydneygirl yes there is a fertility work-up that I did have to undergo to ensure the baby will be concieved with utmost care , but it did not assure that he will notinherit my thal.
Anyway, i'll keep intouch with evryone as soon as I find a net connection there or as soon as i get back. God bless to all and may we all find strength and better health always.
