Hi AL
What was the speed at which he was transfused? Children do feel uncomfortable when the rate of flow is fast. His weight is very good and height 99cm WOW!!!!. Your little Aqeel is big Aqeel now. :biggrin
take care

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for the good wishes for Aqeel!  :hugfriend

It seems that after the BT he drinks a lot and looks like his appetite are not as normal. He eats a little these few days. Besides that, he is as active as usuall.

Hello AL

What i know is that in order to calculate the amount of blood transfused, you transfuse 15-20 ml of blood for each kilogram of body weight. So in Aqeel case and knowing that he is 14.5 kg. This means he should transfuse from 217ml to 290ml maximum. So why are you transfusing 390 ml, isn't this a big load on the heart?????????????????????????

Hi everyone! just wanna to update on Aqeel progress!

Aqeel HB increased a bit, now its 7.7!
2 weeks back it was 7.5 and the doctor told us to visit them again in 2 weeks time (that was a day before yesterday),.

We were thrilled coz this is only the 2nd time his HB in increased! The first time was way back last year in february/march!

We did study this two weeks and try to make sure that whatever we gave him during the 2 weeks maintained!

It seems that recently he eats a lot, he ate cookies/biscuits a lot and we gave him promegranate juice every day!

we have stop giving him wheatgrass as for the past 1 year or so,,,we dont see any specific improvements on him.

HB 7.7 down to 6.7

Hi Everyone!

Just wanna update, Aqeel had fever+flu+cough for like 1 week now, (due to that he does not eat well as before, and i personally believe that his weight is now reduced), to control the fever, we had to give him paracetamol for like every 5 hours.

At one time he does look week so i sent him straight to the hospital. At the hospital the doctor said that his Hg is 6.7 and his fever was 38, the doctor also notice that his throat is infected (that may be the reason why he does not eat well).

After refering with another doctor, he decided that eventhough Aqeel Hg is 6.7, he told us to give another week and gave medecines for the throut etc. He then told us to to make a revisit in 1 week.

We'll see in 1 week time about the status,,,i will difinately update u all on this.

At the moment Aqeel still does not eat well, (infact too little), but his fever is under control!

I am sorry to hear this AL, but it will benefit him so much if you can give him fresh juice, it will be easier than food, keep him hydrated and supply him with vitamins that he needs. Also don't insist on giving him the typical meals but frequent snaks during the day will be good too. If he is on antibiotics, yoghurt will be very important for him too

Hope he recovers soon    :getwell :getwell

Thank you All for the wishes!

Zaini,

About carao! We have not tried it coz it seems that the shipment did not arrive! luckily i've made arrangements with Mr. Lloyd that i'll make the payment once i received it!

Planning to go for acupunture later, once aqeel gets better!  There's one center here in Kuala Lumpur that sounded its worth a try!

Thanks again to all for the wishes!
